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’ } Trausti ---

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 ? Trausti ---

: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]) On Aug 22, 1:54 pm, Trausti Thor J.

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. Trausti On Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 7:01 PM, Trausti Thor ---

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 Trausti On Sun, Aug 23, 2009 at 3:08 PM, Trausti Thor ---
