Hi. I'm brand new to the web and Drupal and everything, it seems.

I spent a few hours last night trying to wrap my head around Drupal and was shocked when I actually got Forums onto my new website!

Anyways, I installed the OpenWYSIWYG module by sun and it shows up when I create a new page, but not when I want to create a new forum post, blog entry or story.. How do I get it to do that?

Thanks!

bump.

I'm sure it's probably a simple fix! Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

Edit: I sort of got it to work, just not the exact way I would like:

I went to Administer=> Site Configuration=> OpenWYSIWYG

There are 4 tabs: Basic Settings, File Browser, Visibility, Custom Buttons

I went to Visibility and under 'Content Type' you can chose one of two options: Don't show editor on this content type OR Only show editor on this content type.

By default, it is set on Only show editor on this content type: page

I deleted page and checked the box for Don't show editor on this content type, meaning it will show it on all content types.

I went back to the forum and it didn't show up. I had the forums set up so the Reply To was part of the same forum page (Administer, Content Management, Content Types, Forum Topic, Comment Settings=Location of comment submission form) This WAS Set on Display below posts or comments, and that caused OpenWYSIWYG to not show up. I switched the forum comments setting to Display on separate page, and now it shows up!!!

The only thing I could ask for is to have it show up if I select Display below post or comments

I really like this module! It is quick and simple. I cant get the editor to work for blocks though. Even if the text area ID "edit-body" which goes for blocks as well as pages it still only work on pages. I didn't find this in the issue tracker despite there was a recent update of the module (7:th May).

I look forward to use OpenWYSIWYG as my standard editor becuse it supports ImageBrowser and ImageCache, it is light weight and quick to set up, no 3:rd party installations.

Any ideas how to work around this problem?

I run towards the same problem. Could not get the editor to appear in blocks. Without this option, I can't use the editor!

Try downloading the Wysiwyg API and follow all of the instructions. After the OpenWysiwyg files are properly copied to the library, go to Site Configuration -> Wysisyg and edit the Full HTML or Filtered HTML settings from there. I am only a rookie Drupal user and found this by part accident, part trial and error, so just make sure to follow all the listed instructions for both modules.

Hope this helps!

I had the same problem. Look under administer>site config>openwysiwyg

In the visibility tabe there is an option to type in which pages the wysiwyg will be displayed.

Hope this helps.

I also meet this problem, the solving is:

On {yourDomain}?q=admin/settings/openwysiwyg/visibility

Content type:
Don't show openwysiwyg editor on this content type:
{select this} Only show openwysiwyg editor on this content type:

and fill:
page, story

important to use , between the page and story to use OPENWYSIWYG in story also ... i think this system also work on blogs and forums too.

I have entered page and story - this does not fix the issue. I have tried other configurations, but no luck.

In Visibility, under "Content type: " choose "Only show openwysiwyg editor on this content type:" and put in page,blog

You will get the OpenWYSIWUG in your blog.

Hi--
I tried the the suggestions above (except the one about reading the API). At first, none of them worked.

But then it started working. My theory is that some combination of toggling configuration options did the trick.

Here's my best recollection of what I tried:
1.) I checked the radio button for Only show openwysiwyg editor on this content type:
and filled it in exactly as follows:
page,blog,story
2.) I checked the radio button for Enable editor for Comment.

After I did those two things, OpenWYSIWYG started working. Here's the kicker: I turned off both of those options, and it kept on working.

Good luck!
