Tiny_mce plugin

Rails
1

Hi all,

I just installed the tiny_mce plugin and it works as advertised. But
I can not get any plugin for tinymce to work. They are all there,
they are installed, they load. But they do not appear.

I have MacBook Pro OS X 10.5.8, core2duo. Running XAMPP, and Ruby on
Rails 2.3.3, ruby 1.8.6 and using the latest Passenger on Apache.

Here is my controller code :

uses_tiny_mce :options => {
:theme => ‘advanced’,
:theme_advanced_resizing => true,
:plugins => %w{ table spellchecker
emotions },
:theme_advanced_resize_horizontal =>
false,
:theme_advanced_toolbar_location =>
‘top’
}

And…

in your application.html.erb (layout)

<%= include_tiny_mce_if_needed %>

in the view:
<%= f.text_area “content”, :class => ‘mceEditor’ %>

Do you know you don’t even need the tinymce plugin to get TinyMCE to
work out of the box?

Yes, this is exactly as I did it.

But as I do :plugins => %w{ table … }

They do not appear. If I use plugins, do I change the :theme to
something else ?

:plugins => %w{ table … }
Does not mean “table” option will appear.

You need to specify some of those “plugins” in another “options”, like
“:theme_advanced_buttons2”
uses_tiny_mce :options => {
:theme => ‘advanced’,
:theme_advanced_resizing => true,
:plugins => %w{ table spellchecker
emotions },
:theme_advanced_resize_horizontal =>
false,
:theme_advanced_buttons1 => %w
{tablecontrols separator ts_image media fullscreen},
:theme_advanced_toolbar_location =>
‘top’
}

etc…

here are more detailed usage:
uses_tiny_mce(:options => {:theme => ‘advanced’,
:theme_advanced_toolbar_location =>
“top”,
:theme_advanced_toolbar_align => “left”,
:theme_advanced_resizing => true,
:paste_auto_cleanup_on_paste => true,
:editor_selector => “text_body”,
:relative_urls => false,
:fullscreen_new_window => true,
:theme_advanced_statusbar_location =>
“bottom”,
:theme_advanced_buttons1 => %w{bullist
numlist separator bold italic underline strikethrough separator
forecolor backcolor},
:theme_advanced_buttons2 => %w
{tablecontrols separator ts_image media fullscreen},
:theme_advanced_buttons3 => %w
{justifyleft justifycenter justifyright justifyfull separator indent
outdent separator ltr rtl separator link unlink anchor separator undo
redo preview separator cut copy paste separator cleanup code},
:plugins => %w{ts_advimage inlinepopups
fullscreen table media directionality contextmenu paste advlink
advhr}},
:only => [:new, :edit, :update, :create])

Hi All,

I get now mostly everything working, except for 2 things.

If I press the table button, and add 2 rows and 2 columns, press
either insert or enter, and the window doesn’t go away.

Is there anyway I could get a picture picker instead of the image
window that comes up ?

The more pressing issue is the table one. If I go into html mode,
create a table and then leave the table mode, I do get a fully working
table.
Hope someone can help me with this.

Hi All,

I found this out. I had in the plugins set ‘image’ but it should have
been ‘advimage’ and now everything works as it should.

Thanks
