Simple Drupal 6 WYSIWYG

Image removed.When building up a new Drupal 6 site now, we always download and enable the following modules to enable WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) edition:
  • wysiwyg
  • we download the ckeditor sources
  • imce
  • imce_wysiwyg
Then we:
  • enable wysiwyg, imce and imce_wysiwyg
  • put the ckeditor sources in sites/all/libraries/ckeditor (ckeditor.js must be callable as /sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/ckeditor.js)
  • fix (if needed) the wysiwyg module to detect ckeditor version 3.6 (see http://drupal.org/node/1143104)
  • go into imce configuration and check where to put the files (the default directory is OK for small sites)
  • go to wysiwyg profiles definition, select ckeditor for Full HTML profile
  • save and edit the Full HTML profile
  • check a few boxes in the "buttons" section, *including* IMCE
  • change the CSS to default editor CSS (otherwise sometimes you won't see a thing when you're editing)
  • save
Now if you edit or create any content that allows Full HTML (that can be defined in the content type), you should be allowed to use the images icon *and* to navigate the server files inside the image popup, through the "Server" button. Of course, most of these steps are made easier through the use of Drush.
