More detailed TinyMCE installation steps?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've never used TinyMCE, and would really like to get it working with 
Grappelli, but the "Using 
TinyMCE" wiki page doesn't produce any results for me. Could someone who's got 
it working maybe 
outline all the steps needed to get TinyMCE working? So I need django-tinymce 
installed?

Sorry for posting this as an issue, as it's not really that much of an issue, 
but this is the easiest way 
to get a Grappelli question answered by someone who knows their stuff. I'll try 
posting this in 
Django Users also.

Thanks,
Chris

there´s nothing else to do than what´s explained on the "using tinymce" page. 
you
just have to add the javascripts to your model.

what exactly is not working?
did you add the js to your model?
are you using the right paths?

what exactly is not working?
The TinyMCE widget isn't being displayed instead of the standard TextField's 
textarea.

did you add the js to your model?
Yes.

are you using the right paths?
This must be the problem. My ADMIN_MEDIA_ROOT is /media/admin/, and I'm 
referring to the scripts with 
this code:

class Media:
        js = ['/media/admin/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js', 
'/media/admin/tinymce_setup/tinymce_setup.js',]

Is there anything else that could be screwing this up?

Thanks for your help,
Chris

first, it´s easy to see if the paths are right/wrong with either using firebug 
or
entering the path/url into your browser.
that should solve the path/url-problem.

second, I can´t think of anything else that causes this issue.

btw: the attribute ADMIN_MEDIA_ROOT doesn´t exist. it´s either MEDIA_ROOT or
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX.

Yeah, sorry about the errors in my, I was tired. It actually seems that TinyMCE 
isn't even working in the help 
section where it's enabled by default (right?). Here's my settings.py, if that 
helps, but if you can't find a 
solution, don't worry.

it´s really hard to help you with the information you provide. e.g., you 
don´t tell
me where tinymce is installed (the path to tinymce). I have to guess that your
INSTALLED APP "tinymce" is django-tinymce (but maybe it´s not). and so on ...
the problem you´d like to solve is an easy one, but you have to understand 
what´s
happening in the first place. e.g., you have to understand how to serve static 
files
with and without django. you don´t even tell me if django handles your 
media-files or
not.
I don´t want to be cruel, but you have to understand the basics. then you´ll 
be able
to ask the right question and provide useful information in order to help. at 
that
point, it´s a question of minutes to guide you to the solution.

I´m closing this issue as "invalid", because it´s way out of scope to discuss 
this here.

thanks,
patrick

I had the same exact problem (TinyMCE not showing up, not even for the default 
Gappelli help section, even 
though I configured everything correctly), so I tried it out on Firefox. And it 
worked.

Looking into the tinymce_setup.js file, by default there's a restriction to use 
Gecko browsers (ie. Firefox) only. So 
I removed the line that says "browsers: "gecko"" and all was well. I also added 
"safari" to the list of plugins, as 
this plugin for TinyMCE includes some fixes for those on Webkit browsers.

This should be reopened.

The page http://code.google.com/p/django-grappelli/wiki/tinymce does not fully 
describe what is required to achieve the result in the screen capture.

It should let people know that _tinymce_setup.js_ used in the example can be 
found in the grappelli installation. My tinymce richedit looks nothing like the 
example because I did not know that grappelli shipped a default config / skin 
for tinymce.

It would also be helpful to let noobs know that /media/admin/ is served by a 
middleware when using the development server and not via what is specified in 
urls.conf for /media/.

updated the tinymce-wiki.

about the way /media/admin/ is being served: that´s definitely something a 
django-user should know (when using grappelli you should at least know some of 
the django basics and we can´t explain that here).
