Oliver,

I'd like to be able to add the target of the link in the WYSIWYG. Yes, I can just edit the HTML, but for my users not so HTMLfluent :lol: they have a hard time understanding the concept.

If you have any suggestions on where to look to change it myself, that would be appreciated as well. Thanks.

There is at least one of them that allows to so so. Don't feel like checking them all out, but try yourself and you'll find the answer.

I'm talking about the WYSIWYG editor when you ADD an article to PHPWCMS. Not an external editor. When you add an article, you can do plain text, HTML, WYSIWYG,etc. content types.

The button in the WYSIWYG editor, where you highlight the text, then click the button to make that text a link, a pop-up box comes up but has no option to make that link's target anything else. Whatever program or code that runs the WYSIWYG editor from WITHIN PHPWCMS, doesn't have an option. If I knew where to look for it, I could hack it. But quite frankly, I have no idea.

There is more than one possible WYSIWYG editor in phpWCMS. What is the setting for your "config.inc.php" line as follows:

Code: Select all

$phpwcms["wysiwyg_editor"]    = 3;        //0 = no wysiwyg editor, 1 = HTMLarea, 2 = FCKeditor, 3 = browser based, 4 = spaw
BTW, you can ~try~ one of the others, some work better than others, depending on which browser your user's will have, whether mod_rewrite rules will be in place, etc.

Thanks! This is the info I needed. I'm using whatever the default is. So I'll check it tonight. Thanks again!
