Please login to the Live Demo to see, and use, the full set of WYSIWYG tools.
In addition to the standard set of WYSIWYG tools, EditWrx has the following features:
Easily Re-Brandable »
The only branding in the program is the generic logo That image (brand.png) may be changed with your own 125x60 image.
Easy Demo Mode »
If you want to run an installation in Demo Mode (no changes can be made by editing) just add demo=1; to the edit.cgi file above the ############## line.
Block type editing »
EditWrx can be setup to edit full pages or only parts of pages. Editblocks must be coded into pages to edit only parts of pages. Example:
<DIV class="editblock-one">
Content to edit
</DIV><!--"editblock-one" -->
You can have multiple editblocks on a page. The class name must begin with editblock- and be unique (editblock-two, editblock-three, etc.). The class name must be in a comment following the close div or span tag.
If you have multiple users editing a page you can specify which users can edit particular blocks by using a userblock instead of an editblock. Example:
<DIV class="userblock-mike,cindy">
Content that users mike and cindy can edit
</DIV><!--"userblock-mike,cindy" -->
Alternately, sections of pages can be protected from editing by using excludeblocks. Example:
<DIV class="excludeblock-one">
Content to exclude from editing
</DIV><!--"excludeblock-one" -->
An excludeblock can actually be placed inside of an editblock - but an editblock can not be placed inside of an excludeblock.
You can even write an edit on a page to an included file (SSI, PHP, ASP) using an includeblock. Example:
<DIV class="includeblock-/nav.shtml">
<!--#include virtual="/nav.shtml" -->
</DIV>The path to the included file in the includeblock class must begin with a slash and leads from the domain's root folder to the file.
If more convenient, the above classes may be declared as ids instead (id="editblock-one", id="excludeblock-one", etc)
6 types of users »
- User can edit any page on the website
- User can edit any page on the website - if the page contains editblock(s)

- User can edit pages only within a specific folder tree
- User can edit pages only within a specific folder tree- if the page contains editblock(s)
Login directly from the page »
Users can login to EditWrx directly from the page or from the EditWrx cgi script. To add the Login Prompt to a page an external JavaScript tag must be added to the <HEAD> section of the page. Example:
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" src="/editor/edit.cgi?prompt"></script>
HTML tags or Styles for formatting content »
On a per user basis you can decide whether to use HTML tags for font formatting with the  tool, or use Styles type formatting using the  tool. Different browsers insert different HTML tags for formatting, so it is best to use Style type formatting if more than one type of browser will be editing a page.
Color usage control »
Most wysiwyg editors are proud of the robustness of their color picker for coloring text, table cells, etc. EditWrx's proprietary ColorPad  tool is no exception. However, allowing users to color-up a page with every color in the rainbow can produce some really ugly pages. EditWrx therefore allows the "admin" to create a list of approved site-wide colors, and then limit a user to only those colors.
Functioning Forms w/Captcha »
Thumbnail/Gallery creation »
EditWrx can resize images to produce thumbnails for:
the thumbnail opens a full sized image overlay on the page
the thumbnail opens a rotating gallery of full sized images in an overlay on the page
multiple thumbnails in a grid layout open full sized image overlays on the page
Type 3 can produce the thumbnails only if your server has the Image::Magick or the LWP::Simple program installed. Type 1 & 2 will use the Image::Magick program if you have it installed, otherwise the image is uploaded to a blind domain, resized, and downloaded back to your domain.
Imagemagick installs on Windows just like any other application. On Unix, it must be installed by superuser using YUM - yum install ImageMagick, yum-install ImageMagick-perl.
Site Search »
The  tool can create a search field on your webpage that will allow visitors to search your website. The search crawls the actual pages live-time for matches. The search results are displayed right on the page in an overlay. Try the Site Search  in the upper left cornor of this page - use the word " widget".
Since the Site Search crawls pages live-time you can prohibit searches in specific folders and search only specific file extensions. The Site Search should be limited to less that 100 page searches. The EditWrx Site Search is the same program as Search Widget Pro.
Video Convert/Embed »
The  tool can upload avi, mpg, mpeg, mov or wmv movies and convert them to flv flash files, then embed the flv into a page to be played in the popular FlowPlayer. The movie to flash conversion takes place automatically in the background on the movietoflash.com domain. You can convert up to 50 movies per month free of charge. If you need to embed more than 50 videos per month, or have more control over the resulting video, use software such as Riva or free online conversion at sites such as http://flvencoder.com/. Videos in flv format that are uploaded with the  tool are not converted or resized, but thumbnails are extracted. Uploaded flv files do not count against the 50/mo quota at movietoflash.com.
The  tool can insert a thumbnail (or multiple thumbnails) that open the video(s) in the FlowPlayer in an overlay on the page, or embed the video directly into the page.

Author-Publisher »
Author: This tool allows the user to leave comments for content to be added and content to be deleted. This user can not save edits to the file that is active on the website. Files saved by this user are saved with "_pending" as the end of the file name. Although this user may be limited to editing only a list of files, this user can re-edit those file's "_pending" files also. This user's edits can be reviewed and published to the original file by an assigned Publisher. If the Publisher's profile contains an email address, an email notice is sent to the Publisher when this user saves an edit.
Publisher: This tool allows the user to leave comments for content to be added and content to be deleted or to delete the comments. This user can publish "_pending" edits made by an Author or re-save the "_pending" file. If the Author of the file has an email address in their profile an email notice is sent to the Author if this user saves to the "_pending" file. When this user saves the "_pending" file to the original file the edits become active and published to the website. The widget will load the changelog for this Publisher listing all "_pending" files awaiting publishing by this user.
