TinyMCE editor for admin

Recommended Posts

This addon adds support for the TinyMCE editor within the admin section.

what does this addon do?

it will add the editor to the following textarea's 

category description, manufacturers description, product description

works with multi languages stores.

requirements
Phoenix

How to install

  1. Upload the files

yes it is easy as that.

no files need to be edited it uses the hook system, to add the code needed.

How to change what appears on the toolbars, and plugins used

Just go to the tinymce.php hook file

located at catalog\includes\hooks\admin\siteWide\

you will see a block of code for plugins (line 61)

and for toolbar 1 & 2 (line 67 & 68)

the settings provided are what i use myself.

Got an TinyMCE API key?

just change the script source (line 53)

How to add extra textarea's

example add TinyMCE to the order comments box

add orders.php  to (line 44)

like so

var $good_pages = ['categories.php', 'manufacturers.php', 'orders.php'];

then add the name of the textarea (comments) to the selector (line 52)

selector: 'textarea[name^="products_description"], textarea[name^="categories_description"],  textarea[name^="manufacturers_description"], textarea[name^="comments"]', // what textarea's do we want to load TinyMCE on

Thanks for your addon.
Easy and quick to install.
Installed locally on the test site Phoenix and added responsive_filemanager as a module.
It is very convenient to work, especially with images.

Many thanks for your reply - I can confirm that it does work on my clean install of 1.0.3.0.
So sorry for my mistake - it is a problem with my upgrade on old categories file. (shame face).

Have you figured out how the old add-on affected TinyMCE?  I had the same issue previously and it turned out the javascript of the other add-on loaded too early and thus the issue.

That's the advantage with the hook system that was used ( as well as using modules to add new features) , less chance of things going wrong. as well as so much simpler to install as well

I've managed to break all sorts of things in the past when installing / updating addons in the past.

 i will of course check against future releases of phoenix, to make sure everything still works

just tried it it works perfectly fine, just make sure you are uploading to the correct place

It does show up in the product description editor, like it should. It does work, as far as using the toolbar, but I have a problem where I cannot save the product with add-on installed. If I remove the add-on, everything works as it should. I just tested it on a brand new installation of phoenix on a different domain and your add-on is the only one installed, and it still does not work. If you create a new product, fill in every required field, and try to save, the button will not work.

it does do that for some unkown reason, on new products,, but is perfectly fine on existing products, and works on creating new categories

A quicker workaround is to use "Copy to" > "Duplicate product" of an existing product and then edit that.

Just from personal experience, in a prior job, people wanted to set up filled-in templates to make the creation of a new job easier. What I found was that there were so many details in the creation of that job, that inevitably people missed one (or more) details, resulting in the job having the 'default' template detail. Personally, I found it better to just create the new job from scratch, that way, unwanted details were not being accidentally entered.

That said, why doesn't TinyMCE work when entering a new product? What's the root-cause of the problem (instead of trying to find a patch)?

Just my two cents ...

Just from my personal experience, in a prior job, if personnel continually did not double check their data entry, they would inevitably end up with no job! :D
