[geeklog-users] WYSWYG Editing?

[- Ed -]

TechFan, I've used HTML Area a lot, so if you have any questions, feel free
to contact me.
You can find me on Geeklog.net as user emagin.

One recommendation to all Geeklog admins using  Windows, is that you grab
the OpenSource code compare tool called WinMerge
http://winmerge.sourceforge.net/

I use it DAILY to update different versions of Geeklog to my latest
production version, or for testing with Dirk's, Vinny's and Tony's great CVS
work (and other too).

The trick with lots of enhancements like HTMLArea is that they must be
applied to LAYOUTS.
So it gets pretty hairy if you have lots of layouts as choices in your
install.
With WinMerge, or unix equivalent, it's a snap to push code from one layout
to the next without mucking up your code.   You break a layout your site
might not load!

Good luck!

 : I had to introduce another user to how to post stories this week and
 : ended up having to teach them HTML tags.  I saw the sourceforge update
 : email and noticed FCKEditor (a GUI web-hosted HTML editor).  It sure
 : would be nice to have a way to simply let them format their posts.
 : Would it be possible to integrate something like this?  Or is there
 : another solution someone suggests?  Really, all they need would be text
 : size controls, bold, italics, underline, maybe strike-through, numbered
 : and bulleted lists, plus a way to indent. . .

 : Anyway, thinking about how to solve a problem. . .thanks.
