HowTo Install TinyMCE 3.x in Lenya 2.0.X

General remarks

  • TinyMCE will not work if uploads are disabled. So either you set uploads.enable in local.build.properties, or you modify the
  • build/lenya/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
  • file as follows
  • <init-param>
    • <param-name>enable-uploads</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value>
      </init-param>
  • and restart lenya.
  • The TinyMCE 3.x API is different from the 2.x API. For that reason, all plugins have to be rewritten. There is some information in the Migration Guide.
  • A patch is appended to this page (see installation intructions below)

Basic Installation

  • Get the TinyMCE Main package and Language packs from the Download page.
  • If you upgrade from tiny 2.x, make sure to delete all old files before installing.
  • Unpack the main package in
  • ..../modules/tinymce/resources/
  • Unpack the language packs in
  • ..../modules/tinymce/resources/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/
  • Important: this is different from Tiny 2.x, where you unpack them at the higher level!

If your version of Lenya is older than 2.0.4, you also need to:

  • Download and unpack tinymce3patch.zip in
  • ..../modules/tinymce/resources/
  • Important: This patch overwrites some files in the tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins subtree; if you want to go back to TinyMCE 2.x, you need to backup this subtree first.
  • Modify the file
  • ..../modules/tinymce/resources/javascript/tiny_config.js
  • by adding the following line to the list of configuration options:
    popup_css_add : "../modules/tinymce/css/lenya_dialog.css",
  • (This will make images and tables comply with the html strict schema, by showing only allowed attributes in the image and table popups.)
  • (Optional but recommended) Modify the file
  • ..../modules/tinymce/sitemap.xmap
  • as shown by the attached diff output: 
  • Index: src/modules/tinymce/sitemap.xmap
