Hello all...
I have a requirement for a very basic editor for a website where users post comments on articles.
For legal reasons we must not allow users to post hyperlinks or embed images in their comments. I was originally using TinyMCE for this, but in user testing it was found that even though I disabled all IMG tag buttons in TinyMCE, some browsers would still allow users to right-click/copy on an image and then right-click/paste on a TinyMCE window and the image would get pasted in and saved as a IMG SRC=... hotlink.
To solve this problem I had to have the application code manually strip all IMG tags from comments before saving them, but this also broke smileys because they are pasted into the editor using this method. And of course the site owner would like smileys turned back on.
FCK also seems to beat the pants off TinyMCE for ease of use and cross-browser compatability, so I'd love to switch. I'm reading through the documentation, but if someone can at least let me know that it is possible to strip out a lot of the features, I'll figure out the how.
As I write this message, I fall more in love with FCKeditor. Is this forum using it? The perfect world for me would be a toolbar interface to BBCode. Does FCKeditor convert the BBCode to HTML before returning the form? Do smileys get converted to image tags? Can I allow smileys while blocking other user-supplied images?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
