I'm new to Drupal and working my way through configuring an installation to migrate our community (www.the-town.org) over to Drupal from its existing patchwork of applications.
We need a WYSIWYG editor for our users, as most of them have a very hazy knowledge of tags. Reading through the forums, I see that it appears that the TinyMCE module is the preferred one for this, so I've been trying to install and configure it.
Here's what I've done, following the module instructions:
1. Downloaded the module and put the whole directory into the Drupal modules directory.
2. Downloaded TinyMCE 2.0 from http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ and put it inside module/tinymce
3. Loaded the database definition file.
4. Also downloaded and put in place the TinyMCE compressor as per instructions.
5. Enabled the TinyMCE module through the Drupal administration pages.
6. In Settings - TinyMCE, created a TinyMCE profile for 'Town Admin' and given it to the user role 'Town Admin' (ie, me and my partner). In that profile I set it to 'advanced' theme and to make TinyMCE visible on all text areas. I didn't change any of the Advanced theme options. I also set the default TinyMCE state to 'on'.
7. Gave the user role 'Town Admin' permission to administer and use TinyMCE in the Drupal Access Control.
