WYSIWHG Editor Plugin Problem

Post by b1ackcr0w »

I've been trying to get Either XINHA or TinyMCE to work. But no joy as yet.

I've installed the event plugin, downloaded the files and unzipped them to my local machine, then ftp'd them to the right directory on the webserver. Then followed the instructions on the configuration page.

When I go to the editor, no buttons (there's the edit box in HTML mode, and all the serendipity controls) no WYSIWYG.

Things i've tried already:

Checked the WYSIWYG setting in personal settings = ON
mod_rewrite =Off (it sends my server freaky)
Paths to directory in configuration, checked and tried all I can think of.

Annoyingly, I actually really need a good WYSIWYG, because the standard one is playing up.

Help appreciated.

Hi!

In most cases, a misconfiguration of paths is the reason for this. Did you check your firefox error console to look for things like javascript errors about missing files/objects?

Try to use Firebug, the firefox debuggin console, that shows you which files s9y tries to load. There should be a call to get the Xinha/TinyMCE Javascript file. Check if that file returns a 404 Not Found message, and if it does, you simply can correct the path location to get the right path.

Best regards,
Garvin
