CMS Made Simple Forums

I am having a problem with TinyMCE deleting empty and also form hidden tagas, which is also an empty tag.
I have searched on the forum, and most post refereing to this are from 2005 and what they offer as solution, are not on the current version, for example to
change  these variables (with common tags) over to this values on /modules/TinyMCE/tinyconfig.php
another post states to make the changes on /modules/TinyMCE/TinyMCE.module.php
but such lines don't exist on either files.

the code is I did a text search for "extented_valid_elements" on the entire folder to see which files have these texts within them, and my search only brings 1 result  tiny_mce.js but it is 150 KB , all in 1 line script which is hard to read or make sense of anything
(I am using Notepad ++  and dreamweaver to read the file)

need orientation please

CMSMS 1.3
TinyMCE 2.4.0

I will really like for TinyMCE to leave my html just as I insert it, without validating, removing or fixing my html code.

thank you.

Upgrade to latest tiny then in tiny admin there are check boxes to tell it not to mess with your html etc....

Mind if I ask why you are putting html in the content edit box of tiny?...

I upgraded to tinyMCE to 2.4.2 which is the latest, but the same features, checkboxes in the CMSMS admin.
nothing new, same as before.

to answer your follow up question, the empty is being used in creating a personalized tag and the hidden filds are on a content page to use our own feedback/contact forms with an external php mailer, as we can't get the look we need with current modules as easy as with dreamweaver and pasting it.

I did a test with the 2.4.2 version, if I enter html code whatever tiny will change to whatever

I will love for tiny to leave as is, what I type holds without tiny to modify it.

any ideas to solve the original issue ?

So you checked these and it still strips your stuff out?...

First page: Apply source formatting to the output HTML:

Last tab: Force clean on paste:

Have you tried turning tiny off then submitting?...

How did you go jimeu? Have you tried the suggestions Mark put forward in his last post?

First page: Apply source formatting to the output HTML: Yes I has allways been checked and unchecked makes no difference
Last tab: Force clean on paste: Yes I has allways been checked and unchecked makes no difference

Have you tried turning tiny off then submitting?...
Yes, I did that, but when trying to edit it (which turns on the javascript / tiny) it will strip it again.

After counteless hours, here is what I did and it worked.

all post in the forum listed to change the values of these variables on a particular file (tinyconfig.php  & TinyMCE.module.php) but the files did not have it.
On the last page "advanced" the very last option has "Extra configuration" and I entered that code there.

voila !!  solved it for me.

Just wanted to say Thank You for posting your solution.

This has saved a whole lot of my time and frustration.

Hi there,

in TinyMCE 2.8.2 this worked, only I had to remove the 2nd line as it was preventing TinyMCE from working completely.

Thanks for sharing!
