******************************************************************** D R U P A L M O D U L E ******************************************************************** Name: TinyMCE module Authors: Matt Westgate and Richard Bennett Dependancies: This module requires the third-party TinyMCE editor and a Javascript-enabled web browser. Currently it is known to work with Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Firefox and degrade gracefully for Safari and Konqueror users. A browser compatibility chart is here: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/wrapper.php?url=tinymce/docs/compatiblity.htm INSTALLATION: ******************************************************************** 1. Place the entire tinymce directory into your Drupal modules/ directory. 2. Download TinyMCE 1.44 from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tinymce/tinymce_1_44.zip Remember to uncompress the file and make sure the folder is named 'tinymce'. 3. Place the entire 'tinymce' folder inside your modules/tinymce directory. 4. Load the database definition file (tinymce.mysql) using the tool of your choice (e.g. phpmyadmin). For mysql and command line access use: mysql -u user -p drupal < tinymce.mysql Replace 'user' with the MySQL username, and 'drupal' with the database being used. 4. Enable this module by navigating to: administer > modules 5. Optionally, setup role based tinymce profiles via administer > settings > tinymce Create new content and see TinyMCE in action! README: ******************************************************************** Once TinyMCE is enabled, the default behavior is that all textareas will use TinyMCE for all users. The admin can change these defaults at administer > settings > tinymce For example, the default theme TinyMCE will use is called 'simple'. Themes control the functionality TinyMCE makes visible. It comes with 3 themes: 1) Simple - basic formatting 2) Default - basic formatting with lists and hyperlinks 3) Advanced - many many features. See a demo at http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/example_advanced.php?example=true The admin can choose what theme TinyMCE should be the default and user's can override this by editing their account (if they've been given permissions to do so). User's also have the option of disabling TinyMCE completely. The admin can also define which pages TinyMCE should be used on. This cannot be changed on a per user basis. DRUPAL PLUGINS FOR TINYMCE: ******************************************************************** NOTE: If you want to use img_assist with TinyMCE, you don't have to install a plugin. Just enable the img_assist module and click the photo icon that appears below each textarea. Located in the plugins directory are Drupal specific plugins for TinyMCE. Once you've downloaded and installed the TinyMCE engine, copy this plugins over the directory of TinyMCE (tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/). Most of these plugins will already be active if you use the 'advanced' theme for tinymce. See the documentation in each plugin folder for more details. CAVEATS ******************************************************************** By default, Drupal uses the 'Filtered HTML' input format for adding content to the site and this can create conflicts with TinyMCE. It's best when using this editor to use an input format that has all filters disabled. What I usually do is create an input format called 'Rich-text editing' and set that as the default format for roles which use TinyMCE exclusively. To modify your input formats go to: Administer > input formats > configure > configure filters TWEAKING THE TINYMCE THEME ******************************************************************** Developers have complete control over when and how tinymce is enabled for each textarea inside Drupal by creating a custom Drupal theme function. The following example assumes you're using a phptemplate based theme. Put the following function in your themes template.php file: /** * Customize a TinyMCE theme. * * @param init * An array of settings TinyMCE should invoke a theme. You may override any * of the TinyMCE settings. Details here: * * http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/wrapper.php?url=tinymce/docs/using.htm * * @param textarea_name * The name of the textarea TinyMCE wants to enable. * * @param theme_name * The default tinymce theme name to be enabled for this textarea. The * sitewide default is 'simple', but the user may also override this. * * @param is_running * A boolean flag that identifies id TinyMCE is currently running for this * request life cycle. It can be ignored. */ function phptemplate_tinymce_theme($init, $textarea_name, $theme_name, $is_running) { switch ($textarea_name) { // Disable tinymce for these textareas case 'log': case 'img_assist_pages': case 'caption': unset($init); break; // Force the 'simple' theme for some of the smaller textareas. case 'signature': case 'site_mission': case 'site_footer': case 'settings][access_pages': $init['theme'] = 'simple'; unset($init['theme_advanced_toolbar_location']); unset($init['theme_advanced_toolbar_align']); unset($init['theme_advanced_path_location']); unset($init['theme_advanced_blockformats']); unset($init['theme_advanced_styles']); break; } // Add some extra features when using the advanced theme. switch ($theme_name) { case 'advanced': $init['extended_valid_elements'] = 'a[href|target|name|title|onclick]'; $init['theme_advanced_buttons3_add_before'] = 'tablecontrols,separator'; $init['plugins'] = file_exists(drupal_get_path('module', 'tinymce'). '/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/drupalimage') ? 'drupalimage,table,emotions,print' : 'table,emotions,print'; $init['theme_advanced_buttons3_add'] = 'drupalimage,emotions,separator,print'; break; } // Always return $init; !! return $init; } If you study the above function you can see that tinymce can be completely disabled or you can even switch themes for a given textarea. See the TinyMCE manual for details on the parameters that can be sent to TinyMCE: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/wrapper.php?url=tinymce/docs/index.htm
