Hi there,
I am having a real difficult time with a problem that appears should be so simple to solve ... and yet I have been hitting the proverbial brick wall for 3 days now having not being able to reach any solutions.
My problem:
i installed tinymce/WYSIWYG, and have started experiencing problems with my drupal 6 website/s
When every I enter a hyperlink (eg $a href="http://www.oururl.com"$ Enter link here $/a$(where $ represents brackets as appropriate) or use the tiny mce hyperlink tools in the body of a newly created page (or edit an existing page) it gets displayed/rendered as [url=http://www.oururl.com] with square brackets when the page gets published - and the link is not clickable
Similarly anything that is bolded in tinymce appears fine (eg bolded) in the edit window, but when viewing page you can't see the text bolded and instead see the tags [b]text[/b] with square brackets
I don't know what the problem is ... checked Filtered HTML/Full HTML settings, theme settings, allowed html settings etc ... but it appears I am either not looking for the right settings, or don't know what I supposedto be looking for (I suspect the latter)
I was hoping that someone might please be able to provide a reason as to why this is happening, and how I might fix.
regards
James

input format
try making sure that your input format is Full HTML
:)
done that :-(
Hi and thanks for your response ... tried that already ... everything I author goes on as full html, and I double check to ensure that this is actually checked each time I write a page.
Any other ideas?

I'm not familiar with the
I'm not familiar with the module specifically, but I can tell you what is happening. Somehow, your module got configured to output code as bb code. This is code that is used on many forum softwares so that users can be allowed to add limited amounts of code, without knowing any HTML. There are two ways to fix this. Either figure out how to turn off the bbcode in the module, or install the bb code module. I would go with the second option myself - it adds a layer of security to your site.

thanks ... but how?
Hey ... now we are getting somewhere!
Thanks for that, I can see what the problem is now. However I have had a really good look through profiles settings for the WYSIWYG module, and cant see any settings for bb code. I'd prefer not to have to install another module if I can help it. Can you (or anyone else) point me in the direction of the settings for this?
thanks
James
Solution found
After punching some different search terms into my SE of choice I managed to find the following thanks to http://www.wickwoodonline.com/book/export/html/30 :
WYSIWYG and TinyMCE
One the biggest problems we seem to encounter is getting the proper configuration for WYSIWYG module using TinyMCE editor.
In fact, in setting up this site we ran in to 2 problems that seemed to be inconsistent with other sites that we have setup.
1. We could not get paragraphs to be properly created, even when we edited the html code directly. Paragraph
markup was being stripped out from the input some how.
2. Links would not become links, but instead would show up as text inside tags like [url=http://www.example.com]acnhor text[/url]
The first problem was solved by turning on Line break converter filter (under the input filter) and setting the Cleanup and output settings for WYSIWYG module to the following:
* Verify HTML - checked
* Preformatted - checked
* Convert tags to styles - checked
* Remove linebreaks - unchecked
* Apply source formatting - unchecked
* Force cleanup on standard paste - unchecked
The second problem was solved by turning off the BBCode button in the settings for WYSIWYG module. This solution was found in the Drupal Forums.
It is appears that the 2 problems were created by having the BBCode button inadvertantly turned on. It was later discovered that having the Line break converter filter turned on caused other formating problems if the HTML was edited directly. This was turned off, and everything else continued to work as expected.
I actually use the
I actually use the tinytinymce editor - same wysiwyg editor, different module. It was created because of the configuration troubles some people were having with the original module!
