What is a TinyMCE?

by Emmanuel D. on November 25, 2010

You probably have encountered the term TinyMCE when using Django or other CMS or you probably have use it but just don’t know what it is.. Well, TinyMCE is s a platform independent web based Javascript HTML WYSIWYG editor control released as Open Source under LGPL by Moxiecode Systems AB. It has the ability to convert HTML TEXTAREA fields or other HTML elements to editor instances. TinyMCE is very easy to integrate into other Content Management Systems.

Yes. It’s a platform or an HTML editor. More like a widget or a plugin. As you see, most CMS allows you enter posts or content like right now.. im blogging this using WordPress via post but I cannot edit the post in a WYISWYG manner. I have to hard code it with CSS to get the appearance that I wanted. Thanks to TinyMCE, it converts my CMS into mini-dreamweaver or frontpage.

Why TinyMCE is vital to all CMS, here are the reasons:
1. Easy to Integrate – You can integrate it with your Django and other CMS easily. (ill post a guide on installing TinyCME to Django).
2. Customizable – It can adopt to any kind of themes and plugins.
3. Browser Friendly – It works in all browsers.
4. Supports AJAX – It can support AJAX scripts.
5. International – It has international and multilingual supports.
6. Open Source – I dont need to explain this one.. fine.. its free! Dummy!

So download it now and make your Django and other CMS and one robut WYISWYG HTML editor!
