I installed the FCKeditor module today. FCKeditor is a what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) editor. TinyMCE is another very popular editor. I've had mixed success with that one in the past. After seeing a real good review of the different editor options I decided to give FCK a go on this site.

It's very important that you follow the directions in the Read Me file very closely when installing any rich text editor for Drupal. For example, unlike most Drupal modules both TinyMCE and FCK require a download from a third party website. Also be aware that WYSYWYG editors can sometimes play havoc with media (like YouTube videos) that you try to embed in posts.

I really don't like what FCK

I really don't like what FCK does with the paragraph tags, so I looked for and found a post that told me to change something in the config...

FCKConfig.EnterMode = 'br' ;
FCKConfig.ShiftEnterMode = 'p' ;

in

fckconfig.js

But it doesn't seem to work...

Any ideas?

There are definitely some

There are definitely some quirks that you need to deal with when using either TinyMCE or FCK. So far I've just been using FCK out of the box without any modifications. So I'm sorry to say that I don't have any answers on this particular issue.

TinyMCE "abandoned" as Drupal RTE?

TinyMCE was abandoned as a Drupal RTE http://drupal.org/node/208456 - apparently WYSIWYG API has added support for it - do you really want to use the default Joomla RTE? Srsly, I used TinyMCE 4 or 5 years ago when it was "best in show" but FCK is far superior, creates more standards compliant codes, and is more configurable. It is my "default" editor when I need a RTE for complex posts with images and other formatting. Sure, sometimes you gotta roll up your sleeves and edit the source - after all, you're posting on the web, right?
