Using TinyMCE 3, with the 5.x version of the module, the buttons and plugins icons are broken on the administration page (see screenshot). One is also unable to add them to the toolbar.

This is the second time this happened: the first time was on a client's site and I rolled back to TinyMCE 2.X which fixed it.

This occurred this time when I switched out tinyMCE 3.x for 2.x, then went back to 3.x. It worked initially with 3.x but was broken after a replacement of tinyMCE with 3.x.

However, even after an uninstall of TinyMCE and deletion of entries from the system table in the database, deletion of all TinyMCE files, and a re-copy from scratch, the problem persists with 3.x. I guess I will roll back to Tiny 2.x and try that out.

Because of the fact that the problem persists, I imagine that TinyMCE has configuration files squirreled away in the database somewhere. Otherwise the problem couldn't persist. Either that or I'm mistaken that it ever worked with 3.x.

Thanks
Jeremy

By the way, thanks for maintaining a great module and for checking these issue queues. TinyMCE is a great module that I bet everyone complains about.

Rolling back to TinyMCE 2.1.3 from 3.0.8 fixed the problem. But why does it break?

nd, if the 5.x module is configured to only support 2.x, then I am sure that all the newbies would appreciate a note in the readme or the project page, because MoxieCode's main download is the 3.x version of Tiny and that's what folks grab by default.

Putting up notes like that can make Drupal way friendlier for newbies, and as I am sure you are aware, TinyMCE is the module that newbies head straight towards. ;^)

Thanks for all your work,
Jeremy

Same problem occurs with 5.x.1.x dev version and TIny 3.x in a fresh install of Drupal.

Version: 5.x-1.9-1 » 6.x-1.1-dev

Same problem on 6.x.1.1 dev

The reason is evident.
2.x has separate icons for each plugin located in the /images dir inside the plugin dir.
3.x has one big icon pic, "icons.gif", containing all core pluging icons, located in /themes/xx/img directory. Probably for faster loading or something.

A solution would be to load the big gif with offsets with css to display the right icons.

I solved it by copying all images in to a new 'images' folder in tinymce and pointed the code to look for the images there. Perhaps not the best solution, but easy.

When the editor loads, all images are placed with CSS from the big icons.gif image, so perhaps that code could be used for the admin interface as well, with some tweaks.

Don't know if this is still an issue, but closing for now.
