Hi,
I would like to have another plain text editor instead of WYSIWYG (FCKeditor).
Possible to add this option?
Thank you.
Regards,

the fckeditor has murdered several of my scripts, a plain WYSINAWYG (What You See Is Not Always What You Get  ) text would be nice as an option |

May I suggest TextPad. It has highlighting for various styles of codes, and it brings a simple java debugger.

Not right away, requests are reviewed, most likely voted, then applied.

I agree that for most purposes now, the editor needs to support php and just text without corrupting it.

Could someone explain the above in very simple terms for someone who is not as tech-savvy as the rest of you? LOL ~ If the editor has been troublesome I need alternatives. Haven't tried it yet, just been really busy uploading material and have not used the editor here. Previewing our pages here as we work on them shouldn't have to be a nightmare...  |

The File Manager editor is primarily intended as a WYSIWYG editor for web pages or by using the source button, for making changes to the html source code / tags. If you want to do anymore than this (e.g. php), it is advisable to find an alternative, as it has numerous quirks, including: - stripping out escape characters
- reformating code (fine for html but can be a pain with php)
- inserting code (e.g. adding closing tags, again fine for html but can screw up php)
- Ensuring code is surrounded by <html> tags (problem if you need to code php that needs to send headers etc)
There are ways around this, one of which is the hack described above to circumvent the reformatting, however if you forget to use it, it will screw up the code! If you're still interested, let me know and I'll add a description about using it. General recommendation here seems to be to use notepad or one of its variations, assuming you're not using some sort of document composer. |

I agree, i am coding a game in Javascript and pure html 5 and it's adding all sorts of unnecessary markup that is causing my game to crash with syntax errors. In all honesty this is the only thing preventing me from enjoying the service.

May I suggest just using your own editor and uploading it via Filezilla?
if it comes down to it though you could easily code your own editor in PHP using filewrite functions, don't forget to password protect it though lol

No you can't as it's against the tos to upload your own "file manager" to you web space as it posses a security threat. Also it's much easier to edit your scripts online and refresh the page then it is to edit one line of code offline, ftp it to the web space, refresh the page and repreat the whole process all over again. |

No, it's against the TOS to let others upload things through your file manager.
