Editor not showing up after installation

I'm having exactly the same issue on:

WYSIWYG 5.x-2.x-dev
TinyMCE 3.2.2.3 (latest version on their site)

I also tried the 1.x version, with the same result. If I find the solution I'll post here.

Same here, nothing showing up at all.

There is a link to a FAQ on the project page. Did you read that and follow the known issues as well as testing guidelines if the module does not seem to work as expected?

1) Which other modules do you have installed?

2) Which browser are you using?

3) Did you read and double-check other issues in the queue?

Sorry, without further information this issue can only be marked as won't fix.

Feel free to re-open this issue if you want to provide further information. Thanks.

I must be missing something really obvious. I'm running Drupal 6.12 on a shared host with MySQL 5.0.67.d7 and PHP 5.2.8 and I installed WYSIWYG API for 6.x-2.0-alpha1 and it shows up in Home>>Administer>>Site building under User interface, just fine. Then I went into Home>>Administer>>Site configuration and there is Wysiwig at the bottom. I clicked "Installation instructions" and downloaded-unpacked-uploaded FCKeditor, TinyMCE, and YUI, and each of them shows as "installed" with a green check mark to the left, their name and version in a green band. In the dropdown box for Input Format - Editor, all three editors show up as options to select. The setup pages for all three show up when I click "edit" and I can select buttons and plugins at will. Then I hit Save. So far so good. Just one little problem: Not one of the editors shows up when I edit or create new pages/stories/book pages.
I tried going into the file system on the shared host and setting the permissions for the TinyMCE .js files to "executable" but that made no difference. I'm pretty much at my wit's end here.
It's puzzling me how come the Drupal package doesn't come with an editor built in. (Joomla does, WordPress does.)

Most likely, you enabled a button in on of your profiles that yielded a JavaScript error and thereby stopped all other scripts on the page.

I'd recommend to update to the latest development snapshot. Note however, that library path locations have been changed there, so you'll see the installation instructions again until you have moved your editor library folders to the new location.

If Wysiwyg API does not work as expected, please

0) Remove all profiles except one.
1) Remove all buttons/plugins from your Wysiwyg profile except bold+italic buttons
2) Test whether the editor appears
3) If not, temporarily disable (all) other contrib modules
4) Test again
5) If the editor appears, re-enable other contrib modules step-by-step to see who's guilty.

I've torn down the whole Drupal installation and am now trying a clean reinstall, and will install wysiwig api first, and see what happens.

OK, now I can see an editor. (FCK, first one I installed). Now I'll push my luck and try for TinyMCE.

OK, I can see TinyMCE, and by a time-consuming process of elimination, pinpointed the "Flash" module as the killer. When "Flash" is checked, the editor doesn't show. All the other buttons are OK (at least in the sense that they don't block the editor from showing).

Well...

I'd recommend to update to the latest development snapshot.

If you would have followed my advice, you wouldn't have encountered this bug.

If I could have SEEN the latest development snapshot, I would have uploaded it.

I am having the same issue, have gone through all your steps listed. Returned everything to defaults. Only have Bold and Italics selected. Went through all my Input Formats and redid everything. Still no luck.
I had TinyMCE working great before with G2 image and everything.
Updating to Wysiwyg API has not proven to be any benefit at all so far.

Wysiwyg 6.x-2.0
Libraries API is not installable as there is not a module to download to do so.
JQuery_UI will not install either, as it throws this error when trying to install the module Missing jQuery UI plug-in. Please download the jQuery UI development bundle and extract it to your jquery_ui module directory. See README.txt for more info. (Currently using jQuery UI Not found)
I have downloaded and placed that bundle in the correct place and it still won't install.

What EXACTLY do you have to do to make this thing work?

1) Did try to remove (!) all wysiwyg profiles and create one new profile with just bold+italic enabled?

2) Did you clear your site's cache and your browser cache?

3) Is there a JavaScript error?

4) Which other modules do you have installed?

Yes I "removed" all existing profiles, tried new ones, cleared cache many times.
No errors are thrown, just get the text editing box with nothing else around it.

I have tons of modules installed. There's really no way to go through them all one by one without causing other issues on the site.
Are there KNOWN modules that conflict with this?
Why would this module have issues that the standard TinyMCE module did not?

I pinpointed the problem on one of my sites to a couple TinyMCE plugins and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 & 7.

The affected plugins are: Drupal link picker and node picker.

Needs to be fixed in version 6....

@syn4k, What needs to be fixed? Please don't reopen issues without providing any information on which problem you are having. This issue is a mess where the cause of - and solutions to - their problems varied. Please open a more specific issue about your problem and provide as much information as you can.

Btw, there is no 'version 6' of Wyiwyg module. There are 6.x-2.0, 6.x-2.x-dev (and 6.x-3.x-dev) which are all for Drupal 6 but just 'version 6' does not specify which version you are using.

If you are using a custom theme/subtheme, make sure the $closure variable is still being printed at the end of your page.tpl.php (and overrides), and that you didn't accidentally clip it off. Otherwise, wysiwyg.js will not be included (as it binds itself to the footer in the module's scope), and none of the behaviors will be fired as they should be. This bit me for longer than I'd care to admit, but hopefully it helps someone else.

This (+ other common issues) is explicitly mentioned in the README.txt, but also covered in the FAQ, which is linked to on the project page.

If you have any ideas for improving the situation, then please let us know.

Thanks for the feedback, sun - however, in my case my problem manifested without throwing an error ("Drupal is not defined" or otherwise), so I didn't see the solution in that part of the FAQ. Perhaps a new ticket to improve the documentation is in order? As mentioned before, this issue is a bit cluttered as it is, though I did want to help point others who had similar symptoms in the right direction before moving on. :]

When I go here: Administer » Site configuration » Wysiwyg, not seeing Wysiwyg. It's installed in the proper directory. any ideas? thanks.

@leeschneider, this issue is closed. Please create a new support request issue if you're having problems installing the module. (Did you enable it?)

i have installed WYSIWYG but it not display texteditor.

i removed all module but it doesn't work. but when i created one sample site it display so i don't what i missing with it?

can u help me?
thanks

Please create a new issue, this one is pretty old and some things that might influence this have changed in recent releases.

A few things to try before opening the new issue:
Check the FAQ (linked from project page).
If it works on one site but not the other and you're using a custom theme, please check that the theme is printing $closure near the closing body tag.

When writing the issue description, please include which configuration settings you have changed on admin/settings/wysiwyg/profile/#edit/, like which buttons you enabled.
Also include any errors you see.

I Got the same problem No buttons showing up after installing WYSIWYG module and TinyMCE.
After installing and activating the WYSIWYG module you are asked to visit http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/download/download.php to download TinyMCE.
Here you can choose 3 versions :
1. TinyMCE 3.3.9.3
2. TinyMCE 3.3.9.3 jQuery package
3. TinyMCE 3.3.9.3 development package
First I downloaded the 1st version this did not work.
Then I tried the second one with the jQuery package and tried again. After configuring at stated in http://drupal.org/node/371459 the buttons appeared as expected.

In advance I also installed and activated jquery_ui and jquery_update modules.

Reverting status, see #29.
@Felix de Groen, any of those TinyMCE versions are compatible with Wysiwyg if configured correctly. (The jQuery version just adds an additional init API which Wysiwyg won't use, and it makes some internal changes to TinyMCE which Wysiwyg will never be aware of.)

I am still using version 6.x-2.1
I upgraded at one point but it broke everything, so I reverted back. I have the module working stably and don't plan to mess with it.
It is an essential part to my two sites, having them not work for any amount of time sucks.
There was a lot of messing here and changing there and manipulating to get it all working just right, along with the G2 Image support.
I suggest if you had it working once, roll back to that and stay there.
