    TinyMCE in the Front end

    Hello All,

    I am trying to USE tinyMCE in a front end control on my site. I have managed to add the control to my form using:

     umbraco.editorControls.tinyMCE3.webcontrol.TinyMCEWebControl control = new umbraco.editorControls.tinyMCE3.webcontrol.TinyMCEWebControl();
    RTE.Controls.Add(control);

    and it renders fine, However.

    The insert Image Button and the insert hyperlink buttons dont work. The insert image button I would like to remove but the insert hyper link button is trying to open a page within the tinyMCE folders

    'mydomain'/umbraco_client/tinymce3/themes/umbraco/link.htm

    But i get 'A failed to open URL' error.

    So my question is, Has anyone managed to get the tinyMCE control working in a front end control? If so how did you do it (bear in mind Im really new to c#)

    I ideally i would like to get something akin to the rich text editor on this forum

    Thanks a million

    Hi Lachlann,

    You should have an easier time downloading the TinyMCE editor from http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ and use it that way. You're able to customize it the way you want and it simply uses a regular textbox/textarea element to convert to the editor :-)

    Hope it works out for you.

    All the best,

    Bo
