For those of you suffering from this issue:

http://www.codeplex.com/umbraco/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=11125

I've got the source code and done a fix for it, as it was affecting my website (ironically, breaking a page I've been making with Umbraco tips :)

As I don't have any edit rights on the source in codeplex, I've done the change and recompiled it. It's available here, the zip contains the change also:

http://www.sloppycode.net/media/43259/tinymce.zip

It's not a huge change, just slightly more rigid exception handling inside parseMacrosToHtml(). The source also has a change that means newline formatting isn't removed - this fixes problems with using <pre> tags with tinyMCE, it adds the line

remove_linebreaks : false

If you don't want this for some reason send me a message on Codeplex and I'll recompile it without the change.

thx. seems to work well.

I put umbraco.editorControls.dll in my /bin

What should i do with umbraco.editorControls.pdb ?

I just tried this one...

What I did was to place the umbraco.editorControls.dll file inside my /bin folder.

I then tried to insert a macro in a regular textpage and clicked on "save and publish" - BOOM!

Maybe I have a different issue going here!? This error occcurs in FF2 as well as in IE7 and IE6. My XSLT inserts a plain img tag with src set via a generic parameter.

The image shows up just fine in the editor prior to saving and works great directly in a template but not at all in the WYSIWYG editor...

Hi Kim.
I've solved at least the issues I had by changing some parts in the source that tried to find all macros with an "macroAlias" attribute set. This part would never work since tinyMCE changes all attribute names to lower case. I've seen one solution to this that modified the search to be non-case-sensitive. My solution was to modify the actual search pattern to macroalias which is a lowercase only version that seems to be working well so far...
i've done this in the latest source that will make this harder to implement in any binary release of 3.0.3...

No I didn't touch the actual Tiny source, I made "macroAlias" all lowercase in:

method MacroContentByHttp
in file \presentation\insertMacros.cs
if (!ReturnFromAlias(attributes["macroAlias"].ToString()).DontRenderInEditor)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

And in the page presentation/umbraco/plugins/tinymce/insertMacros.aspx.cs:
if (Request["macroID"] != null || Request["macroalias"] != null)

I think that this is where the error is thrown, since macroAlias isn't found...
