Vanilla 1

Other Requirements (if any):

Comments

  • I installed TinyMCE and it's nice, except when I want to use Unicode accented characters it replaces them with question marks. How can I change this?

  • look on tinymce forum for an answer
    http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/search.php?search_id=1336026868

  • Well actually I did that, and TinyMCE is set to utilize UTF-8 encoding by default. I just did a test, turning off TinyMCE and guess what, the problem persists.

    So something has changed in Vanilla since 1.0.1 that turns accented characters like this--itarataÅ› cÄrthesÌ£v abhijñahÌ£ svarÄtÌ£--into question marks. Any idea what that might be? Is Unicode turned off in the header or something?

    DBH

  • well if u look at the header unicode is not there.
    I do not know how to enable it
    u should search this forum for it

  • I can't seem to get Vanillacons to work with TinyMCE. Is this expected?

    Any chance TinyMCE will come with some prepackaged smilies as well?

  • Hi, I'm trying to install this feature but I'm have no luck. I activated it in the 'Extensions' area, is there anything else I need to do? Do I need to use a specific style perhaps?

  • Read the readme.

  • Will this help you
    Its how to add language packs to tinymce
    http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:LanguagePack

  • Uploaded version 1.1 of Tinymce WYSIWYG editor.

  • Smilies added to the new version

  • Wow. That is fast. Thanks MySchizoBuddy!

    Another thing I noticed is after installing TinyMCE is that the line breaks in all the previous posts on the forum are missing. So any posts posted before TinyMCE has all the lines now run together. I supposed this is inevitable right?

  • no, it is because you were using html formatter that convert the new line in
    . The formatter use with this extension doesn't.

    First, Schizo, you change the way the extension force the use of its formatter. Replace line 120:$Context->StringManipulator->Formatters = array();<br />$Context->StringManipulator->GlobalFormatters = array();<br />$Context->Configuration['DEFAULT_FORMAT_TYPE'] = "Tinymce";<br />
    with if ( $Context->Session->UserID > 0 && $Context->Session->User->Permission('PERMISSION_HTML_ALLOWED') ) {<br /> //Make Tinymce formatter the only formatter available to post a new comment or to edit an old one<br /> $Context->Configuration['DEFAULT_FORMAT_TYPE'] = 'Tinymce';<br /> $Context->Session->User->DefaultFormatType = 'Tinymce';<br /> $Context->Session->User->Preferences['ShowFormatSelector'] = 0;<br />}
    the old post will still use the previous formatter.

    Then if you want to change the line by
    , not that interesting with WYSIWYG, you can set tinyMCE to do it (I think i read it in the doc) or add a nl2br function in the new formatter.

  • Tinymce by default disables nl2br
    stating that paragraphs should be used instead not br tags

  • Or you could use AutoP.

  • @ MySchizoBuddy:

    I agree,
    But still, you should change the way you force the use of your formatter. Until the are edited with tinyMCE, old post should be using the previous formatter, especially if the forum was using something else than a html formatter.

  • Thanks Dinoboff,

    Your suggestion works perfectly!

  • @ MySchizoBuddy:
    why the Tinymce editor bar cannot show in IE?
    But it can worked in firefox.

  • whats ue site

  • sorry, only use it in internal

  • In default.php Extension Name: Tinymce

    On this site Tinymce WYSIWYG editor.

    Can we get this updated please?

  • Version number changed from 1.1 to 1.2.

  • Here, it is shown that the actual version is 1.2. But I can only download 1.1...

  • You're quite right fseidl, there's a version mismatch between the extension and the add-ons site.

    Schiz, while you're at it, would you mind deleting the __MACOSX directory and the .DS_Store files from the archive when you next upload? They're bugging the hell out of me :P

  • Can't see it in IE either... :/

  • 11163.png
    If you are creating zip archives on a Mac,
    use DS_Store Cleaner on the folder before zipping it.

  • lipa whats ur website

  • I just installed this and found it works pretty well in Firefox (Mac). But I cannot get tinymce to appear at all in Safari (no surprises there) or MSIE 6 for Windows XP (big surprises there). Here's a tinymce browser compatibility chart that clearly shows support for MSIE 6 on Windows XP. But I am not seeing it appear! I double-checked all my files and everything was installed in the proper directories on my server -- but no surprises there because if I made such a mistake it wouldn't work in Firefox!

    So because tinymce supports Internet Explorer in Windows, and since I have found it not to work, I must assume something has gone awry with this Vanilla extension. I turned the extension off and then on, but that did not fix the problem.


    Yet another problem is that I am not seeing the Japanese translation appear, even though I properly installed the "ja" language pack for tinymce. I double check my installation path for each file in the /lang directories and everything is okay. But it's not showing up in Firfox even when I force the Vanilla interface to Japanese or when I force the browser encoding to Japanese.

    Thoughts?


    Thanks.

  • I'm looking into the IE issue

    as far as language is concerned you will have to ask that over at tinymce forum

  • Thanks for the fast reply.

    As to tinymce support, there is a forum but it appears that people with Japanese needs like mine are out of luck. And if you want support above what their forum offers, you have to pay for it with no guarantees they can solve your problem. Hmmm.

    Well, I look forward to hearing your IE test results.

    UPDATE: I have reported my FCKeditor thoughts here.

  • Uploaded version 1.3 of Tinymce.

  • Uploaded version 1.3.1 of Tinymce.

  • Uploaded version 1.3.2 of Tinymce.

  • ok unicode accented characters work now. There is a HorseShoe symbol. use that for accented characters

  • I just installed the addon however the width of the "Enter your comments" box is wider then my forum posts and it overlaps into the panel on the side. Is there anyway that I can change the width of the Tinymce window?

  • let me fix that.
    I think i know whats causing it

  • Uploaded version 1.3.3 of Tinymce.

  • Is there a trick to get this gadget to show up?
    I turned off QuickTags and don't have any other formatter active.

    Posted: Saturday, 7 April 2007 at 8:28PM

  • no trick. it should just work
    u did download Tinymce from moxiecode site right?

  • Wanderer, even if you did download tinycme and properly install it along side this Vanilla extension, if you are using Safari no trick in the world will make it show up. Also, if you used the same version of this extension I did, then it won't show up in MS Internet Explorer 6 for Windows either (I haven't yet tested version 1.3.3 to see if the IE bug is fixed).

  • Didn't realise it was 2.8Mb!
    It was still uploading in the background!

    Posted: Saturday, 7 April 2007 at 8:49PM

  • @ JDW: v1.3.3 seems to work in IE. At least worked in my case :]

  • That's good news, lipa. It's Saturday night here in Japan, and I don't have access to my Windows PC at work. So I will test this new version first thing on Monday and report back here.

  • Lots of promise with this gadget but it is flakey in Safari.

    Insert picture won't work
    Lists don't work
    Font size does not work
    Font color works with the picker but not the menu
    The smileys don't work

    If you resize the editor area you lose all the contents, not just the formatting, all the text too.

  • safari isn't supported. so ur bound to have problems
    Do the demos on tinymce site show same problem or not

  • # MySchizoBuddy
    It can worked in IE6&7, haha, thanks very much, you a very good man : p

  • I've now tested version 1.3.3 in MSIE 6 for WinXP. I also tested this new version again in the latest versions of Firefox and Safari for Mac (under OS 10.4.9). Here are my findings:

    1) tinymce is properly being disabled when the browser is Safari. Since tinymce is obviously not compatible with Safari, having it completely disabled like this is a good idea. (I therefore am not sure what Wanderer is talking about above when he says some parts of tinymce don't work in Safari, because I am not seeing any part of tinymce appear in Safari at all.)

    2) Under Firefox and IE, there appears to be an odd quirk with CommentLinks. Namely, the "Copy URL" menu now includes a third menu item "tinymce"! Selecting, "tinymce" works the same as if you selected "text." So clearly, this tinymce extension and CommentLinks need to talk to eachother better so that "tinymce" option in CommentLinks is removed.

    3) PreviewPost does not work with the tinymce extension in Firefox and IE. But Preview still works in Safari because tinymce auto-disables itself in Safari, allowing Preview to work fine again.

    4) It takes no less than twice for the tinymce icons to load in IE Windows than it does in Firefox Mac. And to think, I tested Firefox on a rather slow Mac and I tested IE on a fast Intel CoreDuo box! But I guess this is just yet another Microsoft bug out of that thousands that still exist for Internet Explorer.

    5) Japanese is still not appearing in Firefox Mac or IE Windows, despite the fact I have the tinymce "ja" pack properly installed on my server. (In contrast to tinymce, Japanese works fine FCKeditor.)

  • Commentlinks picks up formatters. Tinymce is a formatter. thats why its showing up there. Comment link should remove Tinymce and FCKeditor.
    yeah Preview post is incompatible with Tinymce. Didn't I actually mention somewhere how to make it work. I remember mentioning about preview post and fckeditor. Do a search.
    tinymce and fckeditor both have their own preview buttons us them instead.

    This foreign language thingy is getting annoying now.
    tinymce sucks. I can see the font dropdown menus in japanese, but the comment is not.

  • Ok added gzip compressor support.
    read the readme

  • Uploaded version 1.4 of Tinymce.

  • Uploaded version 1.4.1 of Tinymce.
