How to Replace Default Plain Text Editor

Hi,
By default there is only one editor which is very ordinary, I don't think now a days only plain text editing is enough.
Please guide how to add any other editor, which directly supports HTML or rich text.

Thanks

Re: How to Replace Default Plain Text Editor

I have installed it in 1.5.6C without any issues... Did you see to enabling it?

Re: How to Replace Default Plain Text Editor

Did you manage to get this working?
I have v1.5.6c and have installed this CKEditor, enabled it, logged out and back in with Admin but no luck with it working.
Kind Regards

Re: How to Replace Default Plain Text Editor

Look for a dropdown that says "Text Editor" in the top of your admin below the gray menu bar, and click it to change the value to "CKEditor".

Under
Admin > Configuration >HTML Editor
CKEditor is selected

Under
Admin >Tools > Define Page Editor
Drop Down Menu has CKEditor selected

This was done before I posted in the thread for help.
Something is missing somewhere :unsure::dontgetit

Re: How to Replace Default Plain Text Editor

If you have a very old version of the plugin installed, you'll need to updated it because the very very old version of it relied on a google javascript thing that is no longer available since last month.

Re: How to Replace Default Plain Text Editor

Then most likely you have javascript errors on the page which are preventing the javascript from running properly.
You may need to use your browser's "developer tools" to look at console errors in order to troubleshoot your situation.
