I'm trying to integrate a WYSIWYG into Geeklog. The purpose is so that average users without any knowledge of HTML can create basic static pages, stories and other content that look a little nicer than just text. I checked out HTMLArea, FCKeditor and TinyMCE and decided to go with TinyMCE because it loads the fastest and runs the options I want it to in both Firefox and IE.

My problem I have comes with the editing of text, specifically colors and font sizes. If TinyMCE is used to edit text in a story, any font size or color changes to that text aren't displayed. For example, if a block is set to be 20pt font and blue, it will look that way in the editor window but as soon as it is saved it will not save those changes. It will, however save other changes such as bold, underline and tables.

The weird thing is that it works perfectly fine with static pages. I can go in and use TinyMCE, change the font size and colors, save it and it works great. But for some reason in the stories no font or color changes are saved at all.

I have all of the html tags that are used by TinyMCE allowed in config.php in GL. I also have them correctly configured in the TinyMCE configuration. I at first thought that it was something with TinyMCE, so I went and installed FCKeditor but I had the exact same problem: I can save all editing just fine in static pages, but in stories it doesn't save color or font size changes. I tried deleting the font specifications in my CSS file but that didn't do anything. No matter what I seem to do, I can't get either TinyMCE or FCKeditor to save changes to text color and size in stories. It works great in static pages, but not in stories.

Does anyone have any idea why this is? Am I missing something somewhere in the config.php file that I need to change? I think it's really weird that it works in static pages and not in stories, plus since I get the same problem with both FCKeditor and TinyMCE I'm thinking it's something to do with my GL configuartion. Anybody have any thoughts?

Thanks.

My wild guess would be that in addition to adding a specific tag to config.php you need to assign an array of this tag features. E.g. if you add this to your config.php

it means that this tag won't be stripped during saving however any additional features like size, color etc. will be gone. I.e. you will need to add something like this to your config.php

And so on.

That did it, thanks! I didn't realize that the tag attributes also had to be put in there. It all works perfectly now. Though I still wonder why the attributes were stripped in the stories but not in static pages. Anyway, thanks again!

Go to Staticpages Editor and look for a message in red (hint: right below the biggest textarea). That's your answer

Both Arcanum & Robin: Would you help me on this issue?

Arcanum - are you loading the TinyMCE stuff in the header.thtml?

Robin and/or Arcanum - I have this 'b' => array(), in the config.php file (in the $_CONF['user_html'] array). Yet when I save anything with TinyMCE it strips the tags out.

What gives?
