TinyMCE not displayed for members.

[rokonkwo]

Submit Story plugin does not enable TinyMCE for members. It only shows a plain text area for the member. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

Thanks so much.

Its because some of the crucial TinyMCE stuff is located in the /admin

/admin/admin_include.php (somewhere around line 95) checks to see if the logged in user can access the AdminCP, if not, it 404 errors out while trying to include some files located within the /admin folder.

The front end "submit_story_tinyMCE_config.php (line 18) requires the above file, so when its envoked by a user that does not have admin access, that include fails which makes the tinyMCE not work for that user.

You can clone the /admin/admin_include.php file and call the cloned file admin_include2.php .. then edit that file and comment out the following code..

PHP Code:

    // Check access
    /* if (!$sm->user->can('ACCESS_ADMIN')){
        go_404();
    } */ 


then in the submit_story_tinyMCE_config.php, change the require_once path to use admin_include2.php instead of admin_include.php

Then your tinyMCE will work on the frontend.

I have made the changes in admin_include2.php (copied admin_include.php). And changed the submit_story_tinyMCE_config.php located in /plugins/submit_story/js/ and it did not work.

However, the code seems to be different from the example you showed here. Below is the line I have in version 4.6:

// Check access
/*if (!$sm->user->can('ACCESS_ADMIN') || !in_allowed_ip_adresses($sm->user->ip)) {
// go_404();
}*/

you are right on the admin privilege statement because when I log in as admin, the TinyMCE showed up.

Therefore spoonlabs have to fix this because TinyMCE is enabled for a group of members in the admin panel but these members cannot see it.

I hope they fix this issue because I am seeing it as a deception or rather a bug which I am sure Spoonlabs knows about this years ago.

Thanks so much

you might have to clear server cache to get it to work. I have this working on every customers site that uses the submit story plugin. Just did one of these the other day for someone that was having the same exact issue and theirs works just fine.

I do agree that it needs to be addressed tho. TinyMCE SHOULD be exposed to the frontend and not limited to the backend.

Hello:

I tried this again and below is what showed up in error log:

[26-Nov-2011 11:32:06] PHP Warning: require_once(/xxxxxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxx/plugins/submit_story/js/../../../admin/admin_include2.php) [<a href='function.require-once'>function.require-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /xxxxxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx/plugins/submit_story/js/submit_story_tinyMCE_config.php on line 20

I think I have more problem than I thought.

Thanks so much for all your endeavors to help. I very highly appreciate it.

did you change your /admin folder to another name?

Much after we noticed this we filed bug report here:
http://www.vivvo.net/forums/project.php?issueid=190

Problem in our case was hard-coded "admin" directory name which when we changed in the file as noted above it worked fine. Also applicable to trivia plugin.
