One of the many complaints/concerns/worries about CMS we’ve heard from folks who use CMS on a daily basis is the wonky editor for your content. I believe I’ve explained to a few folks who have asked that the current editor in CMS version 5.2 (what we’re using now) is going to be replaced in the upgraded CMS version 6. Hooraayyy!!
Ingeniux recently wrote a blog post about the editor and some of the theory behind WYSIWYG (”what you see is what you get”) editing on their site. In it, Nathan references the new editor version 6 of CMS will use, TinyMCE. Make sure you check out the demo of the application. Across the top of that page you’ll see other links to what it looks like with all the features enabled and also what it looks like with some skinning work done on it.
Anyway, here’s to the new content editor! We’re extremely excited about this upgrade in the new version of CMS. We foresee it making life much easier on all of us!
I am glad you are as excited about the new editor as we are at Ingeniux. While no edit control is perfect this is a big step up for Ingeniux CMS and will improve user experience. Beyond the edit control, the entire version 6 client is new and provides a much better experience. In my book no more Active X is just as exciting as the new Tiny editor. And thanks for reading the blog. We have posted some more articles this week that you may be interested in – http://www.ingeniux.com/blog.xml
