TinyMCE not used when creating new discussion page or adding new topic

Problem resolved

When TinyMCE is installed, upon trying to create a new discussion page for any page or creating new discussion topics, TinyMCE editor is not used. Is there something I'm missing or is this somehow configurable?

Is it possible to make all edit actions default to `tinymceedit`?

NOTE: When creating a new discussion page, the action is `edit` and when creating a new topic, the action is also `edit` and not `tinymceedit`. Thanks!

Hi

I'm really pleased you are giving this extension a try. I can certainly do some investigation, and consult with those who know more than I, to see how this might be done.

You may also be interested that I'm very close to releasing a major upgrade to the extension which makes use of the latest versions of TinyMCE and also provides improved coverage of wiki text markup. If you are interested in using the extension long term it might be worth you using this new version, which can be found here https://github.com/duncan-crane/TinyMCE/tree/Upgrade-to-TinyMCE-5.

If you do try this, be sure to download the 'Upgrade to TinyMCE 5' branch and not the 'master' branch.

I'll post something here on your question about Talk pages when I have some more information

Kind regards

Duncan

Hi Again

My friend Yaron has created a patch so that the TinyMCE editor will load when creating new Talk pages and adding New Topics. It should be in the latest master copy in Gerrit if you'd like to try again?

Please do let me know if you've any other questions.

Many thanks.

Duncan

Hi @DuncanCrane, thank you for the update and thanking Yaron for the fix.

I've tried it out and it works as expected. Thank you and Yaron for working on this :). Hence, this can be marked as resolved.

A quick question, when will this be released for consumption by other users? Any plans?

Hi @X-Savitar

I am currently working with some others on an extensive programme of testing. Provided the testing doesn't throw up anything that requires a major development effort, I hope to release the next version by the end of July.
