WidgEditor implementation in admin interface

  • I have been working on a blog that will have many users posting, and nearly all of them have such minimal experience with HTML that the default WP interface seems insufficient. After much looking around, it seems that WidgEditor is the simplest (yet strong) choice out there. I haven’t been able to put it into the admin interface though. The JavaScript and CSS are called correctly but nothing appears.

    Is anyone aware with a conflict between WP 1.5 and this editor? What are your thoughts?

  • I have never used WidgEditor and won’t comment on it directly. I installed similar software and ended up deciding that it was just easier to beat some sense into the people doing the blogging. Things like “highlight the word and then click on the ‘B’ button.” It has worked out quite well, actually. I still can’t get them to do pretty links that don’t extend 3 feet across the page, but they’ve got the rest of it down pretty good.

    My problem with the editors was that when editing text there was always some garbage code left behind. It wasn’t unusual to find DIV and SPAN tags floating aimlessly about inside the text.

    I know the folks at Drupal were looking at incorporating the widgEditor because it is so clean and easy to incorporate. I’m moving apartments so I don’t have to time to incorporate it, but I read the docs and they said it’s pretty much a “drop in” install. I bet it’d be quite easy.
