I'm trying to install django-tinymce so that I can use utilize it within
the admin when editing flatpages and flatblocks. I've been following the
instructions at
http://django-tinymce.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html, but I
can't seem to get TinyMCE to display. django-tinymce has been installed
via pip, and here are the relevant snippets of code:
*settings.py*
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'tinymce',
)
I have tinyMCE working and no mention of it in settings.py. It isn't a
Django app.
It needs to be served by your web server eg Apache. The important thing
is to hang it somewhere off your STATIC_ROOT so your templates can use
{{STATIC_URL}}/js/tinymce/ and if Apache has been set up with ...
Alias /static/ /var/www/<project>/static/
or
Alias /tiny_mce/ /var/www/<project>/static/js/tiny_mce/
... it should find it. If not, view the page source to see where Apache
is actually looking.
It is different when you are using the Django development server. In my
urls.py I detect when that is the case with ...
tinymcedir = os.path.join(settings.STATIC_ROOT, 'js/tiny_mce/')
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^media\/(?P<path>.*)$',
'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
)
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^static\/(?P<path>.*)$',
'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT}),
)
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^tiny_mce/(?P<path>.*)$',
'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': tinymcedir}),
)
I'm not sure if this is the "right way" to do it but it works for me.
Mike
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
TINYMCE_JS_URL = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT,
'templates/static/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js')
TINYMCE_JS_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'templates/static/js/tiny_mce')
* I have a hunch that here is where I'm going wrong. The instructions
indicate that the tiny_mce js dir should reside in MEDIA, but I was
under the impression that MEDIA is to be used for user-uploaded content,
while STATIC is for assets like JS and CSS. That's why I put the
tiny_mce lib in STATIC instead of MEDIA.
*
urls.py*
urlpatterns = patterns(''
...
url(r'^tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),
)
* If i visit 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/tinymce/flatpages_link_list/' in the
browser, 'var tinyMCELinkList = []' is rendered.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
