[bestempire]

Hello,

I have just upgraded to Joomla 1.5.12 today

What happened after upgrading is that Plugin TinyMCE DOESNOT work

When creating new article, TinyMCE isnot there

Does anyone else have the same problem?

Thanks

[tastrax]

Fine for me - there for a new article and editing existing articles.

Yep i got the same problem I didnt even notice intill i saw this thread and went and checked........

[skoobi]

As a temporary fix i have uploaded the 1.5.9 plugin for theTinyMCE editor.

[rburroughs]

There are a number of people having this problem. View forum article http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=431&t=410753 No one has come up with a definitive solution that I know of yet.

I have the same issue as bestempire but then with IE 7.

[thegioiphatminh]

Because you used "Custom CSS Classes".

Go to menu Extensions >> Plugins >> choose "Editor - TinyMCE 2.0" >> Clear "Custom CSS Classes".

And press [Save] button

Or, go to line 115 of [Joomla]/plugins/editors/tinymce.php

Replace

Code: Select all

$content_css = 'content_css : "'. $content_css_custom .'" ,';

by

Code: Select all

$content_css = 'content_css : "'. $content_css_custom .'"';

Good luck

I fixed this but going to:

Go to menu Extensions >> Plugins >> choose "Editor - TinyMCE 2.0" >> and setting Functionality to "Extended"

it was set to advanced, after switching it to extended all of my buttons came back.

[vickipayne]

I am having the issues with TinyMCE as well (with today's upgrade to Joomla 1.5.12) - on Firefox 3.0.11 and IE7. I changed the Functionality setting to Extended. That made more editing buttons appear, but changes are still not being saved. I did not test thoroughly, but I tried to change horizontal space on an image from 5 to 10. The change wasn't saved correctly - it changed horizontal space to 0. There are other image saving problems, too, though text seems to be saving all right with the Extended setting (haven't tested thoroughly, as I said). Another problem I see is that the text box widths (in the Article [Edit] section, still) are not formatting correctly. I don't know if it is affecting functionality, but it looks bad.

Please, if someone has a solution could you please post it? I have nearly 20 sites running 1.5, and I upgraded them all today.... should I download an earlier version of TinyMCE??

Thanks!!

Try turning off Code Cleanup.

There are 2 options for this to turn off. 1 for startup and 1 for save. Disable them both.

Go to menu Extensions >> Plugins >> choose "Editor - TinyMCE 2.0" >> then disable, Code Cleanup on Startup and Code Cleanup on Save

[vickipayne]

I appreciate the suggestion, Antihack. But I'm not sure that turning off Code Cleanup is a good option - though I just tested it and it does seem to fix the issue. We have a lot of web clients who are used to the wysiwyg cleanup behavior they've been seeing and I wonder if this will cause changes to any processes - embedding video, javascript, etc. or will cause some other new behavior. Also, are there any security issues with having code cleanup off?

Does anyone else have any ideas or comments on turning off code cleanup? My main concern, to repeat, is that TinyMCE is no longer saving the image parameters, as of the upgrade to Joomla 1.5.12 - our server specs are up-to-date and I've tested in different browsers with same result. Also, the upgrade makes some elements of the Articles pages in admin (edit and add) too large, overflowing out of the containing divs. Anyone else seeing that?

[bestempire]

Do you have any idea how to go back to previous version of TinyMCE since it didnot work after my trying of all suggestions

Many thanks

[skoobi]

Ive uploaded the plugin files from joomla 1.5.11 and that works fine....

[John666]

I have these problems too. I upgraded to 1.5.12 from 1.5.11 and now cannot save anything using Tinymice. The Save and Apply buttons just seem to do nothing. I changed to extended mode and got more buttons, and tried disabling "clean-up on save", but no difference.

Hi vickipayne, I'm facing the same problem with image setting saving: alignement and spacing are stripped by the editor TinyMCE. To solve this issue, go to Plugin Manager > Editor - TinyMCE and set the parameter Code cleanup on save to Never.
Now I open a new item in bug tracker, I think it's not normal that the editor strip this simple code

[Darkick]

I have another problem with new TinyMCE: absolute urls in images and mce_real_... attributes.
In previous version urls for images makes relative and mce_real_src attribute excluded from article before saving. In the new version it's not so, and I didn't find code for this in the plugin.

... go to line 115 of [Joomla]/plugins/editors/tinymce.php

Replace

Code: Select all

$content_css = 'content_css : "'. $content_css_custom .'" ,';

by

Code: Select all

$content_css = 'content_css : "'. $content_css_custom .'"';

Good luck

THANK YOU. This fixed my problem. Not only did this little coding snafu cause TinyMCE to break if anything was in the custom CSS class field, but since 1.5.12 doesn't see my editor.css if it's in the template root, the only way I can get my custom classes in the editor is to import them via the custom file path (in my case, /templates/my_template_name/css/editor.css).

Ive uploaded the plugin files from joomla 1.5.11 and that works fine....

Hi, can anyone else verify that this fix clears up the issues? If so, Skoobi, can you itemize what those files are so everyone will know which ones to upload, or better yet attach them here in a zip?

I have received reports today that code cleanup OFF is breaking tables and urls in some scenarios. I'm trying to duplicate this so I can submita bug. Is anyone else seeing problems with having code cleanup off?

[vickipayne]

Ive uploaded the plugin files from joomla 1.5.11 and that works fine....

I went ahead and tried this myself and it does appear to work. I downloaded a full version of 1.5.11 here - http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... ge_id=4556 (near bottom of page).

I then unzipped the file locally and re-zipped only the plugins/editors folder. Then I uploaded it to the plugins folder in a 1.5.12 build and extracted the zip. -- Note, I tried to attach the zip file here but it was over 500kb so I could not -- anyway, you should be able to do it from these instructions.

I've only tested it for a few minutes but it seems to be working great so far. I did not have to change any of the plugin settings so they are left at default with Functionality: Advanced and Code Cleanup on Startup: Off and Code Cleanup on Save: Always.

The only slight weirdness I saw was the text "Path:" or "Path:p" above the lower Image, Pagebreak and Readmore buttons, but this doesn't seem to be affecting anything. There may be some other language issues I haven't spotted yet.

I've only tested this on a test site so want to hear if anyone finds any other issues before I install on our live sites.

[vickipayne]

Well, here I am replying to my own posts again... I've discovered that with Plugins>Editor TinyMCE Functionality set to Extended and all Code Cleanup turned off, the Readmore is broken! I would like to know if everyone else is seeing this, it is quick to test....

This may be a new topic, I'm not sure - feel free to move if that's true.

[ste]

Hi vickipayne, could you write the link to your site to verify why the read more is broken?

[jdinse]

Yorb, your're right! I wonder why the css styles defined by editor.css of my own template are not included by TinyMCE. In plugins/tinymce.php the lines 130-157 seem a little bit strange to me. It looks like the editor.css of the template folder is never being used, but template.css and the system/css/editor.css file instead. ... Does that make any sense? Seems like a bug here.

I made a workaround using some code of the previous tinymce.php. First of all replace line 115 like thegioiphatminh wrote. Then replace line 132-146 with the following code:

Code: Select all

				$file_path = JPATH_SITE .'/templates/'. $template .'/css/';
				if ( !file_exists( $file_path .DS. 'editor.css' ) ) {
					$template = 'system';
				}

				$content_css = 'content_css : "' . JURI::root() .'templates/'. $template . '/css/editor.css"';

Now TinyMCE should show the css styles defined in your templates editor.css.

[vickipayne]

Hi vickipayne, could you write the link to your site to verify why the read more is broken?

Hi, ste - I've pm'd you with urls for 3 sites I've tested. The readmore issue has been confirmed now, but only on IE7 (I'm seeing it in FF 3.0.11 as well). There's a patch here http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... m_id=17073 - I tried it but did not see any change.

[bobcole]

On one of the other forums a solution was suggested: Clear your browser's cache.
Take a look at: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=430&t=416218
and scroll down toward the bottom, look for posts from "ebright" for the solution.
Worked for me with Safari and Firefox on my Mac.

[vickipayne]

Thanks, bobcole. No, I tried that early on and while I think clearing the cache helped some who were have Save and Apply issues, I found it didn't help some of the other problems, specifically the readmore behavior. Has anyone else found that when they add an article with 1.5.12 and insert a "Read More" break, the read more link does not appear in the frontend and the text both before and after the readmore break does appear?

The readmore also broken in 3 sites I've update. I temporary have to use JCE and use its readmore funcion. The default readmore keep taking me back to article manager page when click on it.

Greetings. I join a growing list, it seems, of Joomla 1.5.12 users who have recently upgraded only to discover that our WYSIWYG editor of choice has been rendered useless! This is not a disappointment. This is a major problem!

Rather than spend several more hours in clumsily fumbling around, working to overcome the severe limitations of the new, updated tinyMCE editor, I searched here for an alternative, such as reverting to J! 1.5.11. Imagine my horror when I discovered that there isn't available the appropriate kit for my purposes! All of the J! 1.5.11 kits have been removed!

My specific request is to obtain the relevant installation kit for upgrading from J! 1.5.8 to J! 1.5.11. Alternatively, If someone could point me in the right direction to correctly install the J! 1.5.11 tinyMCE component, I would be most grateful. In the meantime we can only hope and pray that the wrecked J! 1.5.12 tinyMCE component can be restored to operation, as it was in the earlier version.

Thank you.

As a temporary fix i have uploaded the 1.5.9 plugin for theTinyMCE editor.

This worked for me as well. Thank you for the suggestion. My errors with the latest version of Joomla (In the firefox console) are:

Code: Select all

[Exception... "Could not convert JavaScript argument" nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)" location: "JS frame :: https://mysite.com/media/system/js/mootools.js :: anonymous :: line 41" data: no]

and with this on the blue line:

Code: Select all

mootools.js(line 41)

and

Code: Select all

tinyMCE.activeEditor is undefined
submitbutton("save")index.php?option=com_content (line 409)
[Break on this error] }

and

Code: Select all

[Exception... "'JavaScript component does not have a method named: "cycleHeader"' when calling method: [nsITreeView::cycleHeader]" nsresult: "0x80570030 (NS_ERROR_XPC_JSOBJECT_HAS_NO_FUNCTION_NAMED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/tree.xml :: onxblclick :: line 1276" data: no]
submitbutton("apply")index.php?option=com_content (line 409)
[Break on this error] }

Just reporting what I have found. Hope this helps.
