Web-Based Rich Text Editors

Posted by Cotton Rohrscheib on Monday, March 10, 2008 · View Comments

I have been trying to figure out how to allow RTE to add images and store them locally (in a writeable web folder) on an application that I put together for a client a while back. While out looking for information I went to PHPR’s Help Section and found this basic information on the 3 text editors that will plug into PHPR (phprunner) as of right now.

Basic Rich Text Editor
This editor support is builtin into PHPRunner. Nothing to download or configure. Just select it from the list of available Rich Text Editors. This editor is lightweight and footprint is very small. Documentation, support forum and examples are available at http://www.kevinroth.com/rte/

FCKEditor
Proceed to http://www.fckeditor.net and download the latest version of FCKEditor. Create a folder named FCKEditor under C:\Program files\PHPRunner3.1\source\plugins
(C:\Program files\PHPRunner3.1\source\plugins\FCKEditor). Unzip FCKEditor files to this folder. After that FCKEditor will be available for selection on Textarea dialog.
FCKEditor adds 400+ files to the generated application, footprint is about 2.5Mb.
FCKEditor documentation is available on the Web at http://wiki.fckeditor.net

InnovaStudio Editor
Download Innova Editor from our website http://www.asprunner.com/files/innovaeditor.zip. Create a folder named InnovaEditor under C:\Program files\PHPRunner3.1\source\plugins
(C:\Program files\PHPRunner3.1\source\plugins\InnovaEditor). Unzip Innova Editor files to this folder. After that InnovaEditor will be available for selection on Textarea dialog.
InnovaEditor adds about 1000 files to the generated application, footprint is about 3.5Mb.
FCKEditor documentation and examples can be found in documentation folder.

I am using the RTE editor on this project currently, its the smallest footprint and comes loaded by default in my IDE. I am going to attempt today to load FCKEditor and see if I can make it do what I want it to do.
