TinyMCE does not appear no matter what

Question

Now this is not django-tinymce, since I do not need it on my other pages. Only this one page, and it does not appear, which is why my head hurts. Tiny_mce.js is correctly displayed when checking in Firebug and there are no errors in javascript on the console. I even tried with the mode: "Exact" and the element: "id_description", but nada.

{% block content %} <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/tiny_mce.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> tinyMCE.init({ mode : "textareas", theme : "simple" }); </script> <form class="myform" action="{{ form_action }}" method="post">{% csrf_token %} <ul> <li><label for="id_description">Description:</label> <textarea name="description" cols="40" rows="10" id="id_description"></textarea> </li> </ul> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> {% endblock %} 

Answer 1

I have not touched this for years, but I remember that I was not able to get the textareas mode to work. Instead, I had to use exact mode and specify the identifiers of a particular form element:

 { mode : "exact", elements : "id_description" } 

Answer 2

I have earned. I just need to copy the entire tiny_mce / folder (I just placed tiny_mce.js script) and then updated the script tag accordingly:

 <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script> 

I realized this because some suspicious error messages appeared on the server screen:

Answer 3

You need to specify in init which control to make tinyMCE.

<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas", elements: "id_description",
theme : "simple"
});
</script>
