Using TinyMCE Editor with Zen Cart

[emilio]

ok i managed to do myself cos this thread looks dead ...many unanswered questions.
Maybe i'm not so retarded as i thought huh....
after all i learn something...
everything is working now even the complete ibrowser and not only the insert image button.
Just i can't figure what does the filebrowsercallback stands for and how to implement it into zen if some compassionate soul could enlighten me whith some example i'd be grateful

thanks

Your host is probably running PHP under phpsuexec
The resized files being created by TinyMce ibrowser were being created under my username with permission 600. Since Apache runs as user "nobody", it could not access these files.

One would have to edit the upload script to add a chmod 644 directive. Unfortunately I have not figured out where or what to add exactly...

Thank for Your answer but I have changed those mode 777 as well... I'm starting to be littlebit desperate with issue... Is it possible that server causes this kind of problem?

Does your host have a function that will reset file permissions back to the main owner's account. A lot of CPanel's have this function you just have to look for it.

[FONT=Verdana]Hi,[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]I downloaded the Editor – TinyMCE Plugin v1.0 this morning, followed all exact instructions (twice), but have some weird problems:[/FONT]

• [FONT=Verdana]TinyMCE does show up in the Tools -> Define Pages Editor list (along with HTMLarea and FCKeditor2.5), but when I select it, “TinyMCE” stays in the listbox for about 2 seconds, then it reverts back to “HTMLarea”. When I open a page, however, TinyMCE is indeed the editor! Any idea why the listbox doesn’t just continue to display “TinyMCE”?[/FONT]
• [FONT=Verdana]Same thing happens when I go to Category pages – the box in top right shows all 3 editors, but when I select TinyMCE, it again displays HTMLarea after a 2-sec pause. This time, however, when I select a category to edit, the editor is HTMLarea and not TinyMCE.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]I looked through the various posts here, but they were all fairly old and none had a similar problem. And after reading them, and doing lots of experimenting, I still can’t get it to work right. Is there something I’m missing here? For instance, both HTMLarea and FCKeditor2.5 have folders in “mystore/editors”, but TinyMCE goes under “mystore/admin” instead. And there are both HTMLarea.php andFCKeditor.php files in “mystore/admin/includes” but no TinyMCE files.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]Anyway, any help you could provide here would really be appreciated![/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]Thanks![/FONT]

Installing the new TinyMCE has me scratching my head too. I have it successfully installed (I modified it to run from editors/) but the Image Manager feature is giving me hell with "Invalid base directory:
Notice: Use of undefined constant b - assumed 'b' in"

But anyway, rbobzin, did you complete the instructions from the readme file?

TinyMCE with ImageManager v1.0


About:
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is a combination of TinyMCE (with TinyMCE PHP compressor) and ImageManager third party plugin which is free. Have you experience the bad interface of textarea editor in Admin area of zencart? Originaly TinyMCE would not have image upload and image browse capabality when inserting image to document. This script will enable you to achieve that. I will not liable for this package and it comes without any warranty. Tested and worked with Zen-Cart v1.3.8a.


Package Contents:
---------------------------------------------------------------
TinyMCE version 3_0_6
ImageManager v1.1
TinyMCE PHP Compressor 2_0_1



Installation Instruction:
---------------------------------------------------------------
1. Extract inside /admin/ folder of the zencart, so that you will have /admin/tiny_mce

2. Copy and insert the following javascript codes in "define_pages_editor.php" inside /admin/ folder. Probably after the other javascripts and before the "</head>".

<!-- start of calls TinyMCE -->
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas",
theme : "advanced",
plugins : "safari,pagebreak,style,layer,table,save,advhr,advimage,advlink,emotions,iespell ,insertdatetime,preview,media,searchreplace,print,contextmenu,paste,directionali ty,fullscreen,noneditable,visualchars,nonbreaking,xhtmlxtras,template",
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "save,newdocument,|,bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,justifyleft,justifycen ter,justifyright,justifyfull,|,styleselect,formatselect,fontselect,fontsizeselec t",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "cut,copy,paste,pastetext,pasteword,|,search,replace,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent ,indent,blockquote,|,undo,redo,|,link,unlink,anchor,image,cleanup,help,code,|,in sertdate,inserttime,preview,|,forecolor,backcolor",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "tablecontrols,|,hr,removeformat,visualaid,|,sub,sup,|,charmap,emotions,iespell, media,advhr,|,print,|,ltr,rtl,|,fullscreen",
theme_advanced_buttons4 : "insertlayer,moveforward,movebackward,absolute,|,styleprops,|,cite,abbr,acronym, del,ins,attribs,|,visualchars,nonbreaking,template,pagebreak",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom",
theme_advanced_resizing : true,
extended_valid_elements : "a[name|href|target|title|onclick],img[class|src|border=0|alt|title|hspace|vspace|width|height|align|onmouseover|onmous eout|name],hr[class|width|size|noshade],font[face|size|color|style],span[class|align|style]",
template_external_list_url : "example_template_list.js",
file_browser_callback : "fileBrowserCallBack",
debug : false,
relative_urls : true,
document_base_url : "http://localhost/zencart/"
});
</script>
<!-- end of calls -->

<!-- start of calls IMAGE MANAGER for TinyMCE -->
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="tiny_mce/plugins/ImageManager/assets/dialog.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="tiny_mce/plugins/ImageManager/IMEStandalone.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var connector = "tiny_mce/plugins/ImageManager/manager.php";
base = "G:/htdocs/zencart/images";
path = '/zencart/images';
</script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="tiny_mce/plugins/ImageManager/tinycall.js"></script>
<!-- end of calls -->


3. Replace the 'document_base_url : "http://localhost/zencart/"' with your zencart site url. For example: document_base_url : "http://www.abcdefg.com/myshop/"

4. Replace the 'base = "G:/htdocs/zencart/images";' with your images folder (this folder must be writable to upload new image file). For example: base= "/home/abcdefg/public_html/myshop/images";

5. Replace 'path = '/zencart/images';' with your relative path to your image/upload folder. For example: path = '/myshop/images';

6. Save the edited "define_pages_editor.php". Login to the Admin area and go to "Tools"->"Define pages editor". Repeat the process for other pages which you want to use TinyMCE.


Optional Additional Installation Step:
---------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to utilize the TinyMCE compressor you can follow the steps which available at this site: http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/...Compressor/PHP

Personally, I do not recomend this especially if you still able to view the page with tinyMCE editor within reasonable amount of time. In addition, TinyMCE will be used only in admin area which will not be accessed massively.

Thanks for the quick response!

Yes, I followed the Readme instructions to the letter. I'm now considering to install it in /editors as described in the first post in this thread, but am wondering if this is OK in Zen Cart v1.3.8a, since the posting is several years old!

Any thoughts?

[newfu]

thanks

Hi:

I'm not sure this is the correct place for this post, but I did not find the official forum.

I have a quick question. I installed
TinyMCE Version: 2.1
Title : TinyMCE Editor v3.0.8 Plugin for Zen Cart v1.3.8a (EQUIPED with ImageManager Plugin)
Author : http://www.ferolen.com
Release: 19 May 2008

back in February. I have been using it since and had no problems even had the image manager working like a charm. However, yesterday I noticed that when I went to edit a product description or a define page, the textarea of the TinyMCE editor is blank. I switch editor in admin>configuration>store back to HTML editor and I can see it just fine.

The only thing new on the server is the recently installed security patch and a renamed admin. I then checked the cpanel error log and got this repeating line:
[Thu Jul 23 17:55:14 2009] [error] [client myIP] File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/ImageManager/lang/en.js

I then removed the patch completely and still get a blank.

Has anyone experienced this?
