Default text editor?

IF Ivan Fræer

When I activate “TinyMCE Editor” all users get automatically this editor as default, although I have chosen “Plain text Editor” as the default editor…

 

How can I force the “Plain text Editor” to be the Default editor? Is this maybe a bug?
Thank you in advance.

 

Bedst regards

if you want to force tinymce, disable the other editors…  and dont let them select… then they will get tinymce…

and adding in tinymce and setting it as default wont change anyones current selection.. that default will only matter for new users since existing users already have one selected…

it would be quite bad to change users editor behind their backs if you are letting them pick one…

My problem: I can´t get tinymce to work in the current versions of Explorer browsers (java script error, and I don´t have the brain to fix it – (Working fine in Explorer 10 by the way:-)

 

Therefore I was forced to deactivate tinymce. But because tinymce is working fine in FF, GG & Explorer 10 I want to give the users the the possibility to select tinymce, but they have to do it by them self.

Yes – in their profile.

Is the script error you are getting in IE some special IE script being generated by your theme or another plugin? If so it may no longer be relevant depending how old it is. I would really try to get to the bottom of that.

You probably right, but I simply do not have any idea of ​​how to fix it. I’m not exactly a novice, but this java-error is way beyond my knowledge… Tnx anyway.

Well you could start by telling us what the error details you see are exactly…

Can you translate that for me?
Are you using the custom message above editor option?

With or without that custom message, it´s the same problem.

Every time I activate tinymce, all Explorer users get a text editoir without the toolbar. They only got a strange smiley where the toolbar should be.

Oh – I was expecting an actual script error.
Why don’t you view the source code being generated on the forum page using IE. Search for .js and see if you notice any that look like they may be IE specific – maybe have IE in the file name or a comment with them stating they are for IE. You never know it is worth a look.

is tinymce the default?  be worth checking the user sp profile too and make sure that tinymce is set as the editor of choice…

I deactivated “Spoilers” so now I got rid of that silly smiley in top of the editbox 🙂

My only other suggestion would be to to check for theme and plugin issues. Try it in IE with the default Wp theme. If it still works then deactivate other plugins one by one to see if any of those are causing an issue.
