Does anyone have experiance using TinyMCE in ROR? I am creating a CMS type of system. I need text areas that users can add formatted text and links. I installed TinyMCE and it works beautifully when a user is creating an item in a textarea, but when a user edits the item the textarea is no longer a TinyMCE editor - just a plain old text area. Does anyone know why, and how do I fix it so that when a user is editing a textarea item they can use TinyMCE? Other options besides TinyMCE is welcomed as well.

I managed to integrate it once, but it was much too bulky for my tastes. I really dug widgEditor, despite its crappy icons: http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/widgEditor/ I just found WYMeditor which looks *very* promising though: http://www.wymeditor.org/en/demo/ -- Rick Olson http://weblog.techno-weenie.net http://mephistoblog.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Rick, I tried widgeditor - seems buggy. Its OK, but now I am having the problem that when a user is first creating content the textfield does not let you enter text. But it works fine when you are editing information. Any suggestions? Michael, I could not get the TinyMCE plugin to install - any suggestions?

Any suggestions?Yea, if you look at comment #208 on the blog, I posted a workaround for it: ----------------- RE: 198 and 207 I added this to widgInit(), directly underneath the if (theTextarea.id == "") {} loop. if (theTextarea.innerHTML == '''') theTextarea.innerHTML = ''Enter content here.'' It just adds content if there is none. Not perfect, but I can now update my pages. ----------------- http://www.themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2005/01/27/ -- Rick Olson http://weblog.techno-weenie.net http://mephistoblog.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''m using TinyMCE also in a couple of projects of mine. But it has some strange behaviours, which makes it hard for a user to edit his text. Also it doesn''t react the same in Internet Explorer and Firefox, which is a bit annoying. I''m considering switching to BBCode, which is used very often on forums. I find it really easy, and it could be an alternative for TinyMCE.

Nick, Did you get tinymce to be able to edit content?

Sorry maybe I am confusing people. My problem is not that the text area is
not editable, my problem is that when a user creates content (with a create
action) for a page the tinymce editor works great, but when the user then
wants to edit that content (with an edit action) the text area is just a
plain text area - no tinymce editor - the content is displayed in the text
area with html tags.
I want the users to be able to use a tinymce editor to edit the content -
just like when they created it.
Am I making sense?
Code:
In Layout
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
src="../tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas",
theme : "advanced",
theme_advanced_buttons1 :
"bold,italic,underline,separator,bullist,numlist,link,
separator,preview",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
plugins : "preview"
});
In .rhtml partial (create and edit uses the same form)
<label for="description">Description:</label>
<%= text_area(''mod'',
''description'') %>
Thanks for any help.
