CMS Made Simple Forums

I'm a newbie to CMSMS (and to web development in general)
Here's what I'm trying to do:
    I want to setup web pages such that members can add content themselves through a wysywig editor like tinyMCE or FCKeditor (ie without going through the Admin panel).  Ideally this should be available only to logged-in users but I can't see how to get FrontEndUsers working and I can't see how to integrate tinyMCE into a page when I create it.  Can anyone explain this to me?

      I've been struggling with this for days.  I can see how to create web pages but I don't see at all how to get FrontEndUsers working and I don't see how to integrate tinyMCE into a page.

    Any help would be appreciated.

I am fairly new to CMSMS as well, but I think that tinyMCE should be installed as a default module. When I create a new page, the tinyMCE editor automatically loads -- and it has from the getgo. 

Anyway, try going to My Preferences (top menu) and then select User Preferences. The first options is 'Select WISYWIG to Use'. Make sure that tinyMCE is selected. I think that if this is selected, the tinyMCE editor should automatically run.

CMS Made simple is not a portal package.  It doesn't support (at the moment) inline editing, and doesn't support users editing only 'their own section of the site'.

You can create pages as an administrator, and allow only authorized people to login to the administration console and only edit certain pages, but they won't be able to add/delete pages.  If you give people the permission to add or delete pages they can add/delete any page.

But I can create users that have permissions to edit only certain areas of the page can't I - say a news column only?

What I need is to provide clients access rights (under login) to certain pages where they can use a WYSIWYG editor to update content. so what's the difference between a portal and CMSms? 

Sorry I'm obviously confused!  Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

Simplistically, a portal has a front end login that provides features and functions to a visitor of a website and a CMS has a back end login for managing the content and style of a website.

CMSMS's back end login is the /admin - Admin Login. You can create different user logins and give them some limitations on what they can do, such as News.

But that's doing it from the back end. Your description indicates you want visitors to do it from the front end. Calguy1000 is saying CMSMS does not work this way.
