I’ve never been a big fan of ExpressionEngine’s Edit index. (Or any other CMS’s version of the page, for that matter.) The workflow just seems strange to me. You generally start off at your website, looking at the entry you decide to edit, and then you have to hunt for that same entry within the CMS before you can touch it. |
Editor adds little Edit buttons next to each of your entries, right on your website. Click on one of them, and that entry’s Edit page will open in a new window. |
FieldFrame is a framework for rapid development of fieldtype extensions in ExpressionEngine. |
It comes with five useful fieldtypes: |
That’s right—ExpressionEngine is finally getting a little dignity in the content editing department. Gone are the days of confusing configuration scripts, Word ’97-inspired UI, and markup that rivals the semantics of tables. Welcome to Wygwam. |
The premier WYSIWYG editor for ExpressionEngine. |
A strong foundation in CKEditor 3 |
Wygwam fields are powered by the brand-new CKEditor 3, a major overhaul of the best WYSIWYG in town. It’s fast, accessible, and mighty powerful. It even features a “Paste from Word” dialog that’ll pry all inline styles from your clients’ copy! Read more about what makes CKEditor so great at its Features page. |

Relationships in ExpressionEngine are a powerful tool. They enable you to link entries together, so you can avoid managing duplicate content. However, many find the built-in implementation to be inadequate due to its single-entry limitation. |
Playa is a new fieldtype that takes relationships to the next level. It has become the go-to extension for relating entries in EE. Here’s why: |
Fill up your Playa field with entries from whichever weblogs you wish. |
Multiple, sortable selections |
There’s no limit to the number of entries you can relate within a Playa field. And you have complete control over the order they’ll appear on your site. |
