Rich Text Fields in Admin

[Ramdas S]

Hi,


I have beenn trying to get the django admin to do Rich Text Field for textarea. I checked the following examples, and tried the variants seen in these links

<a href="http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AddWYSIWYGEditor" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AddWYSIWYGEditor

<a href="http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AddDojoEditor" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AddDojoEditor

<a href="http://www.dehora.net/journal/2006/05/using_tinymce_in_djangos_admin.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://www.dehora.net/journal/2006/05/using_tinymce_in_djangos_admin.html

I am using the instructions to the 'T'. I tried all options. But nothing seems to be working. What am I doing wrong?

Is there any better options?



Any advice

Thanks

Ramdas

Try :

http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/RichTextField

This worked for me with a few minor variations:

1) Had to install Genshi first

2) Instead of

from local_models import RichTextFieldWithClass
....
        js=['../js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js',
'../js/tmce.js']

I used

from mysite.local_models import RichTextFieldWithClass
....
        js=['js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js', 'js/tmce.js']

I'm not in any position to help you no this, but it's not useful to
those who might be able to help you to just say "nothing seems to be
working". That tells them nothing about the problems you are having.

Do you mean

(a) All requests to the web server are served correctly and my web
browser indicates no errors (particularly useful if you can use FireBug
or something similar), but nothing appears on the web page?

(b) Some files are not being retrieved correctly?

(c) The display looks correct, but I can't actually use the rich text
editing?

(d) Something else?

People the mailing list cannot read your mind or see your computer
screen. So you are going to have to describe the problem you are seeing
and do some digging around to collect the information.

Thanks,
Malcolm

Malcom,

The display is fine. The web site is working perfectly. I am able to populate the database.

But I am not able to get the rich text box in any of the text areas in the particular model or for the table in question.

I have tried options such as installing it at multiple places, including the svn downloaded file path as well as usr/lib/python/...../admin

/media. I have tried it with complete path of the options to be used in js fields in the admin. Nothing seems to be working!

There are two possibilities here: either the webserver correctly
retrieves the necessary Javascript files or it doesn't. If you are
moving the files around it sounds like you are saying your webserver is
not able to locate the files in order to serve them. That is a webserver
configuration problem. People will be able to help you more if you can
explain which webserver you are using and what configuration you have
for serving static files.

If your webserver is correctly retrieving the Javascript files (look for
a 200 status code for each of the files), then you have a problem with
how you are integrating the Javascript into your pages.

Those two cases have different causes and differentiating between them
will help people help you to debug it.

Malcolm

Hi Randas,

I've been using the tutorial on:
http://www.socialistsoftware.com/post/django-and-tinymce/

The tutorial is a bit outdated so look at the following things:

Make sure you copy the tiny_mce folder into
/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Django-0.95-py2.4.egg/django/contrib/admin/media/js/

(your python install might not be in /usr/local/lib/ so make sure you
change that to wherever yours is installed)

make sure you copy textarea.js into the tiny_mce folder

make sure that in the admin class of your Model it states
js = ['js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js', 'js/tiny_mce/textareas.js']

and not something like

js = ('/media/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js',
'/media/js/tiny_mce/textareas.js')

Hope this is of help

Martijn

Hi,

 

What perrygeo and schotm has suggested works perfectly.

 

I am happy to resolve it. I shall try adding a line or two to the wiki post on the topic, with couple of variants from my side.

 

Thanks a lot guys! You all are great

 

Ramdas

What perrygeo has suggested worked like a charm on my PC. Unfortunately DreamHost where our web site is hosted does not let you install Genshi. I am writing to them. Or I need to figure someway to put it in the pythonpath,

Any suggestions.
