better joomla content editor?
I am using the tinyMCE WYSIWYG editor. Is there a better one out there there is more straight forward and most importantly easy enough for my 12 year old students to use without asking questions? Ideally it would have an easy in text image attachment function.
Editor suggestions/tutorials/links would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I agree! I just ran the demo on their site and it works exactly like I want.....
the problem is I installed it.....but the Tiny WSIWYG editor keeps being shown. I have disabled it though! Im confused!
Help!

Re: better joomla content editor?
judging by responses to other questions, and my own limited experience, you have to enable that editor in all user accounts individually. I.e. if you make MosCE the default editor in your global configuration when logged in as administrator, it will only be default for the administrator account.

Hi
It will be nice if your 12 years old students start learning the right way by introducing basics html elements
Hard in the beginning, but think of what they can gain in the long run
MosCe is very heavy and still unstable which might give you errors in future Joomla Upgrades.

Re: better joomla content editor?
I agree with sam1970. I have tried ALL of them (e.g. TinyMCE, MosCE, FCKEditor, etc) and they are all heavy for my needs. Where they get slow is in the initial load and heaven forbid you have a large selection of folders and images in your "images folder". That will cause the image manager to come to a crawl.sam1970 wrote: Hi

Hopefully someone will step up to the plate and build a light weight AJAX based editor with directory caching to overcome some of these limitations.

I have also found that mosCE does not work properly in a shared hosting enviroment. When trying to add in images you receive a Direct Acces not allowed error (or something similar). Which seems to be a common problem but has no fix.
