Tinymce doesn't want to show changes you make in the text box while you're making them (like indents, lists, etc). Is there anything that is better that works with 4.7 like fckeditor?

You followed the install instructions and downloaded the cvs version, not the 4.6.0/released version, right? And you installed Xinha right?

What errors are you getting?

I'm new to Drupal, don't know anything about CVS or Xinha... do I need those to make it work? I hear CVS alot, what is it?

CVS is a versioning system for software. Any version of software for drupal that's isn't an offical release will be referred to as cvs. If you choose view releases from the htmlarea page I posted you'll see this: http://drupal.org/node/3253/release for 4.7 you'll need to use the cvs version of htmlarea.

Now, when you are installing modules, you should *always* read the INSTALL.txt that comes with it. In the install file for htmlarea it will explain that you have to install Xinha as a subfolder inside your htmlarea folder in modules for the module to work. It will also tell you where to get it.

just found this..

have CVS HTMLAREA and Xinha..

think its the best solution... tiny change code even if I put ind html code manually.. anf htmlarea just eats it..
BUT..

images.. i just cant get images to work. The path it sets up automaticaly is wrong... ie modules/htmlarea/plugins/UploadImage/popups/modules/htmlarea/plugins/UploadImage/popups/default.png for the preview area...

and if I try to upload it seems to work but in the image-url it shows: /modules/htmlarea/plugins/UploadImage/popups/?q=image/view/

what im i missing here

I use image assist. So I click over to full html, then enter my image, then click back to the wysiwyg editor and it works fine. I never tried to use htmlarea's image tool.

Some (eh.. most) of the contributors is completely n00bs in html.. so it has to be grapic interface

image assist is a graphical interface. It just requires that right before you choose it, you switch to html code, then right after you switch back. You don't actually do anything in the html code. Image assist does it for you.

-- Drupal 4.7.0 (Marvin Theme) + Xinha + htmlarea-cvs --

No htmlarea in comments and only appears for new forum posts but not even for new articles.

Module is activated and permissipn is granted for every authenticated user by default.

Any help appreciated.

I don't have your specific setup, but you'll want to check Textarea specific visibility settings in administer -> settings -> htmlarea to start with.

dundun commented

Show on every page except the listed pages -> On
Pages -> [empty]

But only user 1 can view htmlarea. Everyone else just see it when sending a forum message.

Weird isn't it?

anner commented

Do they have it turned on? You'll see it under my account in a section called "text area settings"

dundun’s picture

dundun commented

It's default for every user so everyone has it turned on.

BTW... I only can find a single option under Permissions -> htmlarea -> Upload images (on/off)

Is this correct? Shouldn't have another option in order to use or not to use htmlarea?

Thanks for your help-

anner commented

that's what I have. Those are all the settings I can think of, sorry I can't be of much more help.

Don't worry. I'll keep trying and should I can find a clue I will be posting here again.

Thank you anyway.

Well, I've found a Javascript error that could explain why htmlarea doesn't show as expected:

"addLoadEvent is not defined"

Following lines are missing in the header of the pages where htmlarea don't show:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/misc/drupal.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/misc/collapse.js"></script>

I finally had to add these lines to my template:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/misc/drupal.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/misc/collapse.js"></script>

Everything's working fine now.

I installed the nightly update of the CVS version of HTML Area for Drupal 4.7. The system works fine in IE 6.0 but doesnt seem to work for Firefox 1.5. I'm also getting Javascript Errors when I try to upload an image in IE with the ImageUpload plugin:

Line 11, 
Char 3
Code 0
/modules/htmlarea/Plugins/UploadImage/popups/insert_image.php

Having scanned the xinha site, I know that there have been CVS versions that work in Firefox 1.5 and IE and that other people on this forum have gotten both working.

Would anyone be willing to send me thier zipped xinha-nightly directory that they have working under both browsers with image uploading working correctly? If you have insert-image plugin working instead of upload-image, that would be ok too.

Thanks

Any update or news on FCKEditor for Drupal 4.7?

xamox commented

FCKEditor works for me on 4.7 (using FCKeditor CVS). I love it compared to tinyMCE. Make sure you follow the directions and keep in mind that FCKeditor isn't bundled with the module itself, you have to download it seperate. Make sure to read the directions packaged with FCKeditor module.
