I'm building a new site and have been trying to create pages using WYSIWYG editors (I've tried both TinyMCE & FCKeditor and had the same results) since that is how end users will be generating new content. In the screen caps below, I generate a page of content in the first, followed by the resulting output in the second:

http://www.prellchil.com/temp/1_createpage.gif
http://www.prellchil.com/temp/2_pageoutput.gif

You'll notice a few things. The line spacing is lost. The image that was inserted is displayed as an image tag. And the link about 3/4 of the way down the page is converted to a URL tag and loses the target window that I'd specified.

With the WYSIWYG editor disabled, I can get images on the page and formatting to stick by manually coding HTML, but I can't & don't expect my end users to go that route. I also tried making a copy of the "Filtered HTML" input filter and disabling all of the filtering rules for it, but that didn't work either.

So I know there has to be something simple I'm missing, which is frustrating me to no end.

Very much appreciate any assistance! Also - I still haven't found it, but is there a way for me to subscribe to this thread so that I receive a notification when something new is posted?

Thanks so much!

-Dan

Try setting the input format to 'full html'. You don't say which editor you're using, but if that fixes the problem, check the documentation for any recommend input format settings.

Thanks WorldFallz - for those tests, I was using TinyMCE in Filtered HTML mode. I just tried using TinyMCE in Full HTML mode with same results... see new screen caps:

It's still a filter problem. Edit the full html input format and uncheck the line break filter and html corrector. You'll also have to check whatever filter should be handling that '[img]' image shortcut as well.

Turned off those filters, but still same result. I checked the "Inline images" filter but still no luck getting the image to stick.

(headed home for the weekend - will check in first thing Monday)

You may have to clear the drupal cache, browser cache, and/or disable and enable the tinymce editor. Not sure what else to try. I don't use tinymce any more, but i've not had this problem with fckeditor.

Dan, did you ever figure out a workaround for this? I'm having the exact same issue.

WorldFallz - thanks for the suggestion & sorry to have not responded until now - I never figured out a way to 'subscribe' to drupal threads. After the last posts, I was pulled to other more pressing work so hadn't re-checked in a while.

smussenden - unfortunately, I never did find a solution. My site was in such an early testing phase that I wiped and started clean, which did solve it. Because I didn't have much time after I did so, I haven't had a chance to do some things that I'll need to (such as moving components to a different partition). Hopefully doing those things won't cause the site to show the same behavior again.

Good luck, and if you do find a solution, I'd love to hear it!

For me the [img] tag appeared instead of the [img_assist] tag when the BBCode plugin was enabled for TinyMCE.
