Is FCKeditor viable for a ColdFusion site

[Karen_Little]

I'm just returning to programing a long dormant site of mine. In the past, I handcrafted an online editor, but now, I'd like something more sophisticated and am thinking about FCKeditor. Does anyone have experience with it? (Does this forum use FCKeditor?)

A web search returned this link (FCKeditor 2.x/Developers Guide/Integration/ColdFusion - CKSource Docs) related to ColdFusion. Is this information up-to-date?

You can use the old FCKEditor CustomTag with the new CKEditor.  (All it does it auto-generate some HTML & inline Javascript.)  I highly recommend checking out the new CKEditor and either updating the existing FCKEditor tag to meet your needs or use the integration samples here:

Do NOT use the old FCKEditor.

If you need file uploads, check out CKFinder ($99) or the ColdFusion File Manger for CKEditor 4 (free). (NOTE: CKFinder is also bundled with Mura.)

Thanks for the very quick reply! Also, Lanex.com, my sites' hosting company, supports and approves this, too.
