Customizing the WYSIWYG

Recite CMS uses an advanced web-based WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor called CKeditor. This editor makes creation of HTML code simple with its point-and-click interface.

Using this editor, you can easily update the content on your web site through your web browser. Additionally, you can easily link to other pages in your web site or files uploaded via the Recite CMS Control Panel.

This chapter covers basic usage of CKeditor, including a summary of all toolbar buttons, how to upload files through the WYSIWYG, and how to link to existing files or pages in your site.

Tip

Although this chapter covers how to use CKeditor, you may find additional resources at its official web site http://ckeditor.com.

Accessing the WYSIWYG

The WYSIWYG is available in several different areas of Recite CMS. It is primarily available when editing content blocks for pages in your site, but may also be available for other tasks such as creating new calendar events.

It is possible to edit page content blocks from both the Control Panel as well as when viewing your site in "Administration Mode". The WYSIWYG works the same in both the front-end and the Control Panel.

When you open the WYSIWYG it will appear in a dialog box.
