Magento WYSIWYG Editor
For web designers and developers having to train customers to use ecommerce systems such as Magento, it often becomes clear that their ability to carry out simple actions in the admin panel suffers due to lack of computer skills. Therefore any extra help can be a great boost.
The WYSIWYG editor extension for Magento makes it much easier for customers adding products to write more detailed and customised descriptions, as well as create their very own CMS pages. The alternative is HTML code which the customer 99% of the time, will have no experience of.
The editor can be in TinyMCE, FCKeditor and CKeditor formats – all of which provide n interface similar to that of MS Word, something that many customers would be familiar with.
Another nice touch is that ability to apply the editor to any number of custom attributes that require text input in the admin panel. This can be specified in Configuration > WYSIWYG Editors. It can also be removed from use in any areas that you specify – for example I turned off its use on static block pages as it felt unnecessary.
Ultimately, the editor is very easy to install, can be applied wherever needed and is very useful for inexperienced users – so it comes with my full recommendation.
