Whizzywig Editor doesn't appear anywhere

Try to reinstall and change Whizzywig settings to default, then create a new 'page'.
Please report the result here.

For this: "I went to the "Create Page" page and there was no editor."
What is the URL in your browser? Some user report issue with old version of admin_menu module, please install new version if you use admin_menu.

What do you mean by:
"The URL is ...com/add/page and I've tried for other node types. The system paths are like ....com/node/add/page."

Did you use your own path alias rather than Drupal default? I mean, by default when we add a page then. the URL is: http://domainname.tld/node/add/page and this url used by Whizzywig to activated the editor.

Note: try to reset Whizzywig by click on Administer - Site Configuration - Whizzywig: Reset to default. With default variables Whizzywig should appear on "page" node-type (node-type = page). Also look at your browser then view source code, check if the library of Whizzywig loaded when you are in node/add/page URL.

Got the same problem here... - But with drupal 5.21.
Tried to deinstall the module and reinstalled it, still plain old textarea-box on node/add/page.
Looked at the source code and I have:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/whizzywig/whizzywig/whizzywig.js"></script>

in the header and:

<script type="text/javascript">
      buttonPath = "/sites/all/modules/whizzywig/whizzywig/buttons/"; //directory holding button images
      makeWhizzyWig("edit-body", "all");
</script>

in the body section right after the "edit-body" textarea field.

But it does not show up on FireFox 3.6.
Just tried it on Opera and there I get it displayed, but without Icons.
So, I think, I will try some other editors now...

I'm having this issue as well. Everything is set to default on Whizzywig and the editor is only showing when I EDIT a page, not ADD. I need this editor to show up when I create a new node.

I am having this problem too. Has anyone resolved it?

editing works, but adding does not.

Thanks!

I have the same problem here too,

will whizzywig editor work if i edit an offline page that located on a localhost?

i'm using xampp as the local server.

dl_valora: please use D6 version
sgermain06@gmail.com: please show me the URL when you add new node
yulius_oka: yes, whizzywig work fine on localhost either on hosting server

Dear all, please use at least Whizzywih 6.x-1.7, thanks.

Hi everyone.

I am using Drupal 6.16; with any other theme, I get Whizzywig (6.x-1.8) showing. When I apply the BLUEPRINT theme, no editor.
Any ideas?

**This might help someone** though, it is technically a hack, and is not a true fix for this module.
Note, I first upgraded to the latest version of this module, which is 1.8, then....

To get the editor to appear, I modified the javascript file. The reason is simple: namespace.

At the bottom of whizzywig058.js, in the library folder of the module, five functions are defined with single letter names. They are s() h() o() w() and t(). Because all js variables and functions can see eachother, the names can (and did) conflict with another javascript in my theme or a contributed module.

A careful find and replace did the trick. Careful! because there are many other functions in the file that end in s and h. I put a space before the single letter function in my search and replace.
For example... find: " h(" replace with: " haha("
If you have Firebug, look at the error console for the specific function that is failing, and rename it as described. Without Firebug, it's more guesswork, but replacing all of these single-letter function names is worth a try.

NOTE TO THE MAINTAINER(S)
While I have no idea what modifications are already being made to the whizzywig.js to make it work in drupal, I'm sure the list is considerable, and your work is appreciated. I hope you will consider adding more complex function names to the list of tweaks for future releases.

@sgermain06@gmail.com: I need more info, what is the URL when you add new page? what is your theme?

@flow_tnt: I have installed BLUEPRINT to reproduce this bug, but this theme list all text in plain format. You may try another theme.

@invisible_ink: patch will be ported after testing. You right, using single chars for names may cause unpredictable issue. Thanks for detail technical info, this make bug fix very easy.

Since Whizzywig has new version 61 then I have contacted the creator to avoid conflict to Drupal .js, so we don't need to change Whizzywig library anymore.

This 60-series used on Whizzywig 6.x-2.0-series.

I got the same problem; the editor does'nt appear. But after inspecting with firebug, it appears that 'whizzywig61.js' was not loaded. It's because I put 'whizzywig' module in sites/all/modules/somefolder/whizzywig. However, whizzywig module assume that the module is located in sites/all/modules/whizzywig, as indicated in line 217 in file whizzywig.module (I'm using 6.x-2.3 version) like this:

drupal_add_js('sites/all/modules/whizzywig/library/whizzywig61.js');  

After change the line with this:

drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'whizzywig') . '/library/whizzywig61.js');  

It's working. Thanks for the module and your good work!

ive got this problem as well. I didnt have the full path to the target directory
I did
sudo mkdir -p sites/all/modules/whizzywig/library/
sudo cp -r modules/whizzywig/* sites/all/modules/whizzywig/library/
and the menu now appears , but the text on many of the buttons is missing, as per screenshot . A mouseover makes the text appear , but I need the text on the buttons !

its the same for editing an existing or creating a new one.

@metaldo: the icon image come from this file: sites/all/modules/whizzywig/library/icons.png

@taite11:
1. try to set Whizzywig to its default settings
2. then , try to create a new page (content type = page)
3. if above doesn't work then please try Garland theme (maybe issue come from the theme)

Closed because Drupal 6 is no longer supported. If the issue verifiably applies to later versions, please reopen with details and update the version.
