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?
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?
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(); $Context->StringManipulator->GlobalFormatters = array(); $Context->Configuration['DEFAULT_FORMAT_TYPE'] = "Tinymce";
with if ( $Context->Session->UserID > 0 && $Context->Session->User->Permission('PERMISSION_HTML_ALLOWED') ) { //Make Tinymce formatter the only formatter available to post a new comment or to edit an old one $Context->Configuration['DEFAULT_FORMAT_TYPE'] = 'Tinymce'; $Context->Session->User->DefaultFormatType = 'Tinymce'; $Context->Session->User->Preferences['ShowFormatSelector'] = 0; } 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.
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.
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
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.
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.

stating that paragraphs should be used instead not br tags

why the Tinymce editor bar cannot show in IE?
But it can worked in firefox.
On this site Tinymce WYSIWYG editor.
Can we get this updated please?

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

Thoughts?
Thanks.
as far as language is concerned you will have to ask that over at tinymce forum

UPDATE: I have reported my FCKeditor thoughts here.
