For me in safari it does disable itself.

JDW · April 2007

MySchizoBuddy,

Thank you for the test in Safari. I just checked again on my machine at work, and it still shows a blank field in Safari (for that FCKeditor demo). My Macintosh G4 Cube at home exhibits the same exact problem. But after that test, I tried a couple other Macs in the office and found they could show the line of text and the text in the field was editable! I then created a new user on my G4 Cube here at work and found that Safari under the new user works fine to show the field and edit text.

So I backed up /library/Cookies & /library/Safari & /library/Keychains, and then I Reset Safari -- that theoretically restores Safari into a pristine, clean condition. I then restarted Safari. Sadly, I still cannot see the line of text in the field or edit it -- same problem as before!

I don't have any Safari hacks installed, so I can't see what's wrong here. Very odd. I know that reinstalling my OS would fix the problem, since the new user worked fine. But I'd rather not do that.

I enabled the Debug menu in Safari so I could see the errors logs. The JavaScript Console log shows several lines with errors. Interestingly, when I switch users on this same Mac and load that FCKeditor demo page, the JavaScript Console log is blank. So clearly, I am only getting these Javascript errors under my primary user account for some mysterious reason. And sadly, Reset Safari doesn't fix this problem.

UPDATE: I quit Safari and trashed user/library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist . To my delight, upon restarting Safari and trying the FCKeditor demo, it works this time! I can now edit text in the field! (I must say that "Reset Safari" is a pathetic command in that it doesn't delete the plist file too!) Anyway, I'm quite pleased at this result.

I just tried TinyMCE in Safari 3 and it appears to work, at least much better than previously.
No exhaustive testing yet but it looks promising for those of you who want such a formatter.

One problem remains, after selecting text, it deselects when you select a menu to act on the text, not always just sometimes.

Has anyone seen the editor on Google Docs?

Now that's an editor and from what I have seen it works flawlessly on all browsers, which further convinces me that anything that breaks and blames the browser is just a combination of bad and ignorant coding.

Come now, that's like saying that any normal program that doesn't automatically work on Windows, Linux and OSX is badly or ignorantly coded... It's possible to account for all browsers, yes, but it's well known that Safari 2's JS isn't the best (unlike it's CSS support) and the people coding it only have so much time/only want to bloat the code so much. Anyway, since version 3 is nearly here, these arguments are mute and I guess we need a conditional kill-switch for Safari less than v3 :)

Much the same as FCKeditor, I've had a look at TinyMCE and it seems a lot of other people also bundle the whole thing up in one archive. So again, MSB shout if you don't want this beta version online - but here's the RAR (327KB) and the ZIP (562KB) file for brave souls who want to test :) It doesn't play nice with the js/css packer, but then neither does 1.4.1 either (I've left a note on the packer Google code site regarding this).

Yup, that's exactly what I'm saying but we're not talking about any normal program, just a browser.
And Safari 3 beta is here, lots of things that balked in version 2 are now playing nice with the beta of version 3.

In any case, now the iPhone has landed, much more attention will be drawn to such issues and "bad or ignorant" coders will not get away with stuff usually just accepted by the masses. They will be exposed and hopefully named and shamed. I love progress.

Why will the existance of the iPhone expose poor coding?

Wanderer · July 2007

Currently, the many poorly coded (non-compliant and rely on Exploder to work) sites that work with Exploder because it's not compliant are not an issue because the majority of visitors also use Exploder.

Enter the iPhone which uses Safari and the very compliant Webkit. These sites, instead of receiving a miniscule number of complaints from a perceived "niche" market sector will no longer be able to ignore the complaints.

It happened in Australia years ago when, as Mac users, we were ignored and denied access to internet banking. Many IT departments had a kick up the arse (ass?) when it was realised by management that many complaints were being cut off with replies such as "go away and get a PC with IE" if you want to bank online.

I understand it's a matter of numbers, now the numbers again are increasing, so will the complaints and hopefully positive action as a result.

It's not just "bad" coding but reliance on active-x and similar technologies that are proprietary, available only for Windblows and blindly ignorant of any other platform.

Deny all you like that the iPhone is a business tool, forget about its current version 1.0 shortcomings, they are being addressed and it's not the individual features that make it great it's the sum of all parts and the promise of new thinking that make it unique.

Imagine no longer being held captive by the minions in your IT department in league with Microsoft and its evil exchange server with its closed system and Windblows dependent ways.

The end of the dark side is imminent in many ways, this (the iPhone and its potential) is just another ally in the fight against those that keep true progress in shackles with closed, sub-standard, proclamatory, big-market-share smugness and I could go on but I just fell off my soap box.

Jeez, I thought M$ and Winblows expired when you hit puberty - I was wrong... *rolleyes*

Minisweeper · July 2007

No, Stash, You probably wern't... :D

Wanderer · July 2007

I joke around and you guys spit the dummy and take offense, I try to answer what looked like a serious question in a serious fashion and you guys joke around. *slaps forehead*

Winblows expires when you hit puberty, true enough. But it then changes to Windoze. It's no different than when we rip on those who prefer to design websites with Dreamweasel or GoWhere? instead of SoftPress Freeway. Bash what deserves bashing, I say! Age matters little when you're having fun. And you never know how many 70-year-olds are out there on the net doing just that, acting like pre-teens, trying to relive the past!

Now what in the world do the last 8 posts have to do with TinyMCE (the subject of this thread)? Sure, they're general talk about editors, but they have nothing at all to do with TinyMCE!

[-Stash-] · July 2007

You tried the all in one package JDW? :P

JDW · July 2007

No, because my current installation of FCKeditor works fine and I would rather use that now that TinyMCE (and yes, I installed and tested TinyMCE along side FCKeditor). But as I posted in the FCKeditor thread, we really need a new version that re-enables Safari because version 3 will most likely show all the icons now.

Anyone know how to enable a quote function in Vanilla that will work with TinyMCE and insert a previous post as a blockquote into the editor's window?

PlayGod · August 2007

I get the "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?" alert after hitting [Add your comments]. Any way to disable this when running the wysiwyg editors?

PlayGod · September 2007

Anyone have a fix for the "Navigate away??" bug?

[-Stash-] · September 2007

I've not encountered this myself. Have you got a link to your forum where this is happening?

PlayGod · September 2007

Stash, I could post a link, but of course you would have to sign up to participate. If you want, I will do that and approve your membership so you can have a look. http://www.svionline.org/svi/board/?CategoryID=4 (post in this category after approval) Vanilla 1.1.2 Tinymce 1.4.1 Attachments 2.1 Blog 1.1.3 Duplicate Email Check 1.0 Page Manager 2.5.1 Yellow Fade 0.1 Using Firefox 2.0.0.6 & IE 7.0.5... both give the same problem. This is confusing because the full message is: "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? The changes you made will be lost if you navigate away from this page. Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page." Cancel returns you to the page, but the "Add your comments" button of course has changed to "Wait...", so you can't submit the comment. My members are for sure going to be confused.

HT · September 2007

Hi everyone, I'm very new to Vanilla and PHP have no idea how to integrate Tinymce inside Vanilla page. I can't find the instruction anywhere. Can someone help me with this please. I already upload the file to Vanilla extension, now what php page in Vanilla should I include the code into, and where to put the code so the comment page can show the Tinymce panel. Thank you so much for your help

sstawarz · June 2008

I noticed that tinymce does work with safari 3. see the compatibility list. http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Compatibility in order to get it to work: one has to put webkit in the tinymce config found in the default.php line 109 browsers : "msie,gecko,opera,webkit",

help,how to add plugins such as media plugin

1stAngel · October 2008

DUH! I think I done something very wrong... I put on TinyMce and it works brilliantly except for one major problem... It wont link to images or links. I click to add a link or an image, I get the little box come up, I put in the URL to link or image and press insert...and nothing happens, just the URL disappears and the little box waits patiently for me to put another link in :( Now I know it must be something very simple I forgot to do but Im lost now...anyone able to help me please? I am NOT code savvy...

1stAngel · October 2008

S'ok I took it off and put on 'Make It Simple Text Formatter' instead. Now just need to set up a tutorial on how to use it for members LOL

sylviastuurman · December 2008

I have tried the FCKEditor, which works brilliant with the Quote add-on, but Internet Explorer 7 somehow "chops off" the area for the editor, so only half of it displays. Also, the FCKEditor seems rather bloated: lots of files. TinyMCE looks promising, and now I am trying to make the Quote add-on working with it. This should be rather easy: the quote.js of the add-on uses some FCKEditor-specific lines, which boil down to: FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('Body').InsertHtml(FCKeditorquote ) ; I went through the documentation for TinyMCE, but I could not find a similar function to retrieve the TineMCE instance (similar to FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('Body') ), and I can't find anything to insert HTML to the "textarea" of the editor as well. Is there someone here who knows more about TinyMCE?

sylviastuurman · December 2008

This add-on makes use of window.onload = function(){...} If any other add-on would use the same way of having Javascript code executed after the page has loaded, the last added add-on will overwrite this function. Isn't it an idea to use JQuery in such occasions, and use $(document).ready(function(){..}) to add a function to be executed after page loading? When all add-ons would stick to the ready function, they can't interfer with each other anymore.

Inserting YouTube media works well with add-ons: AutoLinks, QwikPost, FCKeditor. Using media plugin, allowing all elements for embed, inserting Flash, all codes are stripped (KSES or...). Is there any way to insert YouTube video with TinyMCE?

MiltonB2 · May 2009

Ok I found one solution in http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/7684/tinymce-and-youtube JQmedia works great

aminima · July 2009

Any body solved the colors and fonts problem? They looks fine in the editor, but when published, you don't see the color changes. Just Bold / Italic works.

I think this should be a problem with the theme, because the theme forces it's color to TinyMCE.

natchezjohn · August 2009

I have installed on three different domains and two different servers and still nothing happens.
Downloaded, placed in extensions folder, activated on site.
No effect on comments window??

Howdy, Stranger!
