Hi folks,
CiviCRM installed without a hitch. Nice.
I noticed description boxes that would normally have WYSIWYG editing where coming up with a 404 error in them.
Realising it couldn't find the WYSIWYG I found that setting in admin. I use JCE but there was no option for this. So my first question about usage is this: does it support JCE?

The two options were FCK and TinyMCE.
I don't have FCK installed, so I set it to TinyMCE.

Testing with the New Event page the description box no longer as the 404 error. I can put text in there. But there is no WYSIWYG controls. Is that normal? Should there not be some WYSIWYG control buttons for advanced formatting? Right now it's just a plain old multi-line text box.

With thanks,

Jonathan

No, CiviCRM cannot use JCE. The only two available are FCK and Tiny for use within Civi. (you can continue to use JCE for other Joomla functions/extensions).

Go to administer civicrm > global settings > resource urls and make sure that the location is correct. It sounds like your install is not finding the javascript libs.

Thanks. I'll check the resource locations.
I've also now noticed that drop down menus don't appear. I was filling out a test event in CiviEvent and it wouldn't let me continue past the Location page. It was saying I must select a valid Country. Then I looked closer and see the country field has instructions saying to select the country from a drop down list. There is no drop down.
Might this also be related to the Resource URLs?

Cheers,
Jonathan

Thanks for the help.

I've checked the BASEURL setting in the civicrm.settings.php file. It seems perfect.
I've also set this again in the admin location you told me.

Neither of things these has worked.
The Joomla install is in "/site"
The CiviCRM Resource URL is set to:

http://www.mydomain.com/site/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/
The CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL is set to:
http://www.mydomain.com/site/
Anything else I've over looked?

Cheers,

Jonathan

Take a look at:

administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/civicrm.config.php

It should have a single require_once statement pointing to the settings file for your civi installation. Check to make sure the full root path is correct.

This is what it points to:
/home/jonathan/public_html/site/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php

Which looks correct to me.
What else could be throwing this out? 

Cheers,
Jonathan

Did you check / verify this (in the user interface)? An invalid Resource URL value is the most likely issue. You can also view source on a page that has problems and look for the url's to the various .js and .css files used by CiviCRM. Then try those URL's in your browser's location bar to see if they bring up the files.

Thanks Icdweb and Dave.

Ok... that did the trick... Looking at the source code showed me that there was a space at the end of the Resource URL. 
I got rid of the space and all is well in the Kingdom of Jonathan. 

I really appreciate your persistence in helping me to sort this out. It has made my week. I need to get this set up and a few things running on it by Friday. It's nice to have people like you (and all the other people helping online) who freely assist other people. 

Thanks a lot...

PS. CiviCRM looks a lot prettier too... now that the style sheets are kicking in. I kinda wondered why it was so bland and poorly laid out before! Nice. All the icons have appeared too.

Nope. Currently CiviCRM only supports fckEditor and TinyMCE.
