Hey Everyone,

I'm having a problem with the TinyMCE editor. I add a property to a document type and set it to RichTextEditor. But, when I go in to edit a page, the rich text editor is a small box and there are no buttons. I've attached a screenshot so you can see.

I've tried looking under data types to make sure all the settings are correct. I've upgraded from version 3.0.3 to version 3.0.5. I get the same results in IE, Firefox, even Safari. (For PC) I've read through the forums. I have no idea what's causing this editor to break. I was hoping someone here might have an idea.

This is running on a server with several other Umbraco installations and all the other sites have TinyMCE editors that work fine. This error is driving me nuts.

The property "Page Copy" is supposed to be a rich text editor.


I've also noticed the color picker is not working as well but I can work around that one.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

Steve

Did you try putting the Rich Text Editor on its own tab?

Yes I have. I've tried just about everything that I can think of. I've run several tests. The only thing I can figure that might be causing it is that the javascript that loads the buttons and sets the size of the textbox is not loading properly. I've tried reloading those scripts but that didn't help either.

Just in case anyone is interested, I found the problem. If you have a space in the alias name for the property, it appears to confuse Umbraco and it cannot load the Javascript for the editor. So, "Page Copy" broke the editor. Once I switched the Alias name to "PageCopy", it worked great.
