Afternoon all,

I am going down the route of using WYSIWYG. Now I downloaded this and installed it. I've activated it in the modules section.

It says on the installtion guide of this to then open up configure and then go through the installation instructions but when I do this it's showing me a list of editors I can use like TinyMCE etc. So I downloaded this one and then it allows me to set Drupal to use this editor for editing in FULL HTML etc but when I go to create content and basic page it doesnt bring up the editor to use.

When have seared the different editors on Drupal it says that they have all been replaced by WYSIWYG and that it has the editor installed in it. Am I not needing an seperate editor like TinyMCE and if not how do I install WYSIWYG correctly.

thanks

which means you also have to install: http://drupal.org/project/imce_wysiwyg

Make sure you also have set up the profiles so there is something to show (not sure where it is in 7, but somewhere you should see setting up the WYSIWYG profiles, which is where you'd click off the check boxes of what features you'd like to add.

Also by default the editor is set to "Filtered HTML".

I'm a Drupal noob and just started playing with Wysiwyg today too. I installed several editors including TimyMCE. What threw me off is by default no buttons were checked, so no toolbar displayed at all. Go to Configuration › Content authoring
Wysiwyg profiles and click edit for TinyMCE for whatever input format. Then go to buttons and plugins and check some boxes if none are checked.

Make sure you understand WYSIWYG is the ONLY drupal module you install. You don't download the editors from Drupal.org. You download them from the editor's home page. The download link for the TinyMCE Editor can be found in the installation instructions.

If you already knew this, feel free to ignore the post :)

Thanks for the info guys.

Been able to get it working now after the info.

Just out of curiosity, on TinyMCE what does Advanced links etc mean if you click on them

thanks
