TinyMCE not appearing on CP publish form field
Development and Programming
Originally I had TinyMCE installed, with LG Tiny MCE extension (both latest versions with EE 1.6.7), I had it working fine, but was getting a blank pop-up when trying to ‘insert’ image from the edit bar.
After trawling the web, and reading various posts I could not find a solution. So I decided to delete TinyMCE, remove the LG Tiny MCE extension, clear the cache and install everything again.
Now I can’t even see the editor even though the path is correct (/scripts/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js).
Previously I had it installed in ‘tinymce/tiny_mce.js’, could something in EE still be looking for it there, even though I have cleared cache and re-installed all the files?
Been 6-8 hours at this now! And client has bought MCImageManager, so have to get it working. Have read other posts relating to this problem, but none have worked for me.
Anyone any light they could shed on this it would be a BIG help! :down:
Further to this I have checked the code of the publish form, as advised by Levi G. in another post, and the field DOES have the “class=’lg_mceEditor’” property
Could anyone please help me on this, or point me in the right direction for correcting this. When I look at the Web Developer Error console, I get this
Error: tinyMCE is not defined Source File: http://mywebpage.com/system/index.php?S=4a893cb7df6cfc93c131065cf2b58d25e73e05fa&C=publish&M=entry_form&weblog_id=15 Line: 2535
Could the above be something to do with the TINYMCE editor not appearing? Some help would be great on this.
Cheers
That error means that the tinyMCE Javascript file isn’t getting called. It is very possible that you’ve got some leftover crap in your extensions table in EE – i’ve noticed that sometimes they don’t uninstall cleanly. It’s also possible that there’s a path issue somewhere else.
First thing to do: View Source on your Publish page. It’ll be HUGE. Then, do a find for tiny_mce.js and figure out what path it’s actually being called from. That should give you some clues as to what’s wrong.
Thanks for this Adrienne, I changed the script URL to full address (http://mysite.com/scripts/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/), rather than /scripts/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce. This now works…
I am now getting blank pop-ups when clicking the buttons, ‘add image’, ‘HTML’ etc. Would this be a Javascript problem also?
Thanks again
The above is bringng up the follow errors:
Error: Permission denied to get property Window.tinymce Source File: http://www.mywebpage.com/scripts/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce_popup.js Line: 5
Error: this.params is undefined Source File: http://www.mywebpage.com/scripts/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce_popup.js Line: 5
Hm. Does in fact sound like a path issue with Javascript, but it’s just … odd. Hm. If you’d like to PM me, I can see if I can help you get sorted out.
