Hello all, I am building a website for a client and they want to be able to edit the content on one of the pages, but they are not very web savvy. Is there anything like FCKeditor ([http://www.fckeditor.net/](http://www.fckeditor.net/)) that works with Ruby? If not, I will have to build the site in PHP (ugh). Thanks, (pixel)Nate ---

Here’s one that you can use without jumping through a bunch of hoops [http://www.underpantsgnome.com/projects/fckeditor-on-rails](http://www.underpantsgnome.com/projects/fckeditor-on-rails) it still could use a little work and it may be getting turned into a plugin shortly.

FCKeditor doesn’t care what language your serverside code is in. I use it on multiple sites with no problems. What issue are you encountering? Kirk H. ---

Excellent. This is exactly the kind of thing I am looking for. Well, I was under the impression that there might be a solution that was all Ruby, beginning to end, but this will be perfect for what I want to use it for. > Disclaimer: I built it So I know who to track down when I have a problem. ;^) ~Nate
