Just curious about this one. I deal with a lot of small businesses that don't have large budgets. So we setup HTML websites for a fair price and give them hosting. A lot of these customers ask about making changes. They want to do this themselves. Well I am sure we can edit Joomla to an extent to make this suite their needs but what about .htaccess file that password protects the directory to a FCK Editor where they can change their page or pages. This way we can just do something in html.

They have a java script version. Anyone have experience with this one?

We use fck editor in some of our projects, but it seems like it's a pain to setup.

What I've been doing with clients that have a modest budget is point them to the Coffee CUp free html editor. If they have godaddy server they can upload their files when their done straight from there. If not, the free ftp editor filezilla does a nice job.

Those 2 are a nice little combo for my clients that have a budget. I wrote a little tutorial that shows them how to get set up so I can use that with all my clients.

Yes, I have tried a few times to get the FCK editor working and still without luck. I figure I would just have an admin page that is password protected with a htaccess file and it would have a link to edit pages for each page of the website. But I haven't been able to get that working just yet.

A great alternative to the headaches you might find with using FCK Editor in a production environment, is TinyMCE. While the editor is free, it is capable of doing a lot more with commercial add-ons.

TinyMCE looks like the way to go. I can't seem to find any documentation on posting the data on a different page. Still doing research.
