Lightbox, Collapsiblock and Tinymce Conflict

Are you using the correct scriptaculous files?

Download the ones from here: http://www.stellapowerdesign.net/scriptaculous-drupal.zip

I am also having similar difficulties, though I am only using Lightbox2 and Tinymce. If I turn off the Lightbox Plus features, Tinymce initiates fine. Otherwise, I receive an error "tinyMCE.baseURL has no properties" when I load the page, and when I try to initiate tinyMCE manually via the Enable Rich Text link, I receive an error like "s.invalid_elements has no properties". This seems to only be an issue in Mozilla based browsers, IE7 works just fine.

Also, the problem only shows up when editing a node. Creating one will allow Tiny to initiate just fine.

I have tried using several different versions of the Lightbox2 and the javascript files, in many combinations, to no avail. If anybody has a solution or suggestion, I would be grateful.

It seems that the Lightbox js files and the tinymce js files will never play nice. When they are both loaded on the same page, errors occur. In the lightbox.module, there is an if test that only loads the js files if the page is loaded with a 'view' operator. On clean built websites I cannot reproduce the error. Something in core or another module is causing the edit page to load with a 'view' handler, thus invoking lightbox along with tinymce. It should only be getting the 'load' and 'prepare' operators. If you absolutely need it fixed, you can eliminate

if ($op == 'view'

test, but leave the

if ($node->type = 'image'

test. This is not the preferred method, because now lightbox will only attach to image galleries and image nodes, but not cck types or anything else.

lightbox2 - tinymce issues is already been reported in #142759

I've found perhaps a better way to fix the node api test. If you add another condition to line 58 of the module, so that it looks like this:

if ($op == "view" && !$LIGHTBOX2_INCLUDE && $page == "true") {

it will correct the problem as well. From looking at the rest of the code, however, this test is actually quite redundant. The drupal_add_js function is smart enough to not load javascript files twice. So, maybe if you were to load the javascript files when the link is generated, instead of at the noodapi hook, it would also solve the problem, but as I am in a production environment, I havnt the time to fix it myself.

Try the patch from #166461 (comment #2) which will allow you to specify individual pages on which the lightbox javascript should not be loaded.

This should no longer be in an issue with the new version of lightbox2 which now uses jQuery, removing the need for prototype/scriptaculous libraries. This has been released in 5.x-2.0 and 6.x-1.0.

Just got the same problem like danwassink from the first entry ...

Using lightbox2-5.x-2.8 and tinymce_2_1_3 ...

No idea how to fix that. I will update this thread when I [hopefully] found a solution.

Did anybody found the solution on this in the meanwhile?

It's more likely to be a problem with collapsiblock or tinymce modules. The 5.x-2.x version of the lightbox2 module no longer uses the prototype / scriptaculous libraries, but instead jquery which is now part of the drupal distribution. This should eliminate any conflict errors.

Please try disabling the lightbox2 module and see if the problems persist - don't forget to clear your drupal and browser cache when you do this. If you can verify that it only stops working with the lightbox2 enabled, then please open a new issue for this, providing details on your lightbox2 and jquery update versions, along with your lightbox2 settings.

I've tried the latest lightbox2, tinymce and collapsiblock modules and everything's working, except the "collapsed by default" option, but that doesn't work for me even when I disable the other 2 modules.
