WUSIWUG Browser

I was recently trying to fix a web site that was using TinyMCE as a WUSIWUG editor, but the support for file manage was a nightmare. It worked fine on Linux, but the server was on windows which made this a nearly impossible feat. I searched endlessly for a solution only to hit dead-ends, so instead I decided to look for a different implementation. That brought be to CKEditor and FCKEditor which can be found here.

I liked the look of CKEditor, but it was lacking the critical element, the file management capabilities. After scouring the web, I found a site that showed how to implement the FCKEditor file management capabilities into CKEditor, http://www.mixedwaves.com/2010/02/integrating-fckeditor-filemanager-in-ckeditor/, but unfortunately this did not work for me. Fortunately for me CKEditor still had their old version of FCKEditor. Working like a charm, I had the WUSIWUG editor up in no time with a functional file management system.
