    I like "Freditor" lol

    Even better..."FriCKenEditor!"

      I think the original point was if FCKEditor is being used as the default editor and when the typical user of the mass or someone is trying to sell pitch to their user to use Modx then they would have a not so easy time to pronounce FCKEditor.

      So in my opinion if we make FCKeditor as an option but not the default then the point of change the editor name would be not nescessary.

      Just my 2 cents!

        Hi,

        FREDITOR, the optimized Fortran editor

        I like : Moditor

        And I m agree with chanh, FCKEditor is one of the best editor. If we will be able to use of another editor, rename FCK would be not nescessary.

        • I honestly think it’s a bit presumptous to change another author’s work. We have alternate RTEs available, and their names won’t affend anyone. That should solve it.

            ...considering where MODx comes from wink
            Anyway, That’s what the GPL and LGPL is for. The freedom to use and change the software to suit yourself.

              No one is changing the name of the Editor. We would only be changing the name of the MODx plugin

                Yes, we were forced out ... the entire thread in the forum about the then-mod deleted without so much as a courtesy warning. Quite a different situation.

                  • Just because you can change something doesn’t necessarily mean you should. I wouldn’t go putting a Ford Pinto name badge on a Ferrari, for example. wink (actually, that would be pretty funny!)

                    I don’t mind referring to the plugin as the default editor though.
