Insert / Update with the RTE editor

This tutorial will desribe how to build an Insert / Update page using the RTE editor

The RTE editor allows you to give users the ability to enter text into a wordpad-like editor and then this data gets saved to a database in HTML format.

This is a BETA extension and an open-source project, there are a team of dedicated people, or in my case (bored geek) working on this project all the time to improve it.

For details on this project head on over to http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/richtext

For a tester of what it looks like, head here http://www.hammersmithresearch.com/rtetest

Lets get started:

Contents

1. Installing and options

2. Adding Fields

3. Insert

4. Update

Hope you enjoy it, get some coffee and cigarettes ready.

Thanks for the compliment, at present I am trying to find a good, free, asp only upload script, php is easily doable, but I want to integrate both asp and php upload into the editor, currently I am having no luck finding an asp script to do the upload.

Question about other fields

July 30, 2002 by Tolu Ayoola

I was just wondering if it is possible to use other form fields such as radio buttons, check boxes, and file fields in the RTE editor. By the way, this extension is awesome. thanks

RE: Question about other fields

July 30, 2002 by Bill Chalmers

That is what I am working on currently, adding different types of fields to the editor, I will update the extension when I have developed this, you can of course use different types outside of the editor, just not embedded currently.
