Hi, Gordon...

Running fresh install of Drupal 4.7.6 - Installed HTMLArea and it works great. I don't understand why anyone would prefer TinyMCE.

Anyway, I'm having fits trying to hide HTMLArea on certain text areas. I've successfully disabled it on all "Add forum topic" forms and all admin pages using "Do not display on the following pages" but i can't get it to hide on the "site-wide contact" form. I have all the table tools turned on so the toolbar pretty much obscures the editing field in such a small textarea. Besides, I don't want to intimidate folks asking for info with a complicated editor.

I've tried contact, /contact, example.com/contact, contact/*, contact.message all to no avail.

Any thoughts?

BTW, I was 8 pages deep through a drupal forums search looking for an answer but didn't find one there. Your assistance is appreciated.

Kevin

PS, FWIW, I miss the dynamic textarea selector page in whatever version of HTMLArea civicspace 0.8.2 used, That was easy to enable/disable with.

I find it more coherent to make HTMLArea display only on the specified pages; that makes it much easier to define which fields it will appear on.

You can do this using the field "Textarea specific visibility settings" at ?q=admin/settings/htmlarea in Drupal5.

(I'm hoping you've updated by now; it's been more than a year since this issue was last touched.)

Does that solve it for you?
