Would the Concrete5 community be interested in a new HTML editor?

Permalink
Hi,

I am a website application developer. Recently developed a new WYSIWYG editor / page builder and resources manager for custom and legacy CMS systems. I am currently reviewing all sorts of CMS platforms available to ascertain which ones to build (or outsource) a plugin to integrate my new editor and resources manager within. I have already created WordPress and Joomla plugins plus an easy to install custom build which I have manually [hacked] installed into various CMS platforms - (although not through an installable plugin, just to test proof of concept).

I’m looking to see if the Concrete5 community would be interested in getting rid of the default inline html editor for a more modern, fully featured system.

Take a look at the editor website to get a better overview of what it does and how it works.http://www.rgeeditor.ninja

If there’s enough interest, we can look at getting a plugin written for Concrete5.

Cheers

C5 legacy uses tinyMCE and the new 5.7 uses Redactor that, I agree, is a bit light to my taste BUT it is replaced in 5.8 with CK Editor which is pretty complete.

Anything your editor does better than CK Editor?

[EDIT] Sorry I just had a look at your site and videos. I looked at the Bootstrap site builder video. It's pretty neat but I wonder what it would add to COncrete5 in-page editing and how they might work together? DO you have an idea already?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

rgeEditor does a tonne of stuff that CK Editor does not... both TinyMCE and CK are inline text editors that work with HTML as opposed to a full featured HTML Editor, Resource Manager (including crop / resize upon upload and online image edit) as well as editing CSS / Javascript / XML files etc.

The page builder functionality is just one "bonus" really, the ability to actually visually construct, edit and manipulate content layout (not just the text) is a major bonus... along with tools to manage pasting word, markdown, tables, apply "your" styles and classes, manage emended video, maps and easily make plugins to manage other content types is key.

And, to top it all off, the whole thing with about 90% of the toolset works on mobile / tablet devices (CK does not) so you can edit your content on the move.

I would recommend looking at the features list / watching some feature videos to get a better overview of how this differs from CK editor.

I wrote an article that explains the reasoning: https://www.rgeeditor.ninja/the+growing+void+between+inline+editors+...

I hope this helps,

Peter
