[solved] TINYMCE disappeared after upgrade.. help!

[ellaissad]

Hi I upgraded from 1.4 to 1.41.. but now TinyMCE no longer works, it just doesn't show up.
I tried to overwrite all the 1.41 files (full package) again... remove the TinyMCE module and reinstalled. Didn't work.

I tried to use FCKeditor.. that didn't work neither. No Wysiwyg editor shows up at all.

Please help! really need to solve this asap ;-( client cannot update their site now

thanks!

- Check with System informations and try to change permission folder of TinyMCE 0777 or 0755
- After install check in user setting if Tiny is default editor
- If you have FF install Firebug addon and check for error
- ....

Thanks for your reply Alby.

I changed the permission of the TinyMCE folder to 777 (it was on 755).. didn't work.

I do have TinyMCE as default.

I installed Firebug, but it didn't seem to give me an error when I check and uncheck the "Turn WYSIWYG on/off" box. I don't really use this add-on but it didn't appear it prompts me with an error?

Please help.. ;( thanks

[ellaissad]

In IE6 though, it shows the error when check box is checked or unchecked:

It says

Line: 171
Char:1
Error: Object expected
Code: 0
URL: my_web_site_path/admin/editcontent.php?content_id=73&page=


I dont' know if this helps if at all...

In Firebug 1.2 you must enable (is active if you have a bug in right-bottom window)
Tiny is enable for default in edit page, if you have a error you see a red cross in bug icon without toggle on/off

Thanks Alby.

I see the firebug icon on the bottom right corner but no redcross so I know firebug is enable.

Do you mind to look at screenshot.. a bit easier to explain..

Strange, try to edit another page with a template with ONE content only (not other content blocks)

I tried.. but same result ;-(

[Dr.CSS]

Have you cleared all site cache and FTP to site and delete all 'files' in tmp not folders, all files in tmp/template_c except index.html and .htaccess, and modules may need 755/775 not 777...

Then uninstall, reinstall tiny...

[rvdv]

I keep coming back on the next solution:

In the tinymce module dir you see 2 files. tinyconfig_gz.php and tinyconfig.php

First open tinyconfig.php. You will see the next code starting on line 4 (default):

Code: Select all

$path = dirname(dirname(__FILE__));
if (file_exists($path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'include.php')) {
  require $path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'include.php';
} else {
	$path = dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)));
	require $path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'include.php';
}

Comment all these lines (or just remove them if u have a backup). And insert the next line:

Code: Select all

require '../../include.php';

I have had the same problem on different servers and this solution have always worked for me...

[ellaissad]

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried both options suggested by rvdv and mark. Both didn't work ;-(

Unfortunately, looks like I'll have to do the scary step to do a complete clean install.
I don't know much about programming etc, but it looks like its not the WYSIWYG issue because even after fresh installed on TinyMCE.. when I clicked on TinyMCE under Module, I don't see the editor box neither. I tried the other FCKeditor, same thing happened.....

I'll keep you guys posted. but please let me know if you do have another suggestions. Thank you very much for your help!

[ellaissad]

Ok.. this is completely insane!!

I did a totaly reinstall. Deleted mysql and reimport the old one.. and then run the install script (not upgrade)..
the TinyMCE still does NOT show up.. Please help!! I am so desperate right now!!

thanks
!

would you try to download the latest version of Tinymce from svn? FTP it to the modules folder directly, then go to the Tinymce page and key Control + F5. make sure Tinymce is the default editor on Global setting and User Preferences.

[ellaissad]

I downloaded 2.4.7 version from svn.. installed.. did the control f5 on tinymce page, didnt' see tinymce show up.
Tinymce is default and modified the files Rvdv suggested.. but still no hope!

Do i really need to remove absolutely ALL files and database, everything and reupload everything? ;-(


I also installed again FCKeditor just to see if its TInyMCE problem, nope.. FCKeditor didn't work neither. When I clicked on FCKeditor's page, in FF, it didn't show up. But in IE, it shows up and all the icons images are missing.. .maybe this means some path I might need to change???? (see attached)


Please help ;-(

[ellaissad]

Thanks everyone who had tried to help.

At the end, I had to remove ALL files, ALL database. Reupload, Reinstall and reimport mysql in order to have it all working again.
Nonetheless.. its working now!

Thanks again.
