Layout Manager
Introduction
The ARK Editor Layout Manager seeks to improve upon both the JCK Editor and JCE. User permissions are now set on a plugin level which is more flexible and in keeping with Joomla’s logic. For an example with JCE you would be required to create a plethora of toolbars to set your user permissions but with the ARK Editor you can achieve this with “one toolbar” by setting up user permissions on the plugin level. This means that one toolbar can be setup to support multiple user groups. To learn about this please see: Plugin permissions.
