I'm having problems getting the quicktags module to work. First I followed some instructions that I read somewhere on this site (I forget where now) and put the quicktags folder into my modules folder (it only contains 1 file: quicktags.module) That didn't work. Then I just put quicktags.module in the modules directory. That didn't work either. I enabled the quicktags module, but there is no effect. Also on the modules page, no description is shown for quicktags.

I don't have a clue how to get this to work. Quicktags has no installation instructions, and I also couldn't find any module installation instructions in the drupal administrators handbook :|

I need the simple kind of image insertion features you'll find in YABB and phpBB, I do not want any of this inline, upload, image, HTMLarea, etc module stuff which is way too complicated and/or has a bloated gui. (also I want all my images to reside outside of drupal in a nice neat ftp directory) Right now I have to (get my users to) type the actual html for inserting images.

Sorry for sounding so frustrated or demanding, but I'm just frustrated right now :p Any help is much appreciated :)

I d/l the module 1.4 @

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/quicktags/qui...

After enabling it, i got an error which should not happen,

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: drupal_set_html_head() in BLAHBLAH\quicktags.module on line 15

It just assign a javascript, but, where is it?

what version of drupal are you using and what version of quicktags? Also, quicktags for 4.5 doesn't do images out of the box.

try image assist.

is my Drupal version.

And I tried htmlarea module and found it was better than quicktags module, well, except for Safari *_*

So, anyone got Quicktags working??? I need a solution for this, my current solution is to get my users to manually write img tags, but that's obviously a lame solution.

According to
http://lists.drupal.org/archives/development/2005-04/msg00138.html
this is a bug in the module - you can work around by turning of cache in Drupal's settings.

If anyone has a patch to make the quicktags module work when caching is on, that'd be great.
