Hi Folks, (PLease note: I have posted this into a TinyMCE Thread and the Useability Feedback Forum as well. I would like to stay with Drupal if I can:-)
Yes, be very afraid, I am a newbie :-P; Please set your 'discriminator-guns' to stun only :-) Drupal as of yesterday, CMS as of last week.
I am in one of those feature gaps. I started with Mambo, then went to Joomla which for some reason worked better than Mambo (could only be the spelling). But Joomla did not provide the level of stable integrated user communication that Drupal does. eg real Blogging.
I liked the look of Joomla but quite complex for new users. But it did have TinyMCE built in with an optional JCE WysisWYG Editor; both of which worked exceptionally well and gave as good control over formatting and presentation as I wanted.
In my new Drupal site, I have tried 2 versions of TinyMCE (4.7 & CVS Releases). I am using the META-THEMES PACK (Set to Black), which I like very much and it has not misbehaved that I am aware of.
THE PROBLEM - THERE IS NO FORMATTING IN THE FINAL OUTPUT OF EITHER VERSIONS OF TinyMCE. It's fine while I am editing, but the output is CRAP!
Now I know some of you have this Editor working just fine. Can anyone assist?
MY DILEMMA! I seem to be heading inexorably to one of those Trade-Off Decisions that everyone faces but most do not like. In all honesty I much prefer working with Drupal...It's cleaner more stable, straight forward and has all the functionalilty I need. It just lacks presentability at this point. This is enough of a problem for me to send me back to Joomla unless I am able to get this TinyMCE thing working.
