If you are having problems using our MOStlyCE WYSIWYG editor with your MiaCMS site, these tips may help....
- Make sure MiaCMS is installed correctly before adding components. Editors are components.
- Make sure you are using the correct version of MOStlyCE for your MiaCMS version and always run the latest version of MOStlyCE possible for your installation. MOStlyCE and it's updates can be downloaded here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mostlyce/
- Make sure mostlyce_config.php is writeable.
NOTE: the path for this is /mambots/editors/mostlyce/jscripts/tiny_mce - Check that your editor has been published - you can see this by checking in your components manager.
- Make sure you have selected the editor in your site's configuration. configuration.php must be writeable or you will get a message saying it is not (if it is not, then changes will not be saved!)
- Clear your browser and your site cache. If all else fails, try switching the editor to simple mode. You can change back to advanced mode if the change to simple mode works (sometimes site or browser caching stops changes to the editor configuration from being seen). To change between simple mode and advanced mode, go to MostlyCE Admin (you will find this under "components").
- Adding code that the editor changes? Any code you add should be entered into the editor in code view. Occasionally, the code you are trying to add conflicts with the editor settings - if this happens, just go to your site's configuration, change the editor to "no WYSIWYG editor", save. Then go back to your content item, add your code, and save. Once your code is entered and saved correctly, you can re-enable the WYSIWYG editor in your site configuration.
- Make sure you are accessing your MiaCMS administrator backend with the same URL you have set in the $mosConfig_live_site variable in configuration.php (i.e.) www or no www. Depending on your server setup, you may need to add the www subdomain to your $mosConfig_live_site variable. Not doing this will cause the editor to load possible produce a 'TinyMCE is not defined' error. This is normally caused by conflicts with domain aliasing on the server.
- Working with images:
To utilize the Image/File Manager in MOStlyCE (2.0+) you must install the MOStlyCE Admin component and follow the setup instructions found under Component->MOStlyCE Admin->Image Mgr tab.
If you still cannot get your editor working, please post a new forum message for assistance, making sure you let us know which version of MiaCMS you are using and which MOStlyCE version you are experiencing problems with.
Note: If you are running Mambo the same basic steps apply. We have ended development of MOStlyCE for Mambo and now only focus on MiaCMS. The last official version of MOStlyCE we released for Mambo was version 3.0.5. We can only support up to this version on Mambo. It does not appear the Mambo team has changed the default editor, updated the editor, and/or changed the name of their editor yet. I'm not sure if they will fork it yet or what, but in the meantime it is a bit confusing so I hope this helps clears things up.
