Greetings:
New to Drupal...11-09-06-
v 4.7.4
Installed on WIN XP PRO with most recent versions of ApacheTriad Server, PHP, & mMysql.
Installation is complete. Runs fine as localhost...No problems. Basic configurations are done and it seems very stable. If it matters, I installed on local machine so I could work on the design etc with intent of porting it to my server eventully...
Sorry if this has been covered in previous posts...AND sorry for the meandering thread...
Searched the forum and couldn't really find an answer on point relative to this very specific installation instruction.
I am disappointed the vanilla text editor in Drupal...and want to upgrade to tinymce. Mambo installs tinymce as an option in the initial install...sweet. Btw the latest version of tinymce incorporates image upload etc. natively which previously were separate installs.
Sorta hit the wall with the installation of the tinymce editor (2.08):
Way Tnx in advance...
Mick
The link below and the downloaded pasted text from the page outlines the installation on Drupal.

Name: TinyMCE module
Maintainers: Theodore Serbinski and
Matt Westgate and
Jeff Robbins
Richard Bennett
Dependancies:
This module requires the third-party TinyMCE editor and a
Javascript-enabled web browser. Currently it is known to work
with Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Firefox and degrade gracefully
for Safari and Konqueror users. A browser compatibility chart is here:
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/tinymce/docs/compatiblity_chart.html
INSTALLATION:
********************************************************************
NOTE: During this installation process you'll be asked to also
install the official TinyMCE package from
tinymce.moxiecode.com.
Q#1: I'VE SEARCHED THIS SITE UP/DOWN/SIDEWAYS AND CONTINUOUS AND CANNOT FIND EVEN REFERENCE TO THIS DOWNLOAD "TinymMCE package" :).
1. Place the entire tinymce directory into your Drupal modules/
directory.
Q#2: AM I MISSING SOMETHING OBVIOUS HERE...IS THERE AN "OFFICIAL PACKAGE" AND IF SO WHERE MIGHT I FIND IT?
2. Download TinyMCE 2.0(actually 2.08 now) from
Remember to uncompress the file and make sure the folder is named
'tinymce'.
Q#3: I'VE DOWNLOADED AND UNCOMPRESSED THE (I'M ASSUMING THIS IS THE "ENGINE") FILE INTO A "tinymce" DIRECTORY WHICH I'VE COPIED TO "\drupal-4.7.4\modules" BUT THIS DOES NO GOOD WHATSOEVER...OF COURSE WHEN I GO TO ADMIN>MODULES 'tinymce' IS NOT AVAILABLE...AM I MISSING A STEP?
3. Place the entire 'tinymce' engine folder inside your modules/tinymce
directory. So the TinyMCE engine will live in modules/tinymce/tinymce
Q#4: CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE I TOOK THE WRONG PATH? DOIN'SUMTHIN' STUPIDO HERE...HOW DO I GET THE MODULE TO BE RECOGNIZED SO I CAN ENABLE AND CONFIG SETTINGS?
4. Enable this module by navigating to:
administer > modules
*note - all database tables will be automatically created during this step
Q#5: THIS IS WHERE I GET STUCK...NOT CLEAR HERE IF IT'S LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT I HAVEN'T DOWNLOADED? HELP...
5. Setup role based tinymce profiles via
administer > settings > tinymce
6. To boost the performance of TinyMCE, download the "TinyMCE compressor" from:
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/download.php
Place the tiny_mce_gzip.php file in
modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce
7. To use AJAX spell checking, download the spellchecker plugin:
(note: this requires TinyMCE 2.0.6+)
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/download.php
Extract this file to
modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/
Then edit config.php in plugins/spellchecker/:
Uncomment this line and comment out all other require_once's:
require_once("classes/TinyGoogleSpell.class.php"); // Google web service
Set this to true:
$spellCheckerConfig['enabled'] = true;
Enable spellchecker in TinyMCE settings page, under "buttons and plugins"
Create new content as a role that has TinyMCE permissions and see TinyMCE in
action!

Comments
Well I don't see where you say what the problem is.
Well I don't see where you say what the problem is but if I go to there site and try the samples, guess what they are not working either (at least in firefox).
Q#1: I'VE SEARCHED THIS SITE
your first problem was searching drupal.org for the tinymce package. as the note above this instruction states its at tinymce.moxiecode.com. There are licensing issues which doesnt allow it to be distributed within the tinymce.module available here at drupal.
step #1 : you first need to upload the tinymce module from drupal found in the downloads area here at drupal.org.
step #2 : then you upload the tinymce package from moxiecode.com into the tinymce odule folder that you upload in step#1
then you can enable tinymce in drupals adminster -> modules area.
the above should also answer Q# 2 - 5. considering they are all related to each other.
Yes...that fixed it...Thanks.
Thanks verymisunderstood...
The confusion arises from the fact that both zip file names are the same...
Something I might add: When configuring MAKE SURE of the following...I only wasted two hours until I came across this from user: xjm....
Administer->Settings->TinyMCE->Edit Profile->Visibility
Show tinymce on specific pages:
(*) Show on every page except the listed pages. ****especially***
( ) Show on only the listed pages.
( ) Show if the following PHP code returns TRUE (PHP-mode, experts only).
Pages: [box should be empty] ***and delete all entries here***
Tnx again,
Mick
