TinyMCE WYSIWYG Plugin Feedback

This discussion is related to the Vanilla TinyMCE addon.

This is the initial version so it might be a little rough. TinyMCE is a tank! I'd appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!

I've got the joie theme installed and v2.03 and this isn't working. I get duplicate instances in my "plugins" options and cannot enable/disable correctly and it doesn't show on the discussion pages.

Make sure you apply this fix: http://github.com/dkobia/Garden/commit/db7a3187f7bb1ef1cf440c9a61b68d9c3336d891

I've alerted the devs to it.

I get the same problems. I use my own stylesheets.

1. I've updated class.headmodule.php
2. I see two entries listed for "Vanilla TinyMCE" in my plugins list
3. The second plugin list item only has an enable button, which doesn't work
4. I can't disable the plugin once its enabled
5. I also don't see a "Remove" button for the plugin
6. TinyMCE doesn't appear on any discussion pages
7. I switched back to the default Vanilla theme and it still doesn't work

Random feedback:

• The 'Description' setting in default.php doesn't need anchor tags

The duplicates of plugins in the menu, I found, is due to mis-matching names in the about file.

I have the same problem as kevinobvious. (just to let you know :) )

I've tried to enable this plugin too. But I've same problems as @kevinobvious . I'm not using any custom themes.

i have only one Q. it seems that now that ived configured and its working perfectly, tinyMCE is kinda the second instance of how you can add a comment.
now in any discussion I have above tinyMCE the default option to post a comment, and soon after I submit a comment above the wyswyg editor a new text box (the default one) is made visible as well?
what can i comment disable in order to have only the wyswyg?!
thanks

what's the problem

Allen

People, just rename /plugins/VanillaTinyMCE folder to /plugins/VanillaTinymce (no caps for last 3 letters) and it works.

Shame on windows-minded programmers )

I can confirm that @allen's solution works.

@dkobia

I have the same problem as Ebli.

1. When i post a comment with Tiny, a new text box appears. So, i have a normal text box + tiny editor box.

If you want to see it : http://uppix.net/8/4/5/0c12cbd4e4e2a341f2890c990b3da.png

2. When this plugin is enable, the full screen youtube mode is broken (not particular plugin for youtube, just vanilla 2 base).

This happens because of
$(parent).find('textarea').show();
in resetCommentForm() function at applications/vanila/js/dicsussion.js

Just find that line and comment it out

My file after editing :

var parent = $(sender).parents('div.CommentForm');
$(parent).find('li.Active').removeClass('Active');
$('a.WriteButton').parents('li').addClass('Active');
$(parent).find('div.Preview').remove();
(parent).find('textarea').show();
$('span.TinyProgress').remove();
}

Same thing happens after plugin réinstall.

I downloaded this plugin, and I spent an entire hour wondering why nothing was showing.

It turns out you named the JS file "tiny_mce.js" while in default.php you called it "tinymce.js".

Can there be a simple version, my users don't need a word style toolbar, really just need things like link, embed, and img.

Me too. I gave up on the plugin, but now it works for me....Yeah! thanks blasef

I'm glad that helped you. But this plugin still has a lot of bugs that I don't have time to fix, or even know how to.

1. A regular text box pops up ontop of the tinymce box when you click "Post Answer"
2. The tinymce box fails to appear when you click edit when you edit a conversation with more than 2 comments. Vanilla uses javascript to create a new textarea that TinyMCE fails to detect.

Can someone help find the fixes for these bugs?

adriansonline

yes blasef you are right. I am also having trouble now. I want to just add hyper link and image to simple mode. Does not seem easy to do... Unfortunately not many options right now for users...

adriansonline

Tip

line 43 in default.php should be
$mode = "advanced"; // simple/full/advanced

The word medium is incorrect

This is what I need too, and I cannot seem to modify it to work...I am close. Any hints would be welcome... I do not want advanced.

Abacus

The image link facility doesn't appear to be working?

this will not solve the problem
ived done several changes in vanilla\applications\vanilla\js\discussion.js :
115: //gdn.processTargets(json.Targets); -commented out
203: //gdn.processTargets(json.Targets); -commented out
272: just after: $(parent).find('span.TinyProgress').remove();

$('textarea[name="Comment/Body"]', container).tinymce({
theme : "simple" /*remember to change this to what theme youre using*/
}).hide();
window.setTimeout(function (){$('textarea[name="Comment/Body"]', container).hide()}, 100);

and then
vanilla\applications\vanilla\views\post\comment.php
just before line 25
$this->Form->SetFormValue('Body', $this->Comment->Body);
} /*from here*/
echo $this->Form->Open(array('ID' => 'Form_Comment'.($this->Comment->CommentID ? "_{$this->Comment->CommentID}" : '')));
echo $this->Form->Errors();
echo $this->Form->TextBox('Body', array('MultiLine' => TRUE, 'ID' => 'Form_Body'.($this->Comment->CommentID ? "_{$this->Comment->CommentID}" : '')));
echo "

\n";

and thats it. now you have a nice&beautiful tinymce up&working.

Thank you!, I was going crazy!

I have read this forum thread and tested this plugin. My conclusion is that this plugin is not really usable without massive patching of the Vanilla forum sources.

There is another TinyMCE plugin now:
