So I'd like to use HTMLArea. I'm having problems installing it. I'm assuming that once installed, I should be able to go to create content -> page and use it?

I've done the usual steps of copying the entire HTMLArea folder into \modules and turned it on under adminster\modules

I've also downloaded Xinha from http://xinha.python-hosting.com/wiki/DownloadsPage. It says to unpack it into the htmlarea module directory. Does that mean right into the \modules\htmlarea folder on in a \modules\htmlarea\xinha folder or somewhere else?

I go to create content -> page and don't see HTMLArea.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Jason

Hi!

The drupal module is just a "shimmy" to get drupal to use htmlArea. The htmlArea "code" itself needs to be downloaded from elsewhere and copied into the modules\htmlArea\ subdirectory structure.

The actual place you unpack it to can be found simply by reading the docs in the

modules\htmlArea directory.

If you can't find the answer, here's what you do: Extract the package

1) "right into the \modules\htmlarea folder" and test

2) "\modules\htmlarea\xinha folder" and test

3) "or somewhere else" and test

You've got your answer in your own post. Please read docs and try to experiment.

I got it working by downloading the xinha-nightly build and unpacking to the /modules/htmlarea/xinha-nightly directory not xinha.

I have also found that it does not work using opera and you need to enable it in your user account settings. Don't for get that htmlarea is very customizable (admin > settings > htmlarea), but it should work out of the box without having to change much settings.

Hope that helps.
