Error while installing YUI Rich Text Editor

BeginDrupal - December 1, 2008 - 02:14

Hi there !

I am just new to Drupal and installed yesterday the latest version (Drupal 6) locally on my laptop (for training) using XAMPP.
Everything worked fine until I tried to install the module wysiwyg editor YUI.

I went to Drupal page and downloaded the latest module release 6.x-2.33
Then I unzipped and copied the folder in "htdocs/drupal/sites/all/modules" and it appeared in my back end modules page.

But now I cannot enable the module and it's written (missing) in red as you can see a screen copy below.

Enabled Name Version Description
YUI editor 6.x-2.33 Enables the usage of the Yahoo User Interface library's Rich Text Editor.
Depends on: Yui (missing)

I named the module yui-6.x-2.33 and even try to rename it like yui-2.33 but problem remains.

Can anyone please help me to find out where I went wrong ?

Thank you all for your help !

Well I found the answer. So if a beginner meets the same situation, here is the answer :
Needs not only to install the Yui Editor (widget) but also the Yui interface (The Yahoo! User Interface Library) which is in fact the master module.
Thanks to http://www.thethisorthat.com/review/yui-rich-text-editor who gave me the answer by clearly stating:
“Drop in BOTH the Yahoo YUI AND YUI Rich Text Editor modules then enable them.”

For download and more details see also here : http://drupal.org/project/yui

It was worth searching a bit as it looks like a pretty nice and convenient editor :-)

How did you resolve it - can you help me please

I have the same problem. I am getting the following error:

Enables the usage of the Yahoo User Interface library's Rich Text Editor.
Depends on: Yui (missing)

I have installed both Yui Editor (widget) but also the Yui interface.

Here is the structure of my site

-sites
  |--all
  |   |--modules
  |          |--yui_editor
  |--default
       |--files
             |--yui-2.6.0

Thanks in advance for your help.

jay695, you should add YUI

jay695, you should add YUI directory on /sites/all/modules/, not on /default/files/.

This worked for me with Calendar YUI module.
