TinyMCE Settings?

By erikhopp on 16 Jan 2006 at 23:27 UTC

hi.

i have installed 4.7 RC3 and TinyMCE CVS and for some reason i can't seem to get all of the TinyMCE settings to show up in admin/settings/tinymce.

for some reason, i am only seeing the default settings. i'd like to see something like this (http://www.asitis.org/tmp/tinymce_button.png) which is apparently what the settings page is supposed to look like.

the module seems to work, but i'd like to add some more buttons.

i think i have followed the installation instructions correctly. and i have enables the proper permission in access control.

anybody have any ideas?

thanks in advance.

I am having the same problem. I have not even looked around for a solution yet. But you are not the only one having issues.

I've never seen anything in TinyMCE like the screenshot you included. It would be great to have those options!

The trick is in timymce.module

I modified this file in the section that has the following comment:
// Add some extra features when using the advanced theme.

I modified mine in the following manner:

switch ($theme_name) {
case 'advanced':
$init['extended_valid_elements'] = 'a[href|target|name|title|onclick]';
$init['theme_advanced_buttons3_add_before'] = 'tablecontrols,separator';
$init['plugins'] = file_exists(drupal_get_path('module', 'tinymce'). '/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/drupalimage') ? 'drupalimage,table,emotions,print,fullscreen,iespell' : 'table,emotions,print,fullscreen,iespell';
// $init['theme_advanced_buttons3_add'] = 'drupalimage,emotions,separator,print';
$init['theme_advanced_buttons1_add'] = 'fontselect,fontsizeselect';
$init['theme_advanced_buttons2_add'] = 'separator,fullscreen,iespell';
$init['theme_advanced_buttons3_add'] = 'drupalimage,separator,forecolor,backcolor,separator';

break;
}

This added full screen, iespell, forecolor, backcolor, fontsize and fontselect.

Plugins need to be specified twice (I guess) in the line that starts with $init['plugins']

I ended up spending a lot of time grepping files and querrying the database to figure this out.

Hope this helps.

Did you create a profile?

mjohnq3 commented 17 January 2006 at 01:08

Did you create a profile? You need to create one and assign a user role(s) to it. Then you'll be able to select the buttons you want to show in the editor.

where?

erikhopp commented 17 January 2006 at 04:07

i don't see anywhere in the install file or the module or anywhere else where it says how to create a profile.

can someone point me to some doc or tell me how to do it?

thanks.

goto admin>settings>tinymce

it should say "create new profile" somewhere

Well, try this…

mjohnq3 commented 17 January 2006 at 20:23

Well, try this…

I’m using Drupal 4.6.5 and TinyMCE module rev. 1.58 with TinyMCE 2.0.1.

Go to admin/access under tinymce module and select the user role(s) who will have permission to access tinymce.

Go to admin/settings/tinymce and set the Default tinymce state to On. Above that you should see a link: Create a new profile. A new page, "Add new tinymce profile", will appear.

There are options on that page to assign the user roles to that profile, select the buttons that will appear in the toolbar, and others specific to TinyMCE such as the location of the toolbar, the types of pages it will be shown on, etc.

A Toolbar location of top and an alignment of left seem to work best. Also, if TinyMCE items show up in the wrong location, try setting the Editor CSS: to tinyMCE default.

Hope this helps.

hmmm... no profile link

erikhopp commented 17 January 2006 at 21:11

hi.

thanks for the thorough response.

here is what my tinymce settings page looks like: http://www.onthecommons.org/files/tinymce_settings.png

there are no links like you describe for creating a new profile.

perhaps its a bug in CVS or maybe even 4.7 RC3?

any ideas?

anybody have any idea if this is a bug?

erikhopp commented 24 January 2006 at 21:19

anybody have any idea if this is a bug in the module or if it is something specific to my setup?

thanks.

same here

nichead commented 10 February 2006 at 22:18

this won't help you, but we're experiencing the same problem here within the same setup - so it seems not to be your fault...

no one's got an idea yet?
