• TinyMCE
• HTML Purifier

Since this RC release adds a more advanced editor to our application, additional bugs may arise, however, we are sure any bugs regarding the editor will be addressed in a quick and efficient manner.

Thank You!!

This products appeal and useability has just taken a giant leap forward.

I wasn't even aware of the existense of TinyMCE until this release of Zoints. From what I've learned so far about TinyMCE, the Zoints team made a very clever choice when they decided to incorporate the editor into Zoints Local. The basic formatting controls work great. I'd like more formatting controls, but I'm way too happy to ask for them now because I know you guys must have put in a lot of hours to get this functionality.

For those of you that have not yet taken the time to get familiar with TinyMCE, it is a Java, cross platform, open source html editor with a wysiwyg user interface. It is well supported and there are quite a few third party plugins available for the editor. I'm anticipating some exciting new editing features in the future. Your vBulletin BB code is not going to work in this editor, but trust me, your users won't care one bit. Neither will you when you find out how feature rich the TinyMCE editor can become. Your users will be able to format documents in ways that would never be possible with the vBulletin editor.


Thanks again to the entire Zoints team for this upgraded functionality..... absolutely, positively, outstanding work! You have just taken Zoints Local to the next level.

Now..... how do I add the Youtube plugin? (Maybe not that one in particular. I see several on SourceForge)
