TinyMCE 3.3.2 problems in Evo 1.0.3

    Hi, I did an upgrade install from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3 and came across a couple of problems. Firstly, RTE toolbar did not display when using IE7. Fixed this with code changes provided in this forum.

    Next up, when launching the spellchecker, I got an error message "Please specify: spellchecker_rpc_url"

    So I hit the Moxiecode forums http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=10450 and changed the config.php file as recommended.
    The error remained.

    When I rolled back the TinyMCE plugin from 3.3.2 to 3.2.4.1 everything is working again. Spellchecker fine, RTE editor in IE7.

    My question is, is this the best way to deal with the problems or is there an additional/recommended fix for the spellchecker in 3.3.2?

    Thanks in advance.

    I’m using: MODx version 1.0.3, Version codename rev 6653, Database Version 5.0.89-community, PHP Version 5.2.12

      There seems to be a good method for 3.3.3 to operate spell checker.
      (it’s released yesterday)

        I’ve not had any of these problems with my 1.0.2 to 1.0.3 upgrade, but I have had a disappearing link list: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,45244.msg283667.html#msg283667

          yama, looks like a good patch for the 1.0.4 release which will be out WAY earlier than the 1.0.2 to 1.0.3 time span. Commit away please! smiley

            Another odd issue in TinyMCE 3.3.2 (evo 1.0.3): colors applied to heading tags via CSS classes are not previewing correctly in the WYSIWYG. I can apply the class successfully to paragraph tags and other block elements (color shows fine), but h1, h2 etc remain black. The classes are applied and render correctly on the webpage, but not in the WYSIWYG editor window. Any ideas?

              How are the headers specified in your site CSS? Keep in mind that TinyMCE only sees the content part, so any HTML markup outside of that won’t be applied (such as wrapper div IDs or classnames). For example, if your content tags look like this
              <div id="content">[*content*]</div>

              Then any CSS rules like
              #content h2{color:red;}

              would not be applied in the TinyMCE field, since it is unaware of the #content div.

              You can add specific CSS rules for the container and attributes that Tiny replaces the textarea with. 
              /* Site rules */
body {
   background: #000 url('somebg.gif');
}

/* TinyMCE specific rules */
body.mceContentBody {
   background: #FFF;
}

.mceContentBody h2 {
   color: red !important; /* FF requires a important here */
}

                Nope, just straight up class names applied directly to a heading element -- i.e. <h2 class="lightBlue"> where the CSS reads simply .lightblue {color:#83abe7 ...}

                I’ll try TinyMCE specific styles but haven’t had to do that in the past. The odd part was that before I upgraded the site the WYSIWYG was behaving fine, the problem only occurred after moving up to 3.3.2.

                  RTE toolbar did not display when using IE7.
                  Have had several reports of this as well.

                    What is the solution for the RTE toolbar not showing in IE7?

                    I think using the older TinyMCE version is a good backup plan.. right?

                      Hi onepack

                      the fix is at: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,47886.0.html

                      but... one of the major issues here is trying to explain the RTE upgrade in 1.0.3 to clients!

                      "It doesn’t work, it used to, but this is an upgrade!"

                      At the moment I’m back on 3.2.4.1 on most sites and this doesn’t cause any problems.

                      From a business perspective, it’s really difficult to justify a "flaky RTE" when this is the primary tool that clients use to update their site.

                      Phew!
