Magento

I added my TinyMCE insert locations to the Wiki. Thanks for the question .

I’m guessing that the JS doesn’t see the textarea because the textarea is drawn first. If you put the JS calls in the Editor.php file as mentioned above, it will work.

Here’s what my Editor.php file looks like:

the method you describe works just as well as when I put the code in the footer.phtml. The textarea is replaced (hidden) in the source, and the content is there, but is not being picked up by Tiny :(

I’ve implemented TinyMCE in the past on my own, and it’s usually always just worked by pointing it at the right element. This is le strange behavior indeed.

Can you post a screenshot of what’s going on?

Page 2 of the thread here, at the bottom, I posted a screen shot of the CMS Page page, which shows a text area with the TinyMCE wrapper.

it is not rendering, inside itself, the contents of the textarea it is targetting.

I can’t for some reason get my Firebug screen to ‘PrtScn’, so I’ll have to drum up some screen grabber utility to snap what I’m seeing, but essentially the page draws, and FireBug tells me there’s an error:

and this is what firebug tells me when I right-click / Inspect Elemnt
(i cut away some of the superfluous tr’s and td’s

I was sure I’d seen someone else complaining of the same error last week but I can’t find the thread in the forums now…

maybe it would work better if I could expose my dev site publicly and have someone log into the back end and see for themselves…

Hi Sean, hi winzippy,

I have got the same problem as shawn has.

It doesn’t work at the product editing site.

I am getting a clear tinymce also. But also the “help ?” button doesn’t work either.

Any Ideas?

Hints?

Weird. I wish I had this problem so I could help. You could always try FCKEditor. It’s a better editor anyway.

yes i like fckeditor too. But tinymce is shipped with magento, so it should be better to use the one which comes along the product.

I found a lot of comments in the tinymce forum about that problem. This error offen appears in combination of tinymce and ajax.

Senders,

What version of Magento are you using?

1.0

Yeah I still have the problem too.
I’m wondering if there are some paths within tiny_mce that need updating.  We have to jigger the ‘src’ of the tiny_mce.js call, so maybe it breaks paths inside...? i haven’t taken the time to look, and really it shouldn’t require such a change since other people seem to not have the problem…

i hope this can be resolved. Maybe I’m missing one simple step… meanwhile, I feel like this guy:

EDIT:  Ok I installed FCKeditor instead and I’m happy.

PLUS I can upload files through it wonderfully after setting up the fckeditor config file

Note, you only need to do step 4 if you want to use the file manager in fckeditor

1. Download It: http://www.fckeditor.net/download

2. Unzip in “js” (you dont need all the files, just fckconfig.js, fckeditor.js, and editor dir)

3. Edit: lib/Varien/Data/Form/Element/Editor.php

Above the commented out tiny mce script (replace the entire “$html = line” with:

4. Edit js/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/php/config.php

$Config[’Enabled’] = true ;

$Config[’UserFilesPath’] = the path you want to use for files, either absolute or relative. (i.e. /images/whatever/ or http://www.example.com/)

$Config[’UserFilesAbsolutePath’] = ‘/home/whatever/html/htdocs/whatever/nice/long/path/’ ;

[bTroubleshooting:]

1. Don’t forget trailing slashes in the config file
2. Make sure you fix any line breaks if you are copy/pasting

Known Problem

1. If making a new entry, you need to click the save in the fck controls, not the magento save

@Sean: I’m glad you like fck. The you can upload just about any file with it; like pdf’s, doc’s and the like (Under Add a Link, no less).

Note, you only need to do step 4 if you want to use the file manager in fckeditor

1. Download It: http://www.fckeditor.net/download

2. Unzip in “js” (you dont need all the files, just fckconfig.js, fckeditor.js, and editor dir)

3. Edit: lib/Varien/Data/Form/Element/Editor.php

hey excellent. you should add this stuff to the Wiki article:

Hello,

How do I do since the tiny_mce folder isn’t in the js folder? Is there an Extension key to download that package?

Thank you

Hi Sean,
I tried to follow your directions provided. Im pretty sure i did all 4 steps however i still get the same html box that showed up previously. By any chance did you also do this?

Not quite sure why my instance is not working?

Here is the snippit of my code i added to the editor.php file:

Do i Also need to enable the wysiwyg feature in that one file in the first page of the post?

Mahalo For your help!
