CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

first time poster here so hope I have placed this in the right topic folder.

For the following questions I am running CMS Made Simple 1.4.1 with TinyMCE 2.4.5, PHP 5.2.2 and MySQL 5.0.37 with Apache 2 within Firefox 2 and IE7.

I have 2 questions I hope you can help with to do with the TinyMCE Version 2.4.5 WYSIWYG Editor:

1. Whenever I try to add a space using either the space bar or the "no-break space" from the Character set popup window, the space appears as it should within the normal editor view, but viewing the HTML source only shows whitespace where I would have expected there to be " " code. This of course means there are no spaces on the rendered page.

To get the   to appear for each space, do I need to set something within the TinyMCE editor options or do I need to update a TinyMCE javascript file? I've tried looking in the TinyMCE module options but couldn't see anything obvious.


2. I've added tables to various pages but I never see the gridlines in the normal TinyMCE editor view. How do I make the gridlines appear within the TinyMCE Editor after adding a table? I just want this so that I can see exactly where the table cells will appear.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

I don't have the answar to your first question.

But to the second one you need to do this.

Select Extensions > TinyMCE WYSIWYG

Now select the advanced tab.
On this page you must select Include only screen CSS.

After doing this you should be able to see the gridlines.

Thanks soren. You were spot on! I wouldn't have thought of that being the option.

I also found the answer to my first question in the same area -

Select Extensions > TinyMCE WYSIWYG > Advanced

Then for "Encoding of entities" select "Named encoding (like  )" from the dropdown instead of "Raw encoding"
