I’ve had this idea for a while, but since I had no use for it I didn’t do anything with it. Another user on the forum posted details about him using a visual editor on his site but did not post details on how to do it. I do hope he posts it as a mod.
This mod is all about the free TinyMCE editor. It can be used to offer a very simple editor, or a complex editor like you would see on MS Word.
Installation and the actual modification are very simple. I should have done this long ago and if I knew it was this easy I would have.
Hi
I have been trying to impliment this. at first i thought there was a simple typo error with the path to the script
“”
when it should be
“script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript” src=”../tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js”>”
anyway this is what i interprited, copy the directory tinymce from the archive to the root of indexu. so i did ammend the path to but this didnt work either. Checked the html example that came with the archive and that worked! so i checked the example code and tested that in my indexu header.html but no matter what i do i cant get it to work, really anoying, :O
would the call to the tiny_mce.js work in say “add_form.html” instead of the header.html also
There was a typo in the path, because ../ would mean the javascript was in a subdirectory to the script. I’ve fixed the post.
Of course the directory you need to enter totally depends on where you install the script and needs to be adjusted manually, just like any script you install, including IndexU.
thankyou, the ../ was the problem.
the path lookslike this now
So combination of ../ and the extra directory “tinymce”
