Searching for a good WYSIWYG editor with file browser [closed]

Question

I'd like to start to make a terribly easy CMS, just to start again with the lovely PHP and keep my mind active :) The first thing that cross that mind was... a WYSIWYG editor!!

I remember the beautiful CKeditor, but I found on the net lots of people complaining on implementing this tool regarding his brother product CKFinder that is not free(? is that true ?). (Once I had some serious trouble implementing the *FCKeditor file browser into CKeditor... :| )

Now my question is what is the best (and possibly nice looking) Open-Source editor with a file browser to easily upload images, files, and retrieve them? ...and edit text of course! :)

Please suggest me. I have the feeling I'm browsing old stuff out there.

Answer 1

I've had great results using the combination of TinyMCE editor and the free elFinder file manager. There are instructions for integrating the two in the wiki on the elFinder site.

Answer 2

I have been looking for a combination of a free editor and filebrowser for a while now, but alas, no luck yet. In the end, I have written a plugin on top of TinyMCE which does exactly what I want and need it to do. So my advice is: invest some time in the TinyMCE or CKEditor API and write it yourself.

Should you still want to search for a free plugin, this page is a good starting point. Stay away from TinyBrowser though, it's not very secure. Good luck!
