Rich Text editor for Components? - beggin - 2012-08-13

Hi,

I'm creating a website for a client and have the sidebar as a component. However, you can only edit components in pure HTML which is not very user friendly.

Is there a plugin or feature that I can enable that will show a rich text editor instead, similar to the one used when creating pages?

Thanks.

If you need to include a html content in a fixed place, use pages instead of components.
You will easily find how to do it on forums, as there are couple methods.

Other solution is to use f.e. firefox with xinha/text area plugins.

GS does not support the editor for components, could be a good suggestion for coming releases ;=)

But you can always add an editor as addon for your browser,. so you have to click into text-area and you will get CKEditor, see here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/write-area/

Brilliant. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I was unaware you could include pages within pages, I will definitely check that out. I did a quick search but I couldn't find any threads. Any chance you could give me a link?

Also the browser addon is great suggestion. I will give that a try.

Cheers!

Create a page "sidebar".
Paste this code into a template <?php getPageContent('sidebar'); ?>
