Third Party Visual Editors Joomla 3
Third-party visual editors are available in the component type extension. In the article, consider the three main components visual editor: JCE, CKEDITOR, ARK EDITOR.
Editor JCE
The JCE visual editor refers to the type of joomla-component extensions. Perhaps this is the most famous visual editor for Joomla. The editor is actually multifunctional. Native language English, on the editor website you can download localization packages. Russian translation is quite complete. The editor has many settings. All settings on the tab Components → JCE.
Features JCE
The editor has several designs. external viewAs a visual editor and its text editor. To go from the visual text editor to have its own button. Very convenient insert and editing photos from the article from the media manager of the site.
Disadvantages of JCE
The editor provides the "Style" button to make texts. But the setting of the button is complex and does not always work.
Activation problems remain (General Settings → Editor's Selection) when updating the Joomla version. The problem is related to the inconsistency of the localization version of the Joomlae Localization Package itself. It is eliminated by replacing the Localization Package of the site Cleaning the site and browser cache (Ctrl + F5).
Editor CKEditor
Free component Joomla. Registration is not needed even when downloading. The editor is simple and easy and terribly reminiscent of the built-in TinyMCE. The disadvantages can be attributed, again, uncomfortable inserting photos. They are inserted on the URL, and not directly from the Media Manager library.

However, the editor has an extension CKFinder - Ajax File Manager. With him inserting photos is greatly simplified. That's just one nuisance, this expansion is paid.

The Ark Editor editor is a long-known JCK Editor editor, but fully updated. The component remained free, but filled, I am not ashamed of this word, huge functionality.

In addition to standard functional, big choice styles, add to the texts of the buttons, placing text in columns, design photos in LightBoxEnight from the editor, etc.
The deficiency of the editor, as not strange it sounds, brute force with the functionality. A large number of Plugins can conflict with extensions already installed.

In today's lesson, dear blog readers we will consider jCE-EDITOR component best editor Joomla 2.5.. Why best? Yes, because his functionality simply amazes. I will say honestly that I also do not know all its features. I use only a small tolik, but it is enough. I'll tell you about what I know myself.
Text editor JCE (deciphered as Joomla Content Editor) is a whole package of extensions to work with any practically content.
Important! Plugins are set not through Extensions\u003e Extension Manager , and through the installer jCE-EDITOR component.
After installing the plugins you need, just across the installer of the component of the JCE-EDITOR, make the rusification of the component.
With installation jCE-EDITOR extensions We finished and go to its configuration.
Go to the Global Configuration tab. Here we leave everything by default.
In principle, here you can still leave the default. The only thing you can assign user groups to display the editor.
Tab FEATURES - Here you can edit buttons, which are necessary by simple drag and drop from the current mockup editor to the available buttons and back. Or change the buttons in places edited by grouped them to themselves.
Tab Editor Settings\u003e Installations - We leave the default.
Tab Editor Settings\u003e Parameters - In the upper part, everything is intuitive. If there is no need to change something, then we leave as it is.
But at the bottom of the settings change Not on the Yes Allow JavaScript, Allow CSS, Allow PHP, Allow Applet , Show all characters. And you can also change the Russian ON / OFF switch label.
Tab Editor Parameters\u003e File system - Leave unchanged.
Now go to the settings of plugins. Tab parameters plug-ins. Here will be more interesting.
We consider everything in order from top to bottom. Settings plugins Gap article, browser files Do not touch.
Honestly did not understand. I understand that these are settings for visualizing tables created in the material. If you want, and there is time, experiment yourself.
File manager. In the settings you can specify the path to a specific folder where your files will contain. Default jCE EDITOR text editor Opens the Images folder. You can add a folder to this field to allow File and when you click on the button in the Add file, you will get there. Please pay attention to setting the default settings. Here you can ask how the file will open: in this window, in a new window, etc. And also include the file format icon, the date of the file and its size. I recommend to turn them on. These parameters will be added to the file automatically.
Especially emphasizing your attention to the parameter Permissible file extensions . A very important parameter hidden for an inconspicuous button. I suffered for a very long time, not understanding why JCE EDITOR Editor Does not see the RAR archive. This expansion Just not in the default settings. Therefore, I recommend carefully to this button in the settings of all plugins of this editor. Since not all you used formats on the site can be there. The format is added via the Add button.
Everything is intuitive here. We will not even delay. I recommend not touching anything, only check all the formats you need are spelled out in the settings.
Here you need to pay attention to the fact that you can immediately set the parameter for all links to open in a new window or frame.
All clear. There should be no problems.
You can create a folder in images and specify the path to it. Check if all file extensions are prescribed to you.
Did not understand. Leave the default.
Here the same is understandable.
In the templates manager, leave all the parameters as it is.
Well, it seems to be all, the settings dismantled, it remains a little bit turn on the editor itself. Rather, make it the default editor.
Go to B. Site\u003e General Settings\u003e Website.
In the settings of the default editor, select Editor-JCE.
We go to the materials manager. Create new Material And from us Editor-JCE default.
When you connect to the mouse pointer button, a prompt appears what the button. Look and disperse yourself. If you do a lesson to take it, then this is another five sheets.
Now everything. And we disassembled text editor JCE-EDITOR Best editor for Joomla 2.5 Its installation and configuration.
