22 Comments

• Hey, i just tryed your plugin. for me it does not work at all .. neither when i integrate your (bold) settings into my tinymce nor when i use your complete settings.
  
  is there anything more do to then editing the settings and pasting your folder into the plugins folder of tinymce?
  
  thx for help :)
  

• your examples do not work :(((
  

• They do work, but I have not include the SyntaxHighlighter, you need to install it.
  
  Can you tell me what exactly the problem, so I can help.
  

• The examples work but require some work because of UPPER/lowercase characters.
  For instance, change:
  
  theme_advanced_buttons3_add_before : "tablecontrols,CodeHighlighting"
  
  to:
  
  theme_advanced_buttons3_add_before : "tablecontrols,codehighlighting"
  

• Hi feelexit,
  
  You are using the mode :"exact"
  
  You either need to use mode : "textareas"  or you can still use the mode:"exact" but then you need to mention the element id like elements : "WYSIWYG", the example attached has a texarea element with id="WYSIWYG".
  
  
  Hope this helps
  
  

• Hi, I installed this plugin to test on my computer which has apache installed. It worked fine with Joomla. But when i did the exact same thing at my server, which also runs Apache, the icon didnt show up? What could be the reason?
  

• Hi Aditya,
  
  Can you give me a sample of what you did?
  

• Hi,
  
  Your sample has lot's of $variables, so I couldn't test it. All I can think of right now is the Theme. Try to use the advanced theme and check.
  
  Please let me know if this solves your problem.
  

• For tinymce 2.x please use this

• Hi Aditya,
  
  Can I access your site? I will try to debug it using Firebug.

• Ok sure. I can send you the login details of my site that runs on Joomla. What rights would you require to debug, so that I can create your seperate account? Also, kindly give me your email account, so that the details are safe
  Thanks & Regards
  Aditya.
  

• hi nawaf,
  Firstavail, thanks for this plugin :=)
  Unfortunately I can't manage to get it work. When I load the blog with tinymce, the tinymce dosen't load and the webdevelopper error console says:
  "Illegal character ï>>¿/**"
  (without the quotes)
  it looks like a encodification problem to me, but I can't solve it. I tried to eliminate the comment with your name (acording to the console it's where the problem is) but I had no luckkkkkkk.
  Any thoughts?
  thanks anyway for your time
  cheers

  Please let me know if this help you solve your problem

• hi Nawaf, thanx for answering, and sorry for wasting your time.
  I am an idiot: I am using version 2 of tinymce...
  I downloaded your plugin for this version and it works like a charm.
  I'll try to be smarter next time :)
  cheers
  

• Dear osdave,
  
  Never say that,
  
  Actually these type of mistakes only smart people fill into.
  

• Hi Victory,
  
  What you can do is to set the mode as mode:"exact" but then you need to mention the element id like elements : "WYSIWYG", the example attached has a texarea element with id="WYSIWYG".
  
  Hope this helps
  

• First of all, thanks for all you work.
  Secondly I wonder if it should highlight within TinyMCE or only on the output?
  
  I got the plugin to work and it does add a but it does not highlight inside TinyMCE as I hopped it will do.
  

• Hi Jeff,
  
  I have not really tried to test it. May be you could test it and tell us :)
  
  Thanks
  

• Hi, thanks for this great article.
  Does anybody know how to get it working within the b2Evolution framework?
  The extra layer of complexity has stumped me.
  Thanks!

• Super. Nice Plugin. Thanks nawaf227. :) :) :)
  

• Hi,
  
  for some reason tinymce keeps replacing (php open and close tags) with html ascii codes. example:
  
  <?php
  
  echo "test";
  
  ?>
  
  should be:
