Hi @,
I now this is a never ending story but I looking for a solution without a result in this forum.

I installed the 4.7 module and the tinymce_2_0_6_1.zip in this order and structur:

htdocs/modules/tinymce/tinymce.module
htdocs/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/ tiny_mce.js

I checked the "tinymce" module checkbox and saved.
In Administer -> access control, checked both the TinyMCE checkboxes for authenticated user and saved it.
I createt a new profile and enabled TinyMCE for "authenticated user".

But there isn`t a "rich-text" button like this:
In Drupal, go to "create content" -> page, if TinyMCE doesn't show up, click on the "enable rich-text" button thats at the bottom of the big textarea. If you don't see that text or TinyMCE doesn't show up, something has gone wrong.

But I have -> user-> account a "TinyMCR rich-text settings"
I see in administer->settings->tinymce->edit this menu

Home » administer » settings
Edit tinymce profile
advanced 
Visibility
Buttons and plugins
Editor appearance
Cleanup and output
CSS

and it is possible to use it, change the button and so on, without any error message.

So the only active fault ist the lack of rapport with
...if TinyMCE doesn't show up, click on the "enable rich-text" button thats at the bottom of the big textarea. If you don't see that text or TinyMCE doesn't show up, something has gone wrong.

Now my question: What's gone wrong?

Many thanks in advance

Ma

Did you use the tinymce compression file? Once I removed that file, my disable/enable rich text link showed up.

Firstly many thanks for your interest in this problem jasoncd!

And No: I have not used the tinymce compression file because I installed Drupal/Tiny tree times on my home test-machine with the same error. And now I installed a poor Drupal witout language and/or other files or modules; after I surveying this forum without solution. Still it is the same error as at the beginning. I made chmod 777 to all files and directoris, used the bluemarine and niftycorners themes and changed betwin konquerer, mozilla and mazilla-firefox but I have no avail.

I use gentoo with gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.6-r3 and Kernel-2.6.16-gentoo-r7 with apache-2.0.55-r1 and php5 with this flags:

php-5.1.4  -adabas -apache +apache2 -bcmath +berkdb -birdstep +bzip2 -calendar +cdb +cgi -cjk +cli +crypt -ctype +curl -curlwrappers -db2 -dbase -dbmaker -debug -discard-path -doc -empress -empress-bcs -esoob +exif -fastbuild -fdftk -filepro -firebird -flatfile -force-cgi-redirect -frontbase -ftp +gd -gd-external +gdbm +gmp -hardenedphp -hash -hyperwave-api -iconv +imap -informix -inifile -interbase -iodbc -ipv6 +java-external -kerberos -ldap -libedit -mcve +memlimit +mhash +ming -msql -mssql +mysql +mysqli +ncurses +nls -oci8 -oci8-instant-client -odbc -pcntl +pcre -pdo -pdo-external -pic -posix -postgres -qdbm +readline -recode +reflection -sapdb -sasl +session -sharedext -sharedmem -simplexml -snmp -soap -sockets -solid +spell +spl +sqlite +ssl -sybase -sybase-ct -sysvipc -threads -tidy +tokenizer +truetype -unicode -vm-goto -vm-switch -wddx +xml -xmlreader -xmlrpc -xmlwriter -xpm -xsl -yaz +zip +zlib 0 kB

And by the way, I use 

java-config --list-available-vms
[blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03] "Blackdown JRE 1.4.2.03" (/etc/env.d/java/20blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03)
[blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03] "Blackdown JDK 1.4.2.03" (/etc/env.d/java/20blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03) *

the blackdown-jdk machine.

I dont no if thats ok.But it seems that Tiny is installed (with the 2 mysql tables) and , yes, and what? I have all menus, no errors but not a Tiny. Yes I now thats incongruous but that's the absolute truth.

I'm a outsider of Drupal, this is my first drupal-installation, but if you have any hints there are wery welkome.

thanks for your time

I can confirm the above I am also seeing the same effect I can not find anything that makes the enable/disable rich text button to show up and tinymce tools never appear under any text boxes,

using drupal 4.7 tinymce module 1.90 tinymce 2.0.6.1

I have tried the suggestion above about deleting the compression module but to now avail

the curious thing is that it was working in the past, I presume something has changed somewhere, but I have no idea what it might be
I have tried deleting the tinymce profile and recreating it but it makes no difference, something somewhere has turned off rich text editing

anybody got any ideas

I had created a new access role called "editor" who was allowed to use tinymce, in fact this role is the only role configured to use tinymce. But I had assumed that user 1 would have had permissions by default, that would not seem to be the case as soon as I login as a member of the editor role tinymce is back and working.

oh well you live and learn !!

I'll do my best to explain, anyway I only spent 4 hours struggling with the problem :)

Upto till now whilst developing a new website for a local club, I have been doing all the work as the administrator ie the first username I added when I created the original install of drupal.

Last night as the site is almost ready for release I started creating roles for the users, one of these roles was called "Editor" and that role was given permission to use the tinymce profile.

I logged in as this user and edited a few things to make sure everything was working ok which it was.

I then wanted to add g2_image module to tinymce, so I downloaded it from its website and installed it, once again logged in as the site administrator.

I then tried editing a node and discovered that the enable / disable rich text option had vanished, I assumed the g2_image code was causing the problem so I removed it, but this did not cure the problem, so I spent a long time checking input filters, access permissions, recreating the tinymce profile etc etc, I even tried reloading all the tinymce code from backup but nothing worked.

Out of desperation I tried logging in as the user who had been given access to the tinymce profile and to my surprise it worked perfectly, it would appear that once you create a roles in drupal then tinymce requires you to assign access to its profiles using these roles, and only users who are members of the correct roles get access to tinymce

I had assumed that the all powerful user/ 1 would be able to use tinymce, but I was wrong and wasted several hours trying to locate a non-existant fault

the g2_image module by the way breaks tinymce in that the only buttons that seem to work once it is installed are the justification ones, the author is aware of the problem and says there will be a fix soon

hope this helps

Just to clarify,,, If you want to enable tinymce for user 1, login (as user 1) and Administer --> Users --> edit admin user. Make sure that the Role that you have enabled tinymce for is ticked, which means that:

"The user receives the combined permissions of the authenticated user role, and all roles selected here."

(I had the same trouble, obviously, and felt pretty daft when I figured it out!)

also if module i18n is installed, then you need to add the language code for 'listed pages'. Location of this setting is

>> administer > settings > tinymce > configure > visibility

If 'Show on only the listed pages' is ticked, then you should add code like this

xx/node/*
xx/user/*
xx/comment/*

Where xx is the language code like 'en' for english

This should work as it has worked for me when I was banging my head with similar situation :) Let me know if this doesn't work out

Good luck!!

I've just installed the latest Tinymce and Drupal. Everything is working fine.
If i add a page or a story tinymce comes up and i can edit and type and do what i want.

Now the problem is that when i choose to edit that page or any page for that matter...
Tinymce does not come up. There is now link at the bottom like if i was adding the page.
Only seems to dissappear when i want to edit a page.

Adding a page, then it works fine.

thanx in advance.

If a page was saved with the input format as php code, tinyMCE will not be able to work because tinyMCE doesn't support php code. if you use tinyMCE to put in any kind of php code the < and > are html encoded to &lt; and &gt; rather then proper php code. change your pages to Full HTML to get TinyMCE to work. I've heard that there are some issues with tinyMCE and filtered too. Maybe create a new filter type for nodes you want to use tinymce on exclusivly.

Probably some of you are using Firefox, and have otherwise a great NoScript plugin installed - so is with me.

I've had the same problem with TinyMCE suddenly disappearing (no GUI, no link below...). It worked, and suddenly it stopped (without I would do anything what could cause it). At the end, I've found out there is still no problem with M$IE and, after some more time spent, I've discovered NoScript is somehow messing the input (even if set to allow all scripts from this site or domain). After just enabling scripts globally (or, disabling NoScript) TinyMCE was back! With NoScript plugin enabled, TinyMCE now doesn't show up for the same site anymore, not even after restarting Firefox or even uninstalling and reinstalling NoScript (I've tried also some older versions...).

So, now I have sometimes to allow scripts globally when edinting content of some site (what is funny is a fact that at the same time there is no problem on one URL in the same domain, but TinyMCE doesn't show up on the other, even if both are in the same domain and for the whole domain scripts are allowed...).

As a long-term solution, I have to find a decent NoScript replacement (I don't trust this plugin much anymore, as obviously it interferes with the input even if you permit scripts for a site, and also saves some information somewhere hidden from me - what remains there even after reinstall...).
