If you are tired of using the FreeTextboxAdapter or standard html textarea to edit your posts through the integrated dasBlog entry editor, you now have another choice in rich-text editors. I have completed an adapter that gives you access to the Moxiecode TinyMCE Editor.
a small example of the tinyMCE editor and some of the tools in the toolbar
The TinyMCE Editor has advanced support for xHTML compliant markup and accessibility minded markup. It supports all the features of FTB or even FCKEditor and supports almost all modern browsers and platforms. I have added support for most of the common button types, and if you feel particularly adventurous, you could add support for the image browser or file browser into your site.
Installation is a snap (copy some tinymce files, copy the .dll I provide, copy some caching files) with no need to compile any source. If you think you would like to try it, head on over to my new dasBlog add-ons, extensions and patches project page to get your copy.
Hi, thanks for posting this, I followed your installation instructions and all is fine until last bit: when I go to add entry the editor isn't displayed - just a standard textbox, and I get a javascript error:
tinyMCE is not defined
EditEntry.aspx, line 216: tinyMCE.init({
I'm using dasBlog 1.9 and tinyMCE 2.09
Any ideas what might be causing this? Is there a step you missed on the instructions??
You are welcome.
Let me look today. How strange. I thought I captured the entire bit.
looking at the source there is a script block with tinyMCE_GZ.init({ and then another one with tinyMCE.init({
Should the _GZ one be a replacement rather than an addition?
before those there is a link to tiny_mce_gzip.js but not to tiny_mce.js.
Thanks for your help!

Well, the normal tiny_mce.js doesn't perform well. So poorly infact that I modified the script to rely on the gzip version only.
There should be 2 init blocks just like you show. The first one is directives to the caching script, the second to the actual tiny_mce script.
Just to make sure, you also installed the .net caching script available from MoxyCode right?
Did you see my notes about disabling gzip too? I couldn't get it to work on my IIS, but you might have better luck.
Ill run through my instructions again over lunchtime :D
Just to confirm, I did try to install it fresh and there is a problem.
Sorry about this! I will look into it tomorrow > 1/26/07
Turns out I had to make some mods to the compression script for TinyMCE to get it to work with dasBlog. You need to use that instead of the original TinyMCE Compression scripts.
Just overwrite the 2 files with mine.
Get it from the TinyMCEeditor adapter page.
I have also updated the instructions in the original download now :D
Thanks for pointing this out Rob!
Works like a dream now!
Thanks very much for your help, and for sharing all the great work you're doing on dasBlog. It's much appreciated.
