Just saw this module and I also love this WYSIWYG Editor. For another CMS System (Website Baker) I also did some research on how to implement this WYSIWYG editor succesfull.
The thing I am wondering about (as I have not installed CMS Made Simple) is the following:
Does your FCKEditor module works with the latest release of FCKEditor. As 2.0has been made final
Does the image/file browser which is available in FCKEditor works or do you need to do some customisation to get it working?
Another question about the FCKEditor module. I looked around on your testwebsite and the module is looking very nice. I love the way the how the 'Browse Server' for the Images and Files has been implemented.
Q: Would it also be possible to integrate (within the 'edit links') the possibility that you can browse the CMS Content - pages so you could insert links to other pages? I saw that a dropdown is available in FCKEditor which has choiced for: files, images, flash. Maybe it is possible to add 'pages' over there?
Edit: On this page (on fckeditor.net) it is possible to test how the file browser works. As you can see it works with XML. Would it be possible to also create an XML output of the pages within CMS Made Simple?
Q: I also saw that you implemented the option to choose a skin for FCKEditor. Would it also be possible to implement an option to choose a toolbar? Would it also be possible to give different users with other rights an additional toolbar with other features?

If you would like to make different styles available for the the FCKEditor you are using in CMS Made Simple you can best read the following wiki article: Developer's Guide/Configuration/Styles as this has a good explenation about working with custom styles. It is easy to integrate as the list is XML based.
Edit 1: If you would like to add a custom css you need to modify the fckeditorX.module.php which is available in the module folder for FCKEditor. Over there you should place (somewhere in the document) the following code:
Besides this you need (as described above) also to change the XML file which contains the styles listed.
Q for creator of the FCKEditor module: Would it also be possible (in response to the earlier suggestions/questions) to add the ability to modify the custom EditorCSS for FCKEditor through the module maintainance?
Edit 2: I did some more research about this functionality and read this topic on the FCKEditor forum. There you can find a 'CSS Parser' which will generate the XML file for FCKEditor based upon the CSS File. Maybe this is usefull (and maybe it could also be integrated in the FCKEditor Module configuration.)
Hope this information is usefull for you. Let us know if everything works!

I have looked into this a bit, because I would like to have a possibility that editors of the pages can make internal links to already created pages within the CMS. The first suggestion to integrate this in the 'Browse Server' is not the best way to implement this.
After looking a bit further it seems to be that a plugin needs to be created for FCKEditor (based upon this tutorial) and this plugin can e modified/created so that it will browse the CMS Made Simple database and generate a link to a specific page. Has anyone of you have ever created a plugin for FCKEditor and could help me out?

I am workin on last release of FCK, Styles and fast link.
Woudloper you did a very nice job on CMS link!!!
I am including it.
If you can get those 2 things working, I'll look into making it the default editor instead of TinyMCE. Image stuff would be good, as well, but I don't know much about FCKeditor to even comment on that.
