TinyMCE not working properly - Newbie

Vote:

I have upgraded an EPiServer solution from 5 SP2 to 6 R2.

After a lot of hassle tweeking the web.config and episerver.config the site (intranett) is now running - well almost.

The TinyMCE has issues:

1. The TinyMCE and TinyMCE dialogs have text/captions like this {#advimage_dlg.src}

2. The settings for the TinyMCE toolbars in admin mode does not show the toolbars or any buttons.

Clearly some references are missing, but I have yet not been able to figure out where/what this is.

It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction....

Regards

Petter

Sounds like you are missing some files in /lang
Has /Util been linked in correctly? Is /Util/Editor/tinymce/themes/advanced/img/icons.gif returning an image for instance?

Thanks for your advices

I have found the problem with the missing configuration of the TinyMCE in Admin mode:

When Epi was first installed the virtualPath was changed from ~/EPiServer/CMS/ to ~/cms/ to reduce the amount of text for the URL to access the edit and admin modes. Being new to this I'm not quite clear on how this works, but it seems that I lost one level in the "not working" configuration....

I have now reverted to the original settings and the config part of the TinyMCE works.

The lang files are still not picked up though....

Hi Johan

The virtualPath for Util looks like this:

And it (Util) is used in the "location path" tag and in the "site settings" tag.

There are no other references to Util in web.config or episerver.config. I have a demo site where the TinyMCE is translated correctly, and I have searched the config files for this site for differances that might be related to this, but no luck. I have also copied the lang folder of the demo site to my site without any luck.

There is obiously something I'm missing/not understanding.

First step is to check if C:\Program Files (x86)\EPiServer\CMS\6.1.379.0\application\util exists in your file system.

Also, which IIS are you running? If it's IIS7 make sure you have handlers in system.webServer in your Util-location-block in web.config. If it's Visual Studio Web Dev Server (Cassini) or IIS6 there should be httpHandlers in system.web instead.

Also try looking with Firebug or other dev tool to see which resource requests fails when you open a page for editing.

The Util path is valid.

I'm running IIS 7.5 and here is my system.webserver and Util location block.

The problem above was resolved by adding the missing cache settings:
