Question

• I have initially installed and enabled the WysiwygPlugin and KupuContrib plugins. I have recently installed the TinyMCEPlugin plugin but cannot make it work (edit opens raw text editing, Wysiwyg opens the kupu editor).

• I've tried the following measures to no avail:
  • On the sitelevel preferences, removed the references to Kupu in the COMPOSER and the WYSWIYGPLUGIN_WYSIWYGSKIN flags.
  • Supply TinyMCE in the cover url (e.g.

    topicurl?cover=TinyMCE

    ).
  • Disable the WysiwygPlugin plugin.

• I was also wondering whether I should set the WYSIWYG_EXCLUDE flag to any specific value?

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

What happens if you start a new topic? At least in this case, TinyMCEPlugin should open even if WYSIWYG_EXCLUDE is set.

edit opens the raw TML editor, no trace of the TinyMCEPlugin editor (and I have enabled it in the Plugin section of the configure page).

It seems that on new topics the editor loads ok. It is only on some of the existing ones that it won't load. Doesn't seem as a cahce related issue as cleaning the cache did not help.

Have you updated the WysiwygPlugin recently? TinyMCEPlugin requires a fairly recent version to run. Any error messages in your web server log?

Ah right, so it does work for new topics? What is the WYSIWYG_EXCLUDE variable set to? Try to leave it empty for testing.

-- MartinKaufmann - 20 Sep 2007

I guess the fact that it switches itself off on some topics, is related to the following paragraph in TinyMCEPlugin: The editor automatically "switches itself off" (i.e. reverts to the old text-only window) when editing topics that contain TWiki content it can't handle, such as complex TWiki variables.

What actually makes a twiki variable to be a complex one?

-- EyalTeutsch - 20 Sep 2007

A TWiki variable is "complex" if it has parameters - for example %COMPLEX{...}% versus %SIMPLE%. The reason complex variables are distinguished is that the parameter values can contain HTML, which messes up the translator.

However the latest WysiwygPlugin should work 99% of the time with the WYSIWYG_EXCLUDE clear.

Hi, I have the same problem with TinyMCEPlugin? on TWiki 4.1. I tried all of the above suggestions but TinyMCEPlugin? wont open; not even with new topics. I have the latest WysiwygPlugin installed and InstalledPlugins? shows no errors but both Plugins as activated. Any further ideas?
