EditLive! 9 Documentation : TinyMCE Known Issues

Select Edit works with TinyMCE 3.x only.

This article outlines several known issues with Tiny support for TinyMCE.

Supported Load-Time Properties

TinyMCE supports the following load-time properties in the Select Edit APIs:

Supported Run-Time Functions

TinyMCE supports the following run-time functions in the Select Edit APIs:

TinyMCE Does Not Support AutoSubmit

Select Edit APIs do not currently support the setAutoSubmit Method.

TinyMCE Does Not Support Image Uploading

Image uploading is not supported when using the Select Edit APIs to instantiate TinyMCE in much the same way as EditLive!. Calling getBody Method or getDocument Method will not upload images. The uploadImages Method is not available for the Select Edit API instantiation of TinyMCE.

Supported Toolbar Buttons

Although the same EditLive! configuration file can be used to load either EditLive! or TinyMCE, not all of the toolbar buttons available to EditLive! will appear in TinyMCE.

The following list of EditLive! toolbar buttons are supported by TinyMCE, although being a different editor TinyMCE's equivalent toolbar buttons will present the functionality in a different manner. Not all of the shortcut keys for toolbar buttons in EditLive! will carry over to TinyMCE.

For more information on specifying toolbar buttons in your EditLive! configuration file, please consult the Setting Menu and Toolbar Items article.

TinyMCE Will Not Load if Track Changes or Tiny Comments are Specified in the Default Content

If the setDocument or setBody properties contain Track Changes information or Tiny Comments and setExpressEdit is set to attempt to display TinyMCE, the editor will not load.

Track Changes or Tiny Comments Inserted into TinyMCE at Run-Time Will Corrupt Content

If Track Changes content or Tiny Comments are inserted into TinyMCE once the editor has loaded (e.g. using the setBody or setDocument run-time functions) the content will be corrupted. We strongly advise you do not insert these formats into the editor.

XML Content and MathML

TinyMCE does not support XML, including most custom tags and MathML. MathML issues can be avoided by using the createEquationImage attribute of the <mathml> configuration file element. This generates an <img> tag instead of a <mathml> element and will not be corrupted by TinyMCE.

Configuration Files Can Not be Loaded from the Local File System

When using the setConfigurationFile property, you need to ensure the specified configuration file is loaded from a webserver. For example, if the page featuring TinyMCE is loaded using a file:/// URL and the argument passed to setConfigurationFile is relative, the configuration file will not load. Similarly, if the argument passed to setConfigurationFile uses the file:/// protocol, the configuration file will not load.

TinyMCE Is Not Supported In Inline Editing

Inline Editing currently does not support the TinyMCE Editor. If Inline Editing is enabled, the setExpressEdit property will be ignored and EditLive! will continue to be used in the inline editing sections.

Closing Inline Dialogs

The "Escape" key can be used to close all inline dialogs (even if there is no visible close button).
