CMS - Looking for something specific

I am of the opinion that most CMS's are giving people too much control. While in some cases that's great for people who haven't the foggiest what they're doing, in others it is not ideal.

I am looking for a CMS with the option of removing some of the control the WYSIWYG editors permit in the content formatting. Basically I only want bold, italic, underline, align, headers, insert link and insert image available.

I took a look at Joomla and while they have some amazing add-ons, I received no response to a post I made asking about this matter. I also dislike their term "Articles" for pages in the Admin panel and this would need changed as well.

Any thoughts?

Hi Stephanie,
I think this has exactly what you need
http://www.openwebware.com/

It has a basic function once you've installed it...

If you need any help,
Let me know.
Thanks,
Andy

Thank you. It's a nice little editor, but not what I need. The editor still has too many options and it's not really a CMS. There's evidently no Administrative Panel and no add-on modules? It's just a WYSIWYG editor?

Ah, apologies, I mis-read your request, I thought you were looking for a change in the inline editor.

To be honest, a lot of CMS system's that you'll find on the market/open sourced are going to have the features packed on to them, this makes it useable for everyone, I design my own CMS systems based on this.

Thanks,
Andy

I am looking to change the stock editor I guess. I don't want it to have all of those text formatting options. Is there a way to remove them?

Find a CMS that either uses the tinyMCE as a WYSIWYG, or allows you to choose tinyMCE as an editor, then configure it yourself. It is easy to configure:

http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/simple.php

(a simple, bare-bones example, and you can make it even simpler if you like).

Yes! That's very close to what I want! I believe Joomla has the option of using this editor as well. But how easy is it to configure?

I have always used WordPress. There are thousands of plugins, so you can change almost everything with very little work. And it's not too hard to go in manually and modify it yourself. Not to mention that it uses tinyMCE as well.

Tell me what you choose!

Yeah, my personal recommendation would be to just go to rentacoder (if you can't do it yourself) and pay someone a few bucks to eliminate those options from you WYSIWYG editor. It's easier to remove, than to add and shouldn't cost much to get it done.

OR you can just ask some of the people on the forum to help you with it.

Assuming I went with WordPress, how do I remove and rearrange the icons in the editor?

Specifically I'm looking to remove:
  • Paragraph
  • Text Color
  • Insert More
  • Toggle Fullscreen
