Re: TinyMCE - is it secure?

I can't comment on its overall security, but I do know that one important thing to do for blocking abuse is to disable any file-upload capability used by any such editor/addon.

Perhaps others can comment on other matters related to its security.

Re: TinyMCE - is it secure?

You mean from the computer to the editor on the main screen/ezpage admin? That would make the editor not work to upload files from my computer or reference pics on the server?

Or in the php file system? where you could still load pics from the computer to the server and use them on the ez pages ect?

(referencing urls is kinda a pain)

Thanks for the reply! =)

Re: TinyMCE - is it secure?

Yes, I was referring to having the editor allow you to upload files via the editor screen while in your admin.

It's safer to use FTP to upload your own images, and simply refer to them in the HTML you write in your pages.
