WYSIWYG editor not working

sagalyn · Post by **sagalyn** » Fri 5. Nov 2004, 01:54

I can't seem to get the WYSIWYG editor to work. Everything else is working fine. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have even tried chaning the config file to see if one would work and have tried Safari, Firefox 1b and IE 5.5 on 10.3.5.

Thanks in advance for you help!

What is your current selection?

$phpwcms["wysiwyg_editor"] = ?;

Currently it's 2, I had it on 1 and 3. None worked.

Well all that leaves is 4 --- *WINK*

All with same error message?

Is your phpWCMS version, the latest?

Selecting 'browser-based' (option 3) automatically launches SPAW editor in Win IE and HTMLArea editor in Win Firefox. Using Mac OSX Firefox, it automatically launches HTMLArea editor.

I have the same problem; no WYSIWYG editor, no matter what option I select.

some firewalls and javascript filters are blocking WYSIWYG editors because these are working kind like popups and also uses redirects...

...and install all patches.

Using v1.1-ro4. Pop-up blockers may explain Safari and Firefox, but not IE. Will try on a PC today. Also, My server has a wysiwyg edittor that works just fine. It's using WYSIWYGPro...

I have a clean install using Fantastico. My IE settings are low, I am using a Mac. I only have the mac software firewalll settings in place.

Fantastico is shit (sorry) and does not install a currect release. IE on Mac does not support WYSIWYG.

Sorry, for the missing info.

I used the latest version, did a fresh install, all permissions are right, this is on Win XP, not hosted, use Firefox, have ZoneAlarm, I tested it with both high and medium security settings.

I have other CMS scripts on the same PC and the WYSIWYG editors all get invoked both with IE and Firefox.

On my PC it the editor shows up with IE and options 1,2, and 3, but no option works with Firefox, which is my editor of choice.

then you do not have all patches installed.

Hmmm, that's an idea; Firefox does use popup blockers and adblock, JS is enabled, I tested it; however WYSIWYG editors do work with other scripts on my Win XP PC and Firefox.
