This is a v4.11.x site, I thought I should say that up front as v6.x/v7.x is likely very different in terms of implemenation of this sort of feature.

At the request of a client I recently ported the SimpleEditor to a Macro Property type which was actually much easier than I expected. Now the requirements have changed and they need simplified version of the TinyMce RTE.

I've successfully got this rendering in the UI and it is functional aside from a few quirks which actually relate to features I don't need at present so I can ignore them for now. The problem I have is that whilst the RTE renders and is functional the modal macro editor window cannot close due to a javascript error which is caused by the fact that tinyMCE.activeEditor is null in the plugins/tinymce3/insertMacro.aspx file.

Ordinarily I would assume that the activeEditor would be the editor which spawned the macro property editor and is now confused by the fact that we have introduced a new instance into the mix. I want to try and complete this without hacking the core if I can.

Here is my class for the property type:

public class RichTextEditor : TinyMCEWebControl, IMacroGuiRendering
  {
    protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
    {
      base.OnInit(e);
      base.Width = 200;
      this.config.Add("skin", "umbraco");
      this.config.Add("theme_umbraco_buttons1", "code,removeformat,separator,undo,redo,separator,bold,italic,separator,bullist,numlist,separator,link,unlink,anchor,separator,charmap");
      this.config.Add("theme_umbraco_buttons2", string.Empty);
      this.config.Add("theme_umbraco_buttons3", string.Empty);
      this.config.Add("plugins", "spellchecker");
    }
    public string Value
    {
      get
      {
        return this.Text;
      }
      set
      {
        this.Text = value;
      }
    }
    public bool ShowCaption
    {
      get
      {
        return true;
      }
    }
  }

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks, Simon
