Tried all WYSIWYG editors - none are working.

Post by TheSHEEEP »

Hey again,

Yes, that is basically my problem. I tried all three WYSIWYG editors and all of them end up not being shown at all when creating or editing an entry.
I always followed the installation guides, tried all the different relative paths - with "/", without, with "/tinymce", without, from "plugins/...", from before that, etc.
Of course, the WYSIWYG-option is enabled.

The closest I got with something was with the FCKeditor, when instead of showing an editor it showed the start page of my browser. Seemed like a file wasn't found, and when I tried with another path, I was back to showing no editor at all.

The good thing is that I most likely don't need them, since I might as well use the normal editor and switch to direct HTML when needed, but still...
Clueless here. :(

Disabled Javascript in the browser? Tried different browsers? Checked the permissions for the directories where you stored the files?

Hi!

So even the default WYSIWYG editor didn't show up? Did you enable the option to use WYSIWYG in your prersonal preferences? You might want to check that, and for the time being disable/deinstall the additional WYSWYIG plugins you installed.

Also, your browser's javascript error console or a tool like livehttpheaders/firebug might help to see which files get loaded and if any of them throw a 404.

HTH,

No.

No, but tried on different PCs with Firefox.
And since I always use Firefox, it just wouldn't be worth switching browsers just to get the other WYSIWYG editors.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. I installed the plugins and then uploaded TinyMCE/FCKeditor/etc. via ftp. Is there anything else to do?

Ah, I should've said that. The default editor shows up and works. That is basically why this issue is not THAT much of a problem. Still an issue I'd like to have resolved ;)

Thanks for the hint with Firebug, I'm using it now to debug. Currently testing the Xinha plugin and it seems like the plugin needs an internal plugin of xinha which is somehow not installed (enter-paragraphs plugin).

Edit:
Okay, after uploading said cinha-plugin myself, Firebug shows the following error:
plugin is not a constructor
http://myadress.eu//plugins/serendipity ... nhaCore.js
Line 3700
With TinyMCE, no error is shown in Firebug.

Now I'll try the FCKeditor...

Could always be a Firefox-only issue, especially if you're using a FF4 beta version.

I don't think so. Sometimes people get permission issues if they use the spartacus plugin, but install other plugin components manually. Depends on the web hoster's setup, too. If you uploaded the plugins manually via ftp as well, there should not be an issue with the permissions.

No, I don't use the Firefox beta... :(

I tried the FCKeditor again and it gets an 404 when trying this line:

Code: Select all

http://mysite.eu//plugins/serendipity_event_fckeditor/fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName=serendipity%5Bbody%5D&Toolbar=Default
Which is kinda strange since that fckeditor.html does exist. And in the specified path.
Also... what is with that "//" after the site address?

Hi!

Xinha is the new bundled editor for s9y, so you don't need the xinha event plugin for recent s9y versions any more.

About FCKEditor - did you check the package you uploaded if there is a fckeditor.html file in another directory maybe?

the "//" comes from two s9y variables that are appended and happesn when s9y is not installed in a subdirectory. But to the browser this doesn't matter, so you can ignore the double slash without a problem.

Regards,
Garvin

Ah, okay, so the default one you get when you select no special plugin already is Xinha?
