Installation Verification

Developer's GuideCKEditor Integration

I agree with the original poster. I have done all you suggest. My installation has been verified. What is next? I assume this is a browser-based editor?
If so, how do I begin to edit pages? Is there code to paste into each page? Is there a login? How do I start to use the editor?
Sorry, but it is not clear to me. I am not a coder.

Thanks.

I had the same problems as the OP/TS. It should be made clear on the CKEditor website that it is not a stand-alone CMS, let alone a stand-alone WYSIWYG website builder. It is a WYSIWYG widget that is to be built in in a CMS. A good widget, as far as I can tell, but useless for non-programmers.

Yeah, I guess your right. It should be made clear...

CKeditor does not need to create a manual for users to learn how to be developers so they can utilize their product.

To the right of 'Home' within the menu of CKeditor.com there is a menu link labeled 'What is CKEditor?'.
Upon opening the menu link which reads; 'What is CKEditor?' one will find the following:

'you'll be able to integrate and use it inside any kind of application' ... 'This is the ideal editor for developers, created to provide easy and powerful solutions to their users.' within the second paragraph.

There is also a menu holding the various features available for the 'End user' features and the 'Developer' features.

Clearly CKEditor is not intended for the average joe/jane. Joe or Jane will need to have some development experience in either PHP, ASP.NET, Sharepoint or Java. Among other things IE; security set-up...

There are numerous forums, sites and books available if you wish to learn to be a developer in any language that CKEditor resides on. This would be your best avenue to begin your understanding of how to utilize CKEditor within your application, site...

I think that it would be better if that Talk page is removed just in case someone else is able to find it again (I don't know how he managed to find that instead of the current documentation).

It seems to be an overview of how CKEditor works, but I think that other pages explain that much better and if there's something useful there it can always be added in a place where people would be able to find it more easily.
