By trantt on

when show on only the listed pages was used (tinymce default setting), the Tinymce toolbar is not visible on my page. Once I switched to "Show on every page except the listed pages.", the Tinymce will be displaying on my screen.

Thanks

Show on only the listed pages:

node/*
user/*
comment/*

Hi Trantt,

What options do you have set under "basic setup" in your tinymce profile config? Some of these control how and whether TinyMCE is displayed/used as well. I quote the text from the page below:

Default state:
Default editor state for users in this profile. Users will be able to override this state if the next option is enabled.

Allow users to choose default:
If allowed, users will be able to choose their own TinyMCE default state by visiting their profile page.

Show disable/enable rich text editor toggle:
Whether or not to show the disable/enable rich text editor toggle below the textarea. If false, editor defaults to the global default or user default (see above).

Maybe try changing some of those options, like setting "Default state" to "true" if you haven't already. (It took me a bit to figure out I needed to do this when I installed the module.)

I tried all possible ways (all true, all false, mixing of true/false) but got the same result.

Thanks

1. If you set "default state" to "false" and "Show disable/enable rich text editor toggle:" to "true," do you then see the "enable rich text" link under your text box form fields? A great place to check would be under the admin user's "my account" page (the link should be right under your signature text field).

2. Have you granted access to the module under adminster/access control to a user-group the account you're using is a member of?

3. Have you checked which buttons to enable under "Buttons and plugins" on the TinyMCE profile config page? They're all unchecked by default. (When I first installed it I recall a default set of buttons showed up with the boxes unchecked, but it seems like it would be worth checking.)

4. Just to be sure--what web browser are you using? TinyMCE only really works in IEPC and Firefox (it's very broken in Safari, for example).

Hope this helps, might at least give you some inspiration as to where else to look for problems if nothing else.

"

>> YES I did. Without those steps, I won't be able to see those rich-tech controls (if you look on my previous post, I was able to see those rich controls when switching from:

"show only the listed pages" -> node/*
user/*
comment/*

To
"Show on every page except the listed pages" --> where page text area is beeing emptied
"
1. If you set "default state" to "false" and "Show disable/enable rich text editor toggle:" to "true," do you then see the "enable rich text" link under your text box form fields?"

Nope BUT the disable/enable rich text link was there when I switched to "Show on ever page except the listed pages"

To make it short, I would like to turn the rich controls on for all the node/*, user/*, or comment/*

Thanks

By default, tinymce was set to:

"Show on only the listed pages."

with

node/*
comment/*
user/*

In order for the tinymcs displaying on my website, I have to use the following configurations:

vi/node/*
en/node/*
vi/comment/*
en/comment/*
vi/user/*
en/user/*

Anyway, thank you for all of your help

Hiya - I'm trying to get TinyMCE working and I see people posting that I should look at my "basic setup" profile under Tiny MCE settings. I don't have this profile - when I go to /admin/settings/tinymce it says "No profile found - create a profile?"

Should I create one? Or did I do something wrong that causes it not list the basic setup profile?

There is no default profile, you have to create one.

i just noticed this myself. check your administrator user page and make sure and check this setting:

Roles:
contributing user (ckeck box)
moderating user (ckeck box)

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

For me, the problem just was that I had 'Safari browser warning' turned to 'true' in 'Basic Setup'... The TinyMCE icons didn't display.
Turning the Safari stuff to false, all is working correctly...

I installed tinymce according to the install.txt and made alterations according to some posts here, but it still doesn't show up on the edit pages. I do get a "disable (or enable) rich-text" link, but nothing happens if I click on it.

The source shows:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/mysite/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce_gzip.php">

I have Show on every page except the listed pages set, and the box is clear. Show disable/enable rich text editor toggle is true and so is the default state.

Don't know what to do anymore.
