LG TinyMce

As far as I know that’s the correct response. Text formatting isn’t available because you have already selected WYSIWYG, so don’t worry about it, if you click save and create a post using that text field group it should work fine.

Thanks for your reply. When I try to publish a new entry … only the old editor is available and not the TinyMCE editor. Totally lost at the moment because as far as I am aware I followed all the necessary steps. Any help appreciated. Thank you

I take it you’ve made sure that Weblog is using the correct Field Group? From memory the steps should be:

1) Install and activate LG TinyMCE. 2) Make sure the paths in the setting of LG TinyMCE are correct for your server. 3) Create Field Group, make sure select WSYIWYG on the content area that you want. 4) Go into Weblog settings and make sure the weblog is set to use that field group.

Can you confirm all those are ticked off?

As far as I am aware they are. I am able to set wysiwyg from the drop down menu thats when the error I mentioned comes up. One thing thing that does concern me is the path: /scripts/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js. Should this be C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\scripts\tinymce\jscripts\tiny_mce\tiny_mce.js as I have EE installed locally. I have tried to use this but the path is to long, I tried to shorten it … but still was unable to see the editor.

Thanks

Hmmm, I’m sorry I’m not too sure about that as I work on either a Mac or Linux server. As far as I know, it should only need the directory path from the folder that EE is installed in.

This thread might have some things to try. Sorry I can’t help anymore than that, hopefully someone else will help soon.

Thanks for the help … I will keep trying and I will post the answer once I find it. Thanks

I have the same problem. More vexing, I have it working in a localhost set up, so I know it can work. I’ve tried every path variation I can think of online, but no luck. Absolute URLs, relative URLs, server paths–nada.

Hmm. Fingers crossed. I changed the permissions on the scripts directory and all it contained (TinyMCE) to 777. Then I emptied EE’s cache and, voila, success. The path I used was /scripts/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js, which I’d tried unsuccessfully before. So, now let’s see if a) it sticks; b) I can get TinyBrowser to work.

TinyBrowser works!

I’m having this same issue now. I’ve read this entire thread (and others in this forum) and have tried every suggestion. Still…when I set the field to wysiwig it doesn’t work, and I cant use the buttons on the basic editor. But when I change the field back to textarea i still have the worikng editor.

It’s like it recognizes that it’s set to wysiwig but I just don’t get the tinymce editor.

suggestions?

@ weblion I am at the point where this has become desperate and I am still no closer to fixing this. I have tried setting up EE on other hosting companies .. installed it locally and still no luck. Please if any one has any idea please can you drop a line. Thanks

I installed the LG TinyMce ext., that worked well, but when i try to open a window (for example a link or switch to HTML) it stays blank. See attachment for example.

Anybody a idea how to make this work? Thank you already.

For you people still having problems with the TinyMCE editor showing up. I just spent 2 hours trying to get it to work. I followed the directions exactly, I could even see the javascript call and settings in the page source.

I figured it was a path issue to the js file. when I typed in a relative url to my EE root (scripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js) it wouldn’t work. If I typed in the full url (http://www.blah.com/folder/scripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js) it worked. I need it to be relative because I will be moving it out of “folder” and into the root. I ended up typing the url like this (../scripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js) and it still worked. I made sure and cleared the cache after every try. Hope this can help someone.
