  • Increasing functions in WYSIWYG editor

    • Hi there

      I use article manager alot for my site and i find the editor that comes with it is rather lacking in functions.

      I have to use html to code my articles at times.

      Is there a way to enable more functions in the editor? Something similar to JCE would be good

    • Well, what's wrong with JoomlaFCK, JCE, RokPad and the HTML buttons there?
    • Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

    • Hi Prim

      I'm still pretty new to Joomla so its still searching in the dark for me.

      Things like changing font size, paragraphing, etc, i cant seem to do it via the editor.

      What i would normally do is write out my article on word pad then copy and paste in article manager

      Is there a way to enable these functions?

      Or do i have to install JCE?

    • hi there,

      you can try to change some settings in the plugin manager, for example for tinymce as seen in the screenshot:

      anyways, if you are serious about webdesign, try to learn some basic html instead.
      these wysiwyg editors can make your life easy but also really hard.

      a great place to learn html is w3schools.com/

      also, do not copy/paste anything from word etc into your joomla articles, those programs use code that has nothing to do in a website and can even break the layout completely.

    • JCE is your friend :)

      www.joomlacontenteditor.net/

      If you find you need to use one i think the above is best, take a look and try it :)

      For me Rokpad all the way :)

    • JCE provides you with a window to use to paste in text from a Word document. That has helped me a lot - saves a lot of re-formatting of the text.

      I agree with Alex. Install JCE and try it. If you don't like what it does for you, uninstall it and try something else.
