I am needing to replace the default HTML editor that comes with WSS 3.0 by CKEditor to edit web parts.
I read about adding a new content type but I am working on a limited shared host.
Thank you very much for your help.
FYI -it seems you need access to the 12 hive folder to integrate CKEditor with WSS 3.0. Because we are running our site on shared hosting, we do not have access to this folder. So we decided to switch to SharePoint Foundation 2010 (WSS 4.0), which comes with a complete HTML editor (e.g. image uploading, CSS styles, etc.) Thank you.
I know this question is 4 months old, but for anyone looking for an answer, here it is: CKEditor for SharePoint
Easy to install and upgrade, compatible with SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010. CKFinder is included.
Fully functional 30 days trial version is available.

I am having a problem with Domino Designer and, to be honest, am not sure if the question belongs here or not...
When I create a new XPage, then drag the Single Page Application from the Mobile panel to the XPage I am not getting the Wizard?
I am using Designer 9.0.1, have installed the current OpenNTF ExtLib (901v00_03.20140120-0650) from OpenNTF and made sure that the correct version is referenced on both the Server (using the tell http osgi ss com.ibm.xsp.extlib command) and in Designer (About / Designer / Plug-in Details).
Does anybody have an idea what I am doing incorrectly?
Thanking you in advance

The Extension Library release comes with a couple of updateSite zips inside of it:
updateSiteOpenNTF.zip
updateSiteOpenNTF-designer.zip
updateSiteOpenTNTFExtended.zip
updateSiteOpenNTFSamples.zip
Be sure you are using the updateSiteOpenNTF-designer.zip, and not the standard updateSiteOpenNTF.zip. The designer zip, as the name suggests, contains the extlib content specifically for Designer, such as the Single App Wizard, as well as the rest of the extlib plugins that come in the first zip file listed above.
Could someone point out the differences between Sharepoint Designer and the new Design Manager within Sharepoint 2013 ? I searched on the web but haven't found a concrete answer.
Thanks !
1) SPD can still be used to edit SharePoint pages, but the visual Design view and Split view were removed so you need to do all your editing in a code view. You can also still use it for the other things you mentioned.
2) Design Manager is free and included with SharePoint Server. It only works on Publishing sites so its not included with Foundation.
3) Its part of the base installation of the product. You don't need to do anything to procure it.
4) Not really. Design manager provides functionality for Importing/Exporting HTML and CSS that can be edited in any Web Design platform. For example Dream Weaver. Since SPD no longer has a WYSIWYG editor there is not real connection between the two.
5) Most of the customization you've already done will be brought across when you do a content database upgrade. I'm sure there will be some things that need to be upgraded after you do the database attach.
One of my clients has migrated all its teamsites from SP 2007 to SP 2010. They kept most of the sites in 2007 compatibility view though. One of the sites that I customized 2 years ago is not working properly. The javascript code has error and they cannot edit most of the webparts content.
I tried to troubleshoot the site in my farm. However, I face more issues because the teamsite I created is not in 2007 compatibility view. (Ribbon, ajax, etc.)
Is there a way to create a site in 2007 compatibility view from scratch?
No, there isn't, unless you want to spend A LOT of time and effort, which is better spent debugging.
Is the new farm running in a different domain?
i have a wss 3.0 site up and running using forms based authentication. Is there a way to upload multiple files (basically copy and paste a folder containing files)?
also, when i try to access the site using designer 2007, i can't access the site and it asks me to install sharepoint services or frontpage extensions. how can i modify the site using designer?
I know that in designer that the functionality exists to copy/paste a folder.
Thank you!
Regarding your first question, see this on Stack Overflow. Essentially, it's by design and Microsoft don't give you that functionality. You could try turning on Client Integration but I don't know if it will work. If you need an alternative, searching around I found UploadZen which seems to support multiple uploads with FBA.
Are you also using forms auth with SharePoint Designer? The bottom of this blog post from Mike Hatch has information that might help you.
Try out installing the SP2 for the SharePoint 2007 and the office Application. In the Office application they have solved may of the issue that were part of FBA enabled sites. Please refer to this for more information.
Does any one know if there is a ASP.NET website available that is a pretty good clone of the style and layout of a SharePoint site? I don't need the functionality of SharePoint, I would like to be able to quickly mock up some controls for SharePoint, with out having to actually deploy stuff to the server, and want to be able to see what the controls would look like rendered in SharePoint.
Make sense?
If there is nothing available I'm just going to do a "save complete" with FireFox on my SharePoint site, and convert the results into a master page that I can use. If someone else has already done the work, that would be fantastic.
Heather Solomon has an excellent SharePoint CSS Cheat Sheet. Also, if you use sharepoint native controls like the SPGridView, most of the styling will be inherited / already implemented for you.
Your 'Save Complete' idea is the one I would suggest. You could also have some sort of bookmarklet/script that receives a html page url and injects it into the sharepoint page without actually changing it, but it is way more complicated.
My advice would be to use SharePoint Designer to play with the design and to use Features for deploying the customizations. Your question is pretty vague in that I can't tell if you have access to a VM to do a test install? Also, are we talking WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007 or the latest version? Is it a publishing site? What kind of controls are you working on? Web Parts?
