Wysiwyg + CKEditor Screencast
If you like this screencast, you can show it by pitching in to a special fundraising effort. (And here's why.)
Drupal website developers are often called upon to help website users easily format text when they create new pages or nodes. HTML is the preferred way to format text but users don't always have proficiency with the markup language and sometimes prefer to have an interface that formats their HTML language for them - not unlike the formatting buttons in Microsoft Word.
This screencast covers one method of adding easy HTML formatting to your Drupal website with the Wysiwyg module and the open source editor tool called CKEditor. To make the best use of this screencast, you should have basic knowledge of Drupal 7 site configuration including how to create content and edit content and how to install new modules.

there are some bug with drupal 7.12+wysiwyg+tinymce3.5
1. when i change text format from tinymce to other, the textarea in body not change. still be tinymce.
2. when i click on disable rich-text, nothing happen. and when i click on enable rich-text there are more same buttons appears on tinymce toolbar.
It truly is the bomb. Does not work. Now I have NO ABILITY to edit at all. It destroys the edit block altogether.
This video needs to be updated. This editor does NOT work as described in the video.
Configure editor does show up in the the WYSIWYG config.
Everything seems to go according to plan. BUT is does not work and destroys the ability to edit anything on a page or an article.
There is no date on the video so it must be way out of date.
Please note that the display of CKEditor can be sensitive to other settings.
At least to the setting 'Add scripts to bottom of the page'. (An extra setting of the Zentropy-theme.)
If enabled, CKEDitor will not be available in an edit-mode of a node, even though all WYSIWYG settings are configured correctly.
If disabled, CKEditor works as it should.
Well, great screencast. I used it to check I had done all the steps to enable the editor. I did...but no editor shows up.
Thank's Sean... a big help! Cheers, John W.
"FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this). "
That is what is displayed instead of the screencast :(
Firefox 8, Win 7. Happens on every video on your site.
Hi, Thanks for the vid.
When I choose the font style, or size it makes the change in the wisiwig view but after I hit save the change is NOT visible. What am I missing?
Thanks
Thank you! Your videos are concise and easy to follow.
Thanks for that. I was expecting to see the editor options here in this comment box. That would have really topped it off!
I think that it is really great video tutorial. Thank you :)
Thanx for the clear explanation. No i can get started integrating an WYSIWYG editor into my Drupal project.
And great music!!!
Great tutorial. Please add more, I like to see one about drush

Thanks a lot for the video, it makes us beginners to learn much faster and easier. Thanks again! :)
Small typo in the title "Text Formatting is the Bomb" should be "Text Formatting is Da Bomb".
Thanks for the tutorial :)

Thank you for this great video
I have a question to ask
I have enabled CKEditor in my Drupal7, but it is not enabled by default for custom fields like textarea.
I would be very thankful if you can suggest any thing that would help in displaying CKEditor for custom fields in Drupal7.
Thanks in advance
Great job Sean! I followed along in a separate browser window, and it worked flawlessly. I would like to see a good solution for including inline images into the text area. That seems to be the missing link to making Drupal editing more user friendly like the Wordpress editor.
Best regards,
Richard Gandy
very cool. i tried it with drupal 7 and ckeditor 3.6 and there was a little problem, but it was easily fixed.
So glad I found your screencasts! They have been such a huge help. Thanks!
Can you tell me what advantages there are with using the CKEditor library in conjunction with the WYSIWIG module as apposed to using the CKEditor module specifically in performance (server and browser load), quality of markup, and compatability with other modules and scripts?
Great question! I would love to know the answer.
As always your presentation was great. Thank you.
Thanks for the great videos! Very useful introduction to Drupal 7. I was wondering about your choice of CKEditor among all the options you have with the WYSIWIG module. Do you have a strong preference for this over the others? (In particular I'm wondering how it compares to TinyMCE.)
Thanks again!
Many thanks Sean
Very helpful, thanks dude!
