    TinyMCE version

    OK, the TinyMCE bundled with 4.7.1 is driving me mad. Embedding macros just does not work, our users just keep screwing the macro tags by accident, etc.

    So I decided to try to update to the latest TinyMCE by merging umbraco-specific changes. In theory, Umbraco 4.7.1 is running TinyMCE 3.4 but when comparing the code against 3.4... there are many files with undocumented and non-Umbraco-related changes...

    So I begin to seriously doubt Umbraco 4.7.1 is actually running TinyMCE 3.4 but maybe some sort of... I don't know.

    I really would like to get in touch with whoever did this (and looking at the commits, that would be Niels) : is there a way to figure out which version was actually used? Ie is there a TinyMCE version I can compare against to figure out changes?

    Or should I abandon all hope?

    I've setup a Mercurial repo with TinyMCE 3.4, then Umbraco's TinyMCE on a branch and TinyMCE 3.5 on another branch, then tried to do a 3-way merge on branches... and suddenly felt like crying ;-)

    Hi,

    Afraid I can't be of much help, but I did see this pull request from November updating TinyMCE to 3.4.7 - have you had a look at that to see how it works and/or see if it resolves the problems?  I've been planning to check it out to see if it resolves this firefox 11 issue.

    Hopefully someone else might have more details - I think it's about time for an update :)

    -Tom

    Was not aware of that pull request. Currently having a look.

    Have a prototype working with TinyMCE 3.5b1, currently updating to 3.5b2 that was released yesterday. The non-editable mode seems more stable to the point that macro placeholders can be set as non-editable and it seems to work.

    I can provide a zip archive to extract into Umbraco's umbraco_client. Anyone interested in helping test this?

    TinyMCE 3.5b2 drop-in replacement coming to you by email right now. Let me know how it works for you.

    Hi Stephen,

    Just wondered if there was any update on this TinyMCE upgrade you were working on?

    We're seeing a bug with TinyMCE and Firefox 11 which should be resolved in the 3.5b2 release. We'll also be willing to help test your TinyMCE 3.5b2 update if that's ok?

    Cheers,

    Andy

    Hi Andy,

    So far it's working well for me, I installed it on a small production site this morning - we'll see if anything comes up.  Also FYI Rodion posted a workaround of resizing your browser window after the edit screen loads if you need something temporary.

    I think Stephen is still looking for others to test, if he doesn't respond right away DM me your email on twitter and I'll shoot it over.

    Add this script in before body tag close

     

     jQuery(window).load( function() {
        jQuery(".mceEditor .mceLayout").each(function(i,ele){
         jQuery("#"+ele.id).css('width',jQuery("#"+ele.id).width()+10)
        });
        });

    vijayaprakash, that worked for me, thanks. I put it at the bottom of the script block in /umbraco/editContent.aspx.

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for the reply! I've deployed the jQuery workaround posted by vijayaprakash as a temp fix but I'm still very interested in getting TinyMCE updated as there are other bug fixes in that release. I've sent you a message on Twitter.

    Cheers,

    Andy

    I'm also desperate to get TinyMCE sorted out - it's taking ages to load editor pages atm

    Stephen,

    I'd be willing to test your TinyMCE 3.5b2 update.  I tried downloading TinyMCE 3.5b2 from TinyMCE's website, but I'm not sure how to customize it to work in Umbraco.

    Thanks!

    Jennifer

    I ran into the problem where only the first TinyMCE editor was functional. I also had background-color styles applied to the editor area, and those wouldn't show up either until the browser was resized. The javascript workaround posted above by vijayaprakash didn't quite do the trick for me. I think this was due to me having to navigate to a different tab before seeing the problem. I had to modify the code so that it would run after each tab switch:

    (function($) {
    function resizeFix() {
    $('.mceEditor .mceLayout').each(function(i, ele) {
    $(ele).css('width', $(ele).width() + 1);
    });
    }
    $(window).load(resizeFix);
    $('.header ul li a').click(resizeFix); // also run the resize fix when tab changes occur
    })(jQuery);

    I had to modify the bit from @george to apply the resize only to visible editors:

            (function($) {
                function resizeFix() {
                    $('.mceEditor .mceLayout:visible').each(function(i, ele) {
                        var nw = $("#"+ele.id).width()+1;
                        $("#"+ele.id).css('width', +nw+"px");
                    });
                }
                $(window).load(resizeFix);
                $('.header ul li a').click(resizeFix); // also run the resize fix when tab changes occur
            })(jQuery);
