Just wondering if anyone has used FCKEditor (http://www.fckeditor.net/).
If so, how does it stack up to HTMLArea and would it be a vialble replacement? AFAIK, HTMLArea is unusable for various reasons (all over the forums). HTMLArea seems to be unspported as well. This is not the case with FCKEditor.

Apropos replacement.
Is it possible to use pn_bbcode for pagesetter's input forms? I think the formatting options provided by this hook (as demonstrated in this forum) are completely sufficient for many scenarios.
As far as i can see, the problem is, that input forms are built with xml and not with pnRender templates.
But still... is there a way to get the buttons under the input forms and if not, does it sound like a feature that will be implemented at some point?

I'd love to see pagesetter move to pnRender for the input forms. Guppy, as far as I've been able to tell is neither flexible enough nor user-friendly enough to make it easy for the end user to create custom form layouts. I really don't see the value in the XML/Guppy over pnRender .

I'm in agreement with halbrooktech. Guppy uses alot of javascript and is not to flexible. It should be a seperate form handler module, while pagesetter should have front-end pnRender and API logic only. The pnRender piece could use one or more templates per form. These pnRender templates could just be samples from publication types. The forms could use third party javascript validation (parts of Guppy, but not Guppy), etc..

For last few days (and nights) I'm trying to get the guppy/xinha to work (the whole window with htmlareas is way to big) with no luck. If it was pnRender'd I would done it 100 times already.
So for me the best guppy is dead guppy.
Kind regards,
Raul

Raul, maybe this thread will help you.
Try editing the width for html
Code
// html
array
(
'fieldKind' => 'input',
'fieldType' => 'string',
'layoutKind' => 'input',
'view' => 'html',
'width' => '600',
'height' => '300',
'sqlType' => 'MEDIUMTEXT'
),
Returning to this thread's subject: I really don't mind guppy.
Thinking of input plugins provided by other users, people with some programming skills seem to be able to do cool stuff with it.
But a smaller alternative to htmlarea, which, speaking of pn_bbcode, already exists and "just" needs to be fully implemented (with all formatting options as in this forum) would be fantastic.
