Tinymce - Installed correctly but won't save changes

I think the reason no one has responded is that it is unlikely TinyMCE is causing the problem as you are describing it. What do mean by "it does not save"? Do you get an error when you click Save?

If you replace your text with "test", does it still displays the original text?

My guess is that certain tags are either being stripped by TinyMCE (script, iframe, object aren't allowed in the default configuration) AND/OR you have the Input type set to something other than Full HTML and aren't seeing you HTML changes displayed.

What have you done to try to figure out what the problem is?

If you disable TinyMCE, do nodes save normally then?

Scott,

I took a look at your site. The first page I tried to create I saw the problem you were describing. I wanted to know if it was limited to Page, so I tried to posting a Story and that worked. Then I tried Page again to see if I could figure out what was going on... AND THAT WORKED. I tried posting several more pages and stories in different browsers and platforms and they all seem to work.

Is it possible that there is an issue with TinyMCE on the first Page posted? I will look into that, but for now I think TinyMCE is working on your site.

Let me know if you have the non-post error again.

Host specific issues.

If anyone is interested (almost 2 years later)... I just had the same issue with Tinymce with WYSIWYG. It's probably not the same issue but it is the same problem, from the user's point of view.

I made a change to a page in Drupal (input format uses Tinymce editor, v3241). The changes I made would not save, either in Firefox or IE7. Then, I simply changed input format to use FCKeditor (v264) and the changes saved first time. Clearly, the problem was Tinymce.

I am experiencing the same problem with TinyMCE (latest version) through WYSIWYG module - the editor stopped saving my changes. The changes are saved under no rich text editor, though. Will try to install a different editor to see if the problem persists, but for the moment I don't have the slightest idea what may be causing this. If you have any suggestions what may be the reason I will be more than glad for those.

Here same problem...

TINYMce doesn't save what i wrote in the editor.... i get no error messages, just saying "node is updated" but after that, nothing is showing in the content!

Please change the status to 'active' when you wish to reopen closed issues or we [maintainers] won't notice them unless we happen to specifically search for status 'closed' or 'any'.

Any more info you can provide would be helpful.
Which browser(s) does this happen with? Have you tried the 6.x-2.x-dev module to see if the problem has already been fixed there?
Which type of content does this happen with? Any type, including a simple "Hello World!", or just when tables or something more complex is involved?

Does the editor correctly output the code? Ie, if you disable the editor do you see the correct code in the original textarea? If so, this is very unlikely to be an editor or Wyswiyg module problem. It's more likely that an input filter simply filters out the content when the node is viewed. If you make changes to a node, save it, view it [and it appears empty] and then edit it again [and the contents are still visible in edit-mode] this is definitely not an editor or Wysiwyg module problem. Many Input filters are configured to run when the node is viewed, and if any of them malfunction or are misconfigured, the node contents will not be rendered correctly.
Have you looked directly in the database to see if the code was saved at all, if so, it's yet another confirmation that this is a rendering problem.

Let's say we've confirmed that this is not a filter issue (like when no filters are enabled on the input format(s) being used).
If you type something in the editor, disable the editor and then submit it, does it still not show up? Then Wysiwyg module might not be able to catch the event fired when the form is submitted.
If you are using an AJAX module to submit the form without reloading the page, this is very likely to cause a problem as it won't fire the onSubmit event handlers which we rely on.
This can be confirmed by disabling the editor, typing "TEST CONTENT IN ORIGINAL TEXTAREA" in the original textarea, re-enable the editor, replace the text with "TEST CONTENT IN WYSIWYG EDITOR" and then submitting the form. If you get the first text, the editor never got a chance to move its contents back to the textarea before the form data was sent off to the server, so you got what was already in there.

Reassigning as the project tag has changed.

Sorry, this issue has been moved from tinymce.module, which used an entirely different integration approach, i.e. >90% of this issue is unrelated to Wysiwyg module.

I've just had the same problem. Upgrading to the latest version of the WYSIWYG editor and re-installing it, as well as downloading the latest version of the TinyMCE library has fixed it for me.
