@lxer I don't know if the user receives all the HTML in the e-mail. Never tested that. Will look into that. Will also try to find a TinyMCE plugin to remove the empty tags.

Hope I can find the time to write a better TinyMCE solution next week. You guys gave me a lot of things I never thought of.

Hi, guys!

I've played around with this and I think I found a solution for the description validation problem mentioned a few posts earlier.

In _templates/publish-write.tpl, add the following lines

$('#submit').click(function()
{
   tinyMCE.triggerSave();
});

before this line

$("#publish_form").validate({

You should also be sure that you have

description: {required: true}, 

in the rules section (a few lines below, be sure to put it before poster_email: { required: true } if you've removed it).

Hope it helps!

Check the link to tiny_mce.js. On your demosite it's "js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js". Try

{/literal}{$BASE_URL}{literal}js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js

where you have the tiny_mce.js in the root js folder. Or try to hardcode (http:/...) the url.

@Links & Chronos thanks for you're fast reply!!! Greatly appreciated Also evertsemeijn for posting all the steps !

It's working at my test site. So I'm posting all the steps I've followed until now. Hopefully In chronical order.

1.
In root_templates/footer.tpl

replace

 </body></html>

with

 {literal}
    <script type="text/javascript" src="{/literal}{$BASE_URL}{literal}js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        tinyMCE.init({
            mode : "textareas",
            editor_selector : "mceEditor",
            theme: "advanced",
            plugins: "advhr,advimage,table,emotions,media,insertdatetime,directionality",
            theme_advanced_toolbar_align: "left",
            theme_advanced_toolbar_location: "top",
            theme_advanced_buttons1: "bold,italic,separator,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,separator,fontsizeselect,separator,bullist,numlist,separator,link,unlink,separator,undo,redo",
            theme_advanced_buttons2: "",
            theme_advanced_buttons3: "",
            height: "500px",
            width: "420px"
        });
    </script>
    {/literal}
</body>
</html>

2
In root_Templates/footer.tpl

I've changed the

<script type="text/javascript" src="{/literal}{$BASE_URL}{literal}js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>

with

<script type="text/javascript" src="{/literal}{$BASE_URL_ADMIN}{literal}js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>

3.
In root_includes/function.escape.php

$GLOBALS[$variable] = $db->real_escape_string(strip_tags($value));

with

$GLOBALS[$variable] = $db->real_escape_string(strip_tags($value,'<a><strong><em><ul><p><li><ol><span>'));

4.
In root_templates/publish-write.tpl
replace

id="description"

with

id="description" class="mceEditor"

5.
In root page_verify.php

$jobs['description'] = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), "<br />", $jobs['description']);

with

$jobs['description'] = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), "", $jobs['description']);

6.
In root_templates/publish-write.tpl
before this line

$("#publish_form").validate({

add this

$('#submit').click(function()
{
   tinyMCE.triggerSave();
});

7.
putting TinyMCE(package) copy/paste from the admin folder
root/js/

put the code around line 111
footer.tpl

{/literal}{$BASE_URL}{literal}js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js

instead of

{/literal}{$BASE_URL_ADMIN}{literal}js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js

Of course this is not perfect but it works for me now do you've got a comment on this I am willing to edit this post. Thanx again for the support!!

As a bonus I am sending the link for the Tiny MCE extra buttons
With thanks to Tokyoj http://www.jobberbase.com/forum/topic51 … ditor.html

In root_templates/footer.tpl

Buttons 1 for the first row
buttons 2 for the second row
Buttons 3 for the third row

add or replace in between ""

   theme_advanced_buttons1: "bold,italic,separator,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,separator,fontsizeselect,separator,bullist,numlist,separator,link,unlink,separator,undo,redo",
            theme_advanced_buttons2: "",
            theme_advanced_buttons3: "",
           

look at line 10 & 14 for the options
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/full.php

good luck!!

@chrisdegrote

I saw that in the tutorial you've integrated my fix for the description validation problem. Thus, you should remove step 6 because description: {required: true}, must remain in publish-write.tpl

That a problem within TinyMCE. Try downloading TinyMCE from their website and upload it to the original folder (default in de "admin/js" folder).

I tried making TinyMCE work in editing posts via Admin but the preview is not showing. What should I do? Its saving and showing TinyMCE in Admin Posts edit page nicely though.

wow, i just figure out ...

$GLOBALS[$variable] = $db->real_escape_string(strip_tags($value,'<a><strong><em><ul><li><ol><span><br><br/>'));

and add the following codes in tiny_MCE Init

force_br_newlines : true,
forced_root_block : '',

@sharma3361

I believe the solution posted by fineluck is okay. In my case I made <br /> instead of <br/>. It works now and It doesn't create a lot of whitespace. The second option I didn't implement because it works how I intended. (if I'm wrong please point that out to me)

However if you place a table on my site it gives a lot of whitespace before showing the table. In someway it adds a lot of <br/> tags (10 or more).

I've checked the TinyMCE forum http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/view … p?id=16805 and there I've found two solutions. The first one doesn't work fix_table_elements: 1 (I don't see any changes) The second one nl2br() seems the cause of the issue. I've looked the information up and it shows that when putting de data in the database it shouldn't be used because it will add <br /> tags. As I've read it should be used for pulling out the data of the database.

Can somebody tell me how to correct/change this?

Thanks

Chris

Maybe in page_job.php

Find:

//$info['description'] = nl2br($info['description']);
            $info['description'] = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), "<br />", $info['description']);

There is your <br />
Probably...
Try removing it and see what happens.

Hi there,

I've inserted the tinymce editor by these steps.

It works ok, but when I go to step 2 of placing an ad, the text won't show up...

What could this be?

I have TinyMCE installed in Jobberbase 1.8 but do not work in the Admin.
What should I do?

I've tried installing the tinymce-texteditor and followed the exact steps in this post
