I've asked this question around the net and still haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. Basically I have several sites that I run through a custom PHP framework. I'd like to add a way for users to content management but all I really want is a simple interface that lets users click and edit (similar to Concrete5).

All they really need is.. well, pretty much what I'm writing this with. A way to format text. All of the links/framework, that sort of thing are taken care of by me or automated through scripting.

Is there a good foundation to build on? It seems a little unnecessary to re-build everything into a CMS like Wordpress or Concrete. I know exactly what's in my programming, I'd rather use it. I just want an easy way for clients to edit content.

Sounds to me your after a Inline WYSIWYG Editor, there happens to be many on the market that you can integrate into your current setup. Of course a content management system is better if you want to allow more than yourself using the engine.

Here's just a few to get you started:

  1. CKEditor
  2. TinyMCE
  3. Aloha Editor
  4. NicEdit
  5. Snippetedit
  6. Wymeditor
  7. PimenTech-scripts : jquery.jframe.js
  8. Jeditable
  9. jQuery Editable
  10. Edit in Place With Ajax Using jQuery JavaScript
  11. Table Editor (Useful for Editable Tables)
  12. jQuery Plugin: Inline Text Edit
  13. Ajax Instant Edit
  14. JeIP

1, 3, and 13 seem like the best ones. I'll probably go with 13 for this project but thanks for the selection. (btw, 9 says it's outdated and to use 8 instead) – Casey Hodge Mar 5 at 3:34
#1 and #2 seem to be the most robust and popular. WordPress uses #2 by default and Drupal 8 just settled to use #1 in its upcoming release. – Mario Awad Mar 8 at 11:18
