Most browser based WYSIWYG editors I've ever tried allow you to implement them with only a little bit of javascript so you shouldn't need any customization outside of adding the proper proper javascript URLs to your model definitions. I just added TinyMCE to a page in the admin section for content editing, and after just a very little bit of fiddling it works nicely. See here for an example: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AddWYSIWYGEditor > After this, I'll probably need to make some changes in the admin zone, > s I have to rewrite some code.

Is there any other way? I don't know what the experts recommend, but from my own experience I've found that maintaining your own set of changes to a framework or application that you use is always a joy-sapping headache. What do you need to do that Django doesn't already provide for? -- -Ben --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
