The WYSIWYG API module allows to users of your drupal site to use many different WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Web browser based editors for editing content. This module is the up and coming WYSIWYG module and has overtaken other modules of this type. This module depends on other modules and third-party editor libraries (often based on JavaScript). Libraries like SpellCheck or modules like IMCE Wysiwyg bridge and Insert. Follows is my generic set up for WYSIWYG editor Setup using TinyMCE and Spellcheck including adding additional input formats:

So if you are new to Drupal and it's terminology you may look around and wonder "what are all these image support options for Drupal?" Have you started with one and switched to another as you define your use cases? I have. Well, following are three basic starting points for image support w/ Drupal that I see:

    So you want to know how to allow a client or staff member to edit HTML content via a WYSIWYG editor w/ integrated and easy to use image support? We do this with Wysiwyg API, IMCE & IMCE Wysiwyg API bridge modules. The IMCE Wysiwyg API bridge module is a support module to bridge between IMCE image upload/browsing capability and Wysiwyg editors, so have them both installed and working first. Following are my quick notes to provide Drupal users a WYSIWYG editor with image support:

    The IMCE module is an image/file uploader and browser that supports personal directories and quotas. IMCE can be used alone or integrated w/ WYSIWYG editors and other web applications (ie. FCKEditor, TinyMCE, WYMEditor, Whizzywig, BUEditor, & Wysiwyg API via the IMCE Wysiwyg API bridge module).

    Zen theme & sub themes for Drupal

    If you are building your own standards-compliant theme for Drupal, start with the Zen theme. Its an easy and clean theme with great documentation both included and available online. It has the support of a large community of developers and users. The Zen theme is meant to be a very flexible standards-compliant and semantically correct XHTML theme that can be easily modified through CSS and Drupal’s template system. I have found it works well alongside the CSS Injector module.

    These are quick instructions to allow a specific user Role (ie: client/staff/designer) to manage a web based SlideShow using Drupal. This SlideShow setup can be used; either for a specific number of SlideShow nodes to be edited by the user, or a SlideShow content type to be managed by the user. This setup is tested on Drupal 6 w/ GD2 using the Content Construction Kit (CCK), FileField, ImageField, ImageAPI w/ ImageAPI GD2, ImageCache & Thickbox modules.
