[support] tinyMCE issue

Thu Aug 16 15:35:05 UTC 2007

I'd seriously consider just commenting out your javascript next to prove
its not something related to it.  It seems odd for a css problem for the
editor to dissapear. 

FYI:  if you know (or suspect you know the function name) the api docs
are a good place to look: http://api.drupal.org  Most of the functions
have good example code referenced. )

Good luck....

Dave

Well it didn't solve the problem.  I'm pretty sure it's something css so
i'm going to start hacking through that.

It did however get my script loading the way it should, and that makes
me happy.  I wish it was documented in a findable place (in otherwords
i'm not saying it's not there, but i searched for $scripts, scripts,
drupal_add_js which I suspected was needed all along etc and couldn't
find it anywhere)

Thanks for your help.  I'll report back whether it was a css thing or if
i need more help.

	Would move your javascript into the approprate place next. 

	In your theme, make sure that you have a template.php file which
contains the following, then remove the script tag from your theme. 

	function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) {
	drupal_add_js(path_to_theme().'/global.js','theme');
	}

	ok - just tested it - it's not the *{} css block.  it must be
something else in the theme, something i'm missing perhaps.

		New info: when i change my site to one of the default
themes it works, so it's something in my theme.  I'm a first time drupal
theme developer so i suppose that's not terribly surprising. 

		Relevant notes about my theme:
		I am including the following in my theme:
		<?php print $styles ?>
		<?php print $scripts ?>
		<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php print
base_path() . path_to_theme() ?>/global.js"></script>

		so that should be  including any required drupal css and
js
		(p.s. - i'm sure there's a way to get my custom
javascript into the scripts variable but i couldn't figure it out from
the documentation and the themes that i downloaded that used javascript
were all doing it this way.  i'd love to do it the proper way though)

		my javascript isn't doing anything that should break
these editors.  There's no styling in the css for textareas.  However
there is this global css declaration - I've gotten into the habit of
always setting this and then overriding when necessary because I've
found it makes my life easier.  It's the only thing i can think of that
might cause it, other than a block of php code i need to include that
i'm not:
		*{
		  margin:0px;
		  padding:0px;
		  font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
		  font-size: 12px;
		  line-height:19px;
		  color:#46403a;
		}

		specifically the margin and/or padding being set to 0 on
textareas... I wouldn't think that would mess it up, but it's all i've
come up with so far

planning on upgrading.  I will do this and get back to you.  I'm a long
time user of TinyMCE, so I ought to be able to figure this out quickly.

			Ok, having a simalar but not quite the same
issue with fckeditor.  with fckeditor i can edit the admin options.  I
realized with both that i have to enable them in roles so i did that.  I
also tried uploading them into /modules instead of sits/all/modules/ but
no change, still getting plain text in edit fields.  Any suggestions?
Drupal will be pretty much useless for me if I can't get wysiwyg working
(even though i hate it myself, the client can't handle it otherwise).
