Answered How do I install TinyMCE and other noob questions...

I am a noob with MODX (started today); as such, I'm having a hell-of-a-time getting started. I am currently looking at Bob's Guides trying to follow them, but just can't seem to get my head around it. I am looking for a Tutorial series on getting started and some docs to tell me how to install the TinyMCE plug-in. Also, is there a forum for noobs? (couldn't find one).

Thank you for responding... what would you recommend for an editor then?

I do everything via Zend and paste it in.

This may help you, but I do not believe it handles all of the issues I mentioned. At least it didn't a month ago as my wife likes TinyMCE and trashed to pages on a fresh install of Revolution and TinyMCE.

Try it and see if it will work for you.

I've started using Redactor on recently. It's a premium (paid) extra, and so far have been very happy with it. I like having the ability to add my own custom styles to be accessed from within the editor.

The new beta of the latest TinyMCE may be better, although it does still have some features missing.
