Text editors

Ah well, I followed all the install directions above (double checking too) and it doesn't work for me.  I'm using version 1.9 beta, if that makes any difference.   If I select it as a theme, it works.  It does create horizontal scrollbars in the edit mode, though.   I just can't get it to work with my theme. 

The beginning of the script on the footer.html in the files I downloaded from the moxiecode site start with:

<script type=

It's a bit different that on your post.  Does that make a difference?

I'm seeing other posts indicating the need to edit other pages (weblib.php for example) so maybe I'm missing something, especially the php know-how.  Is this something that is just way over my head at this point?   From what I've seen on It looks like a great improvement.

Thanks again.

Copy this code from Glen's footer.html before </body> tag to your custom theme footer.php before </body> tag:

<?php
$zlib_on = ini_get('zlib.output_compression');

if (empty($zlib_on)) {
?>

You can find more info about init code from http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Configuration

( By the way the company that has released TinyMCE - Moxiecode Systems -  is located in Skellefteå, Sweden and also the other popular open source editor FCKEditor - future CKEditor - comes from Sweden...  )

Many thanks, I've got that working now, and a few other buttons that seem useful.

One that doesn't work though is the "add layer". Well it kind of works in that it appears whilst editing but it doesn't maintain its position relative to the rest of the web page content after saving. I am guessing that it is because it's a div element with some absolut positioning parameters and these change are no longer 'valid' when not in the editor?

If anyone has a solution, that would be very much appreciated.

Well he must have just updated it.  Removed the links and says he is no longer maintaining and points to a URL for the 'clean' install w/ 1.9.

That is too bad.  Oh well.
