[RESOLVED] Forum style CMS editor help

[Maharg105]

Hi Guys,

I'm currently programming a custom CMS, as a learning project if you will. The whole thing is work fantastically. But I wondered if someone might be able to point me in the direction of some resources as to how I could implement a content editor similar to the one I am currently writing in.

So that the user can select to make text bold or insert a hyperlink etc and it will automatically put in the necessary code. If someone could point me towards something that simply makes the text bold (as the user looks at it) instead of presenting them with code (a WYSIWYG CMS I guess) that would be even better.

And, as always, thanks again,

it sounds like you need something like tinymce or ckeditor ... or one of the others

Having tried tinymce I'm giving ckeditor a go and it seems to work fine

Thanks Steampunk, that is exactly what I was looking for. Which of the two do you find better?

Thanks again,

Both TinyMCE and CKeditor are much used.
They have many features.
Such I never use and never will use.
This makes them kinda HEAVY/Bloated and 1-2 MBytes of files to upload.

I have found a VERY lightweight alternative.
It is a new code and so is using modern ways of editing.
MarkItUp! is also javascript and will only use one or two 100kB of files.
And works just as well as the other.

This is a basic DEMO example:
