SOLVED TinyMCE table plugin

Why is nothing ever simple.. 

I’m trying to get a table button in my TinyMCE for the manager (not web user).

Anyway.. I’ve read quite a few threads, such as this one: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,15787.0.html

It seems it should be simple..
1) Manage Resources -> Plugins -> TinyMCE -> Configuration Tab
2) select ’custom’ theme
3) Append ’table’ to Web Plugins list
4) Append ’tablecontrols’ to one of the Button lists

But still no joy.  Any magic words for me?

I’m using TinyMCE 3.2.0.1 in ModX 0.9.6.3

UPDATE:

So, it seems I had to change the TinyMCE settings in the Site Configuraiton -> Interface & Feaures tab too. Why is this not mentioned in wiki’s / docs?

And I set it in the ’Manage Users’ section for ’admin’ user too. So that’s three places to make the same change. Assume all three were required.

Jesus Christ! Thanks so much for this post! I was trying to set the this option for TinyMCE for 30 minutes already and I’d never get an idea to set it in 3 different places

you saved my ass thanks again!

glad someone else was helped by this!

The button and plugin settings under Manage Resources -> Plugins -> TinyMCE -> Configuration are for use on the front-end only. The wiki does say that the Web Theme, Web Plugins, and Web Buttons settings are used to set the theme, plugins, and buttons for a TinyMCE instance that is initiated as part of a TV widget on the front-end.

As for the Site Configuration and Manage Users settings, the ones under Site Configuration are global settings that apply to all users logged into the manager. You can override the global settings by setting them on a per-user basis under Manage Users, otherwise the default Site Configuration settings will be used.

So it’s not like there are really three different places you can set these settings. More like there are three sets of settings for different purposes. Does that make sense?

yeah, it sure clarifies things, thanks for that

but still. I’m pretty sure that after I’ve set global options in Site Configuration I still couldnt see the table options in TinyMCE. I could see them only after I’ve set this options in Manage Users -> Admin section

This was UBER helpful! Thanks!

This was very helpful.
Thanks a lot.

@chodorowicz: After the configuration is done in the Plugins -> TinyMCE -> Configuration all you have to do is set the Web Theme for the admin user to ’custom’ and leave the textboxes empty

Is this still working like that in Evo 1.0.4?

When I select TinyMCE Settings|Theme: Custom in Create/Edit User form,
buttons config for that user is from the MODx System configuration, not Plugin configuration...
