Techy question (to Django developers)..?

Hey guys!

So, I’m starting to learn Django. And I’m using the Flatpages app.

Now, I’m trying to embed the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor in Flatpages. I’m following the steps mentioned in the Appress book: Practical Django Projects. And I’ve done everything right, but the TinyMCE app wouldn’t show up in the browser. When I asked the Django IRC channel we found out that it’s not a Django problem, the problem seems to be with TinyMCE itself. When I tried to look up the docs at the TinyMCE website, all I found is either very outdated, or totally unrelated to my problem. Any hints on how should I go about this?

Thanks a lot.

Do you have a link?

Just from what you’ve written I’d guess the problem was javascript related, could be as simple as a conflict or a typo keeping the code that inserts the editor from running… are you seeing any errors?

Have you taken a look with Firebug? I’d give that a try first, make sure everything is loading into the dom like you want, and go from there.

disclaimer, I haven’t actually worked with TinyMCE, so this may be off base, just saw you hadn’t gotten an answer yet and though I’d give it a shot
