[Solar-talk] Image Captchas and RTE's

[Rodrigo Moraes]

I will need some helpers very soon and before I start something would
like to ask for ideas and suggestions for their implementations:

- Image Captchas: integrate image captchas to the form helpers (a db
table will be required);
- Rich Text Editors: (I don't like them, but users like, so...). I
want to plug a rich editor somehow to the form helpers; maybe I'll
have to use rte's in a separate way. To start I plan to tweak a
non-rich editor: Alex King's QuickTags [1]; but something like Dojo's
RTE or TinyMCE [3] may be on the way. I have used TinyMCE and
FCKEditor [4] before, but not Dojo's one. These are the ones I think
are worth mentioning; would you add any other to the list? And do you
have a favorite one?

I like Dojo's philosophy and so I thought no matter which RTE is used
a good idea would be to use Tidy to clean the html before saving to
the db. I have never used Tidy for this however, and always saved the
dirty html rte's produce. Anyone used Tidy before for this?

cheers,
rodrigo
