Thread

Just recently installed tinyMCE. It is showing in my extensions manager and it has been enabled and the cache has been cleared yet to no avail. I am in need of some direction as to where to go from here as to how to remedy it not showing the publish area.

Thanks

Hi, skydog - can you go through the steps that you used to install it?  Also, what version and build are you using?

ver. 1.6
build - 20070815

downloaded tinyMCE and placed it in same dir as path.php
downloaded ext zip and placed lang file in system/language/english
placed ext file in system/extensions

thanks

If you go to the Extension Manager and click “Settings” - grab the URL to the file and put it in your browser, do you see the javascript there?

I did as you suggested - plugged URL in browser and got message it could not find it on server. Maybe my eyes are deceiving me but according to my ftp client it is there.

Well, that’s why it’s not showing up.  Is the JS file itself in the correct place, following the URL path?

Lisa,

Many thanks. You were right on the money. Sorry for the bother.

Not a worry at all, glad you got it working!

I am also having a problem with the TinyMCE Editor not displaying in the publish area. I am using method 2 ask described on the Wiki. I have carried out the following steps:

0. Running latest version of EE v1.6.0 build: 20070918
1. Downloaded TinyMCE from their website - version 2.1.2
2. Uploaded the tinymce directory to the root of my website i.e. same level as path.php so the path to the tinymce js is http://www.mydomain/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js
3. Downloaded the v1.1.5 of the TinyMCE extension from http://leevigraham.com/
4. Uploaded the extension to my extensions directory and language file to language/english directory and enabled the extension via the EE control panel - checked settings reference the tiny_mce.js file correctly.
5. In the field groups/custom fields I enabled the default “body” field as WYSIWYG instead of textarea.
6. Set “Default Text Formatting for This Field” setting to none.
7. Selected the option “Hide Formatting Menu”
8. Flushed all caches and then went to publish page

The TinyMCE editor still does not display.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks.

Is it throwing any javascript errors for you?  And if you view source for the public page, can you spot the link to the js and is it correct?

Hi Robin,

I am not getting any javascript errors and can confirm that tiny_mce.js is loaded (using JS view - firefox extension). When viewing the publish page there is no noticeable error but the editor is simply not displayed.

In truth- I’ve only tested method 1 and I’m not familiar with the extension used for method 2.  Making it hard to guess.  Let me check with the crew- see if anyone has used that extension.  I may need to shift this down to the extensions forum, as it’s a third party extension that I’ve never used.

Is this the main thread on that extension?  Might spot a hint there.  I’ll search around myself, see if anything looks likely.  Might be a good idea to post to that thread as well- assuming that’s the right extension (I think so).  Folks using it may have better input.

I’m having this problem with Paul’s TinyMCE extension - I’m on 1.6.1, I’ve cleared caches and the js is loading.  I get this error with Firebug but don’t know what it means:

r has no properties
init()tiny_mce.js (line 1)

I am using EE 1.6.1 and am also experiencing problems with TinyMCE / LG TinyMCE Custom Field Module.

Like ruraldreams, I get the “r has to properties” error in my JavaScript Console.  I have many custom fields that are text areas which should be converted into TinyMCE, however only the first two convert.  The others don’t.  This happens on all browsers as well (the issue is not browser related).

Further, when outputting the content of TinyMCE fields, line breaks are being inserted when they shouldn’t be.  Like the TinyMCE tutorial stated, I have set these text area fields to the format of “None” and NOT XHTML nor Line Breaks.

I guess TinyMCE wasn’t tested too well with 1.6.1.  I hope this gets resolved soon.

Which version of LG TinyMCE are you guys using? The latest version is 1.1.7 and it is working fine on my instal of ExpressionEngine 1.6.1.
