TinyMCE plugin for v1.3.5

I uploaded the TinyMCE plugin from the downloads section to my fresh 1.3.5 install - but I don't know how to make it available. In the My Store configuration section - I only have HTMLAREA and NONE available as options.

When I go to "define pages", all I get is HTMLAREA. After uploading are there any other edits or something else I have to do? The download pages seems to indicate it's just upload and go.

Thanks.

did you upload the /admin/includes/init_includes/overrides/init_html_editor.php file?

If this file is uploaded, then the pulldown will include the additional editor choice, even though the My Store options won't include it.

Ugh - dumb mistake on my part. I changed the name of the admin directory for security purposes, and then uploaded the plugin to /admin where it couldn't be found.

Thanks for the reply, it jogged my brain to realize what I did wrong.

Thanks.

Hey doc or anyone who can help.

I just uploaded the FCKeditor and tinymce plugin to my 1.3.5 cart (which is a fresh install but including all my customised pages from 1.3.2) but have problems getting all the options that come with editor. I only see a box where I can type with no formating options at all. I am sure that this is not right.

Now after saying that, I have a quick question! in the download description for this (tinymce) plugin it says to

(If also uploading FCKeditor plugin, you WILL have to edit the /admin/includes/init_includes/overrides/init_html_editor.php and uncomment the lines for FCKeditor and TinyMCE )

What exactly is meant by

uncomment the lines for FCKeditor and TinyMCE

and also there is mention that you need to copy files over to the new path being catalog/editor/htmlarea as in the v1.3.2 the path for htmlarea is catalog/htmlarea

Which files are we talking about? and is this necessary if you are working on a fresh install with customised pages from a v1.3.2 cart?

Any help would be appreciated

What exactly is meant by uncomment the lines for FCKeditor and TinyMCE
this is the code from that file ant the redhighlighted // are the comment indicators...remove these the resemble the two above it to enable these after you have installed them.

  $editors_list['NONE']      = array('desc' => EDITOR_NONE,      'handler' => '',              'special_needs' => '');
  $editors_list['HTMLAREA']  = array('desc' => EDITOR_HTMLAREA,  'handler' => 'htmlarea.php',  'special_needs' => '');
//  $editors_list['FCKEDITOR'] = array('desc' => EDITOR_FCKEDITOR, 'handler' => 'fckeditor.php', 'special_needs' => '');
//  $editors_list['TINYMCE']   = array('desc' => EDITOR_TINYMCE,   'handler' => 'tinymce.php',   'special_needs' => '');
```So that it looks like this and save your edited copy to the /overides folder that is there.

$editors_list['NONE'] = array('desc' => EDITOR_NONE, 'handler' => '', 'special_needs' => '');
$editors_list['HTMLAREA'] = array('desc' => EDITOR_HTMLAREA, 'handler' => 'htmlarea.php', 'special_needs' => '');
$editors_list['FCKEDITOR'] = array('desc' => EDITOR_FCKEDITOR, 'handler' => 'fckeditor.php', 'special_needs' => '');
$editors_list['TINYMCE'] = array('desc' => EDITOR_TINYMCE, 'handler' => 'tinymce.php', 'special_needs' => '');

Thanks Kobra

Done!! Helped my problem!!

I've been trying to decypher instructions for getting some styles loaded intot he dropdown on the tinymce editor, could someone describe how I could get this styles dropdown to function like the fck editor does?

ok back again with the problem. uncommenting those lines allowed fckeditor to work but I when choose the tinymce editor I still have no HTML options available. Just comes up with a box to type in and thats it.

Anyone have any ideas???? Please

Oops take that back, it seems to be working now!! Go figure - Sorry!!!

Good to hear_

Hope there will be an choice for having TinyMCE as default in later versions, it's bad that we need to chose the editor every time we are writing something.. ;)

It's being considered.

Note, you only need to choose the choice once per login session. It remembers it across all screens.

BTW! An easy workaround "all" can do is of course to change some code in admin/includes/init_includes/overrides/init_html_editor.php

  $editors_list['NONE']      = array('desc' => EDITOR_NONE,      'handler' => '',              'special_needs' => '');
  $editors_list['HTMLAREA']  = array('desc' => EDITOR_HTMLAREA,  'handler' => 'htmlarea.php',  'special_needs' => '');
//  $editors_list['FCKEDITOR'] = array('desc' => EDITOR_FCKEDITOR, 'handler' => 'fckeditor.php', 'special_needs' => '');
  $editors_list['TINYMCE']   = array('desc' => EDITOR_TINYMCE,   'handler' => 'tinymce.php',   'special_needs' => '');

change to:

  $editors_list['NONE']      = array('desc' => EDITOR_NONE,      'handler' => '',              'special_needs' => '');
  $editors_list['HTMLAREA']  = array('desc' => EDITOR_TINYMCE,  'handler' => 'tinymce.php',  'special_needs' => '');
//  $editors_list['FCKEDITOR'] = array('desc' => EDITOR_FCKEDITOR, 'handler' => 'fckeditor.php', 'special_needs' => '');
//  $editors_list['TINYMCE']   = array('desc' => EDITOR_TINYMCE,   'handler' => 'tinymce.php',   'special_needs' => '');

Not the best solution, but it's something most of the users easy can do themself. :)

Ok, wasn't aware of that - it's makes life a little more easy.

I have been digging into the new Zen Cart v1.3.5, and testing some solutions to fix small workarounds - this is how I got TinyMCE as default editor.

Go to Admin -> Tools -> Install SQL Patches
Copy and past this code into the text field and click send:

UPDATE `configuration` SET `last_modified` = NULL ,
`use_function` = NULL ,
`set_function` = 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(''HTMLAREA'', ''TINYMCE'', ''NONE''),' ;

NOTE! If you want to use FCKeditor you need to add "FCKEDITOR" into the code, or replace "TINYMCE" with it.

Then go to Configuration -> My Store -> HTML Editor -> Change to TinyMCE / FCKeditor

Worked for me, hope it works for you to.

PS! REMEMBER BACKUP FIRST! ;)

Yes, this SQL hack of the configuration table will set your default preference as long as you don't override it by making an alternate choice in Admin->Config->My Store

You now speek about the code change first posted I guess?!
The SQL-patch will be better for all I think, and maybe the code-hack could be deleted from the tread? Sorry for being to fast publishing it, but I would have replaced it if it was possible to edit that post.. ;)

Rued, thank you for posting the sql fix to making an alternate default editor. I had been searching for a way to make FCKeditor the default one and I'm glad you had already been working on the problem. :)

Strangely enough, I just noticed that in my Admin > Tabbed Products Config area (I have the Tabbed Products mod installed) I see some rather curious options. For example:

Global Product Description Tab
Please make any necessary changes

Global Product Description Tab
Set this to 1 if you want all products to have the Main Product Description on its own tab

HTMLAREA
FCKEDITOR
NONE

So where there used to be a "0" and "1" I'm getting the HTML area configuration options! I suppose I could re-run the sql command and include options for 0, 1, and 2, but there must be a better fix somewhere along the line.

Oh, crap, I just realized that it affects more than just the Tabbed Products configuration, but a lot of core configuration options in admin. I would hold off on installing this sql patch for the time being...

I think you are missing a WHERE statement in your patch.
