Hi,

is there a way to edit components with a WYSIWYG-Editor?

Alex
No, but you can create a child page. Make it private.
Then edit it as normal and use getPageContent('slug'); to output its contents on your template.
or in a component!
components are made for html and code, so they really cannot be wysiwyg.

Good idea! That's what i was looking for.

Thx.
Alexander, there is a browser plugin which lets you use the editor everywhere with all textareads, so you can use it to edit components as well

It's called WriteArea, for Firefox it is here: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/write-area/

for other browsers, do a search for "WriteArea" and you will find it.

"Whenever you find a textarea in a page where HTML is allowed you can use the entry from the context menu to launch this editor that will enable you to easily write the HTML without worrying about the syntax thanks to the embedded WYSIWYG editor. The core is CKEditor 3.5 with some extra patches, and it also provides a way for CKEditor to use the internal spellchecker."

I use it quite often.
Hi together,

have a look on this nice little tool. You can download it or use it online.

"MLME-My Little Markup Editor"

It could be helpful.
