TinyMCE editor doesn't show during message composition roundcube

Question

I am working on a new project on roundcube and after long hours of sleepless nights managed to get all the necessary software installed and configured roundcube on the test server. I am able to log into the server and send and receive messages, but the problem is that I am unable to see the TinyMCE editor when I am composing the message.

The following parameter is enabled in the main.inc.php file:

// compose html formatted messages by default $rcmail_config['htmleditor'] = TRUE;

but still I am unable to find the editor. When I view the source of the loaded compose page, I am able to see the tiny_mce javascript file loaded which makes it even more confusing why the editor is not shown..

Am I missing something?? Please help...

Answer 1

Thank you for your information, but I tried what you said, it didn't work :(

However, the actual issue was that the tiny_mce editor js file was not found on the server. This I was able to confirm once I was the apache error logs. I uploaded the tiny_mce editor js file and now I am able to see the editor during composing a message.

You need to call a bit of javascript to amek the editor appear. Ideally there is something like the following script on your page:

<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
        // General options
        mode : "textareas",
        theme : "advanced"
});
</script>

This will transform all textareas on your page into tinymce instances.

There are many configuration options which allow to define what buttons you want to see where and much more... Here is a list of all possible configuration options.
