I had a problem with adding iframe into Joomla editor. Whenever I pasted the iframe link from Google map in the HTML view and returned to the editor, the iframe line was removed. In my search for answer to solve this, I stumbled a discussion in http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/forum/topic?f=17&t=14397 which discussed the same problem in JCE environment. JCE is Joomla content editor, an extensino to Joomla.
I decided to install JCE to give it a go. It solved the problem! Now, installing JCE is a bit tricky. The installation information is spread at different places. Here I’m putting together the steps to remind myself and help other people who may want to install JCE for the first time.
The steps to download the required components are
1. Goto http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads
2. Click the Administration Component link
3. Find com_jce_151.zip and download it (I’m using Joomla 1.5.2)
4. Go back to the download page
5. Click the Editor Plugin link
6. Find plg_jce_152.zip and download it
7. Go back to the download page
8. Click the Plugin link
9. Click the JCE 1.5.x link
10. Find jce_iframe_150.zip and download it
The installation steps are
1. Login to Joomla as admin
2. Goto Extensions -> Install/Uninstall menu
3. In Upload Package File section, browse to enter com_jce_151.zip. Then, click Upload File & Install
4. Afterwards, browse to enter plg_jce_152.zip and click Upload File & Install
5. Goto Components -> JCE Administration -> Install
6. In the Upload Package File section, browse to enter jce_iframe_150.zip and click Upload File & Install
7. Goto Site -> Global Configuration
8. Select Site
9. In Site Settings, change Default WYSIWYG Editor to “Editor – JCE 1.5.2″
When you edit an article, you will notice that the editor layout has changed.
