test editor gone in new version 18-11-2003?

Moozie · Post by **Moozie** » Mon 1. Dec 2003, 04:01

I installed the 18-11 version fresh with the 2 patches.

And when I add content article "text w/image" I used to get a Word WYSIWYG editor. Where I could choose from functions from a menu bar. And I could toggle to code and back to the editor.

But...now this WYSIWYG editor is gone ??? and I only get a regular box to put some text in.

Can I get that WYSIWYG editor back some way?

Hello Moozie,

which Browser are you using?
WYSIWYG is available for IE 5.5+ only by default. The Mozilla Firebird supports this kind of editor from version 0.6.1 on, too. But the programmer (3rd parity) of the editor worked in a checkup cycle so the editor can be accessed only by IE 5.5+. Don't ask why.
Have you taken a look in the "phpwcms Bug Reports" forum? There were some bugs by the editor listed, maybe yours, too.

Cheers,
Florian

I use 6.0 browser. In fact I have 2 versions of phpwcms installed. And in the other one I see the WYSIWYG editor. In the new one I don't see it.

Could it have something to do with rights (chmod)?
I have all the files and dirs in
/include/inc_ext/htmlarea set to 777

Or is it an option that can be turned off? Like:
WYSIWYG ="0"; or so?

It's just gone...

No not what I know....

Well when you see the WYSIWYG editor you can use the bottom with <> to switch to seen the html code... but that is not your problem?

If you didn´t modified any of phpwcms code you could try to reupload all the files`(take a backup of phpwcms before you are doing it)... maybe that will help?

Copy the "old" conf.inc.php to the newly uploade files...

hope you understand my english.. I do my best...

No the problem is that I do not see all those buttons from that program html.area. In the source is an include of some .css and some .js to incude the buttons with which you can set text bold and change color and <> for toggle to code.

But on the page I onlu see a text box like I do at PLAIN TEXT. But in mode TEXT W/IMAGE there should be the editor.

I set all the files to 777. Nothing...

It's driving me nuts because in other versions (prior to version 18-11) it worked fine. In fact I don't see the difference since I have both versions installed (also version before 18-11).

Yes now it appears. Had something to do with the rights (chmod) of some files. Don't know yet which files ;-(

This is what I did:

1. Installed the latest version phpwcms
2. For testing I set all files and dirs to 777, all of it
3. I logged in the admin
4. Tried to ad a content article "text w/image"

.... and yes the WYSYWYG editor was back

Now I have to find out which file it is I have to chmod. 777 is not good for all files.
