[geeklog-devel] Registering My Favorite WYSIWYG HTML Editor

[Web Site Master]

I like solution 2 better as well. This way Geeklog has full control of the editor selected and you can have more than one editor installed. Doing it the other way may create problems if you have 2 plugins installed that each have a different editor. 

My one question is do we want the user to be able to select their own advance editor if more than one is installed? I personally would say no. I would want them to only use the one I have selected for the site.


The only other downside to me is that plugins are easy to install since you can do it from the Geeklog plugin interface. At some point in the future we should try to add an interface so webmasters can install themes and editors directly from the Geeklog Admin.


By the way, thanks for your work Dengen.


Tom
