WYSIWYG editor woes :-/
May 12, 2010, 12:23:45 pm
Okay, I've got CiviCRM 3.1.3 running well in a Drupal 6.16 installation. I'm setting up my first CiviContribute form for the client, a self-serve membership form.

Under admin > global settings > site preferences I have CKEditor chosen for the WYSIWYG editor.

I go to Contributions > Contribution Pages > Manage Contributions > configure > Titles and Settings. The textareas for Introductory Message and Footer Message are missing in the form. Huh.

I go back to admin > global settings > site preferences, and select "Textarea" for the editor. I return to the Titles and Settings page and there's the textarea.

To experiment, I go back to site preferences and select TinyMCE, go back to the Titles and Settings page, and now there's...kind of a weird looking text area. The formatting is different than the straight textarea (per the previous paragraph), and there's a gray bar where the TinyMCE editing tool is obviously supposed to go. But it's not there.

So my choices are:

Textarea that appears to work just fine without a WYSIWYG editor
Textarea with space for a WYSIWYG editor but no editing buttons
A missing textarea

The Resource URLS are all correct. There's no example.com/www.example.com issue. The Directory Path and URL are correct. I'm not sure how to proceed from here. Help!

Given the lack of responses I guess I need to clarify: How do I go about making either the CKEditor (preferred) or TinyMCE editors appear on my Civicrm textareas? Thanks!

pbeakley :
You might wanna upgrade to 3.1.5 and check whether the problem still persists.

I'll work on the upgrade this week.

In other news, an interesting revelation: CKEditor appears just fine in any browser OTHER than IE8. Chrome, FF, Safari all show it just fine. It's an IE issue.

The thing is, I use CKEditor throughout the rest of my site (via with WYSIWYG module and the CKEditor library). So is that a CKEditor problem?  ???

OKAY! This is fixed. I'm posting for posterity.

I did not know that IE6/7/8 have a hard cap of about 31 loaded CSS files. While the rest of my site is just under that load, adding CiviCRM bumped it up just over 31. For development reasons I had .css compression turned off in Drupal. When I turned it on, that dropped the # of .css files being loaded, so now CiviCRM is able to load CKEditor's .css file.
