No editor
If 'No editor' is selected for a User, then a simple text editor displays. This allows you to enter in raw,
unformatted HTML. You can use the toolbar 'Preview' button to preview how the HTML will display.
Note that the 'No Editor' option can be useful if you are entering in 'boilerplate' or custom HTML, for
example to create a PayPal link. TinyMCE automatically re-formats and strips some HTML when a file is
saved. This can cause complex HTML to not work correctly.
If this happens, you can temporarily change the editor to 'No Editor' and create the desired content. Note
that if you wish to edit this content in the future, you should be careful to change your editor to 'No Editor'.
Otherwise, if you open and save the content with TinyMCE, you may lose your custom HTML.
Image Button
An Image button is located just below the edit window, as shown below:
· Image. This button provides an easy way to insert an image into an Article. Images may be inserted
from the 'images/stories' folder and may also be uploaded. When you click the Image button, a
window pops up, as shown below:
o Directory. The current directory on the host server. This is the 'images/stories' directory
under your Joomla! home directory. Use the drop-down list box to select a subdirectory.
o Up. Navigate to the parent directory. Note that the top directory for this function is
'images/stories'. You can not navigate to a higher directory.
o Insert. Insert the selected image. The insert point will be the current cursor position. You
will see the image display inside the edit window.
o Cancel. Cancel the operation and close the popup window.
o Thumbnail Browse Area. Click on an image thumbnail to select the image. Click on a
folder icon to navigate to that subdirectory.
