CMS -WYSIWYG Editors

[Dorza]

Im currently working on a CMS and ive managed to get the users input from a form to display on the front page of my site. However this simple form is not enough and i require some sort of editor that will allow a user to input links, pictures and format text without haveing to know html. Im talking about some sort of editor that is similar to the one we all use to make and edit our posts. Ive searched on google and not found anything very helpful asfar as making one for a CMS is concerened. Does any one know of any links , tutorials for makeing one and or any other usefull information about them?

Also when we use tags such as "[QUOTE]" would that be an example of Perl Compatable Regular Expresions at work. If so some info on PCRE's and how to use them would be nice to. Ive gone to PHP.net and found their guide to it rather confuseing. Thanks for any help

regex is very confusing imo, even after reading a chapter on it i still could never grasp it. To insert tags you'd have to use some simple JavaScript from what I can remember. Most of the CMS input forms are made using a lot of JavaScript, there are some good tutorials on the net as i've seen them, finding them however is the hard part

Ok, ive spent the last day or two searching for for editors and to my delight i came across Tinymce, via Geniisoft.com. Tinymce is just what im after: fully featured and easy to integrate, and it doesnt have a boring GUI (most ive seen look like word 97). Basicly Tinymce converts all textareas in your current forms into WYSIWYG editors. Its great how how they made the itegration so simple.

I've spent some time this week integrating this into our enterprise content management software at work, and so far it's been the most reliable, fully featured and easy to integrate rich text editor we've tried
