Django / TinyMCE Editor not working


I am using Django 1.8 with Python2.7. I have Installed TinyMCE using command "pip install django-tinymce" and included 'tinymcy' app in INSTALLED_APPS.

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'tinymce',
    ...
)

Included in Project URL: urls.py

url(r'^tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),

TinyMCE Configuration in Settings.py File

TINYMCE_JS_URL = os.path.join(STATIC_PATH,"django-tinymce-master/tinymce/media/tiny_mce/tiny_mce_src.js")


TINYMCE_JS_ROOT = os.path.join(STATIC_PATH, "django-tinymce-master/tinymce")

#D:\Dropbox\dp\p2d18\opinion\static\django-tinymce-master\tinymce

TINYMCE_DEFAULT_CONFIG = {
'plugins': "table,spellchecker,paste,searchreplace",
'theme': "advanced",
'cleanup_on_startup': True,
'custom_undo_redo_levels': 10,
}
TINYMCE_SPELLCHECKER = True
TINYMCE_COMPRESSOR = True

models.py

class Post(models.Model):
    ...
    body = models.TextField()
    ...

forms.py

from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from blog.models import Post, Comment, Tag
from tinymce.widgets import TinyMCE

class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
    ---
    body = forms.CharField(widget=TinyMCE(attrs={'cols': 50, 'rows': 30}))
    ---

views.py

def add_post(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form1Post = PostForm(request.POST)
        form2Tags = TagForm(request.POST)

        if form1Post.is_valid() and form2Tags.is_valid():
            post = form1Post.save()
            tag_title_from_form = form2Tags['tag_title'].value().strip().lower()
            tag_title_from_form = tag_title_from_form.rstrip(',')
            striped_tags = tag_title_from_form.split(',')
            for t in striped_tags:
                received_tag = t.strip()
                tag, created = Tag.objects.get_or_create(tag_title=received_tag)
                post.tag_set.add(tag)
            return index(request)
        else:
            print (form1Post.errors)
            print (form2Tags.errors)
    else:
        form1Post = PostForm()
        form2Tags = TagForm()

Added tinymce js link in my base.html

<script src="{% static 'django-tinymce-master/tinymce/media/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js' %}"></script>

Added tinymce in my add_post.html

{{ form1.media }}

Generated HTML of Textarea

TinyMCE is not yet working! Where I am making Mistake


Solution

  • try this to initialize the tinyMCE fields on your add_post.html page

    <script>
    tinyMCE.init({
      mode: "textareas",  // to do all text areas
      // or
      selector: "#id_myfield",  // change this value according to your HTML
    });
    </script>
