TinyMCE Bug

Joey805 · 30.12.2004, 05:12

Hello all, I am using TinyMCE as my editor and I am havnig major problem or maybe a bug.

I have some HTML that I am trying to paste in from my older mambo site (1.09) into a new item on my new site (4.5.1a). On my old site, the code looks like this:

<P align=center>
<SCRIPT language=javascript src="http://www.photodex.com/presenter.js"></SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT>
PhotodexObject("ProShow","objectname","/shows/goodtimesroll.px",575,415);
PresenterControls("objectname",575);
</SCRIPT>
</P>
<P align=center><A href="troubleshooting.htm" target=_blank>Having problems
getting the show to play? Click here!</A> <BR><IMG alt="" hspace=0
src="http://www.getbentsportfishing.com/images/stories/tightlines2.jpg"
align=baseline border=0></P>

When I paste it into my new site using TinyMCE, and click save, this is what I get:

<p align="center"> </p><p align="center"><a href="troubleshooting.htm" target="_blank">Having problems getting the show to play? Click here!</a> <br /><img alt="" hspace="0" src="../../../../images/stories/tightlines2.jpg" align="baseline" border="0" /></p>

Can someone tell me what the heck is going on? It's like totally killing half of my code which messes my content up.

Thanks,

Joey

Turn off the editor to paste in forms/scripts. Tiny doesn't handle them well.

i see the ../../../ in url - is it caused by this script-bug thing? i got lot of problems with urls leading to my site, my mambo is located in subfolder - say it domain.pl/mambo - now when i type link in content i type it without http://domain.pl/mambo - onlu index.php?... and the rest of the link . but when i do so editor tends to randomly replace this link with ../../../index.php?blabla and so i have to edit html with tinyMCE or edit database dumps (its faster)

any idea?

Tiny MCE works fine - as long as you are not installing Mambo in any directory but the root. It counts too many "../" otherwise. This bug should be fixed because IF you have to move to another site, then it is a pain (ok, well an SQL update to replace the root of the URL.

To get around this set the global setting "relative_urls" to 'false' near the beginning of the program. The program is called "tiny_mce.js" (under mambots/editors/etc etc.

It is actually a good editor with some bugs.

i had the same bug, but could fix it to actually work. as a nice side effect, images display in editor mode now.
i went to

mambots/editors/tinymce.php

and changed the line

document_base_url : "$mosConfig_live_site/mambots/editors/tinymce/",
to
// document_base_url : "$mosConfig_live_site/mambots/editors/tinymce/",
document_base_url : "$mosConfig_live_site/",

(i use mambo 4.5.2. as i don't find no place to report bugs within the mambo site, i could not file it as bug)

Now editor works fine in front and backend, thanks!
