any chance to see that plugin upgraded to wordpress 2.3 ?

I tried installing it and adding just the modification you state in tiny_mce_config.pgp (adding the plugin and adding the button) the button shows but nothing happens when I click on it. all the ugly MSo class stay there.

I’m attempting to use this plugin in a non-WordPress website. I am getting an error on the AJAX.request call. Are there some client-side or server-side dependencies I should be aware of? Perhaps something that’s turned on by default in Wordpress, but that other tinyMCE users may not have enabled?

Hi Trev, on some of my posts I get this error:

[code=HTTP_REQUEST_TOO_LONG] The HTTP request is too long. Contact your system administrator.

Any reason why? I am using 2.2.

Hi Alexander,
I’m sure it would be possible to do this, but the SQL part is beyond my expertise. If you want to see what changes are made to remove the formatting, check out the ajaxwordfix.php file in the plugin download. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Hi!

Trev, could you please do me a favour and write an SQL SELECT (or UPDATE for that matter) to fix already submitted posts?

The problem is, my friend of Messianic Commette has been keeping his blog for over a year and we just tolerated the broken design caused by Word formatting pasted in.

Now as I’ve found your work I guess you know the specific rules for filtering the trash out from the strings stored in DB.

Thank you!

Chris, Does this make Trev’s plugin redundent?

As an aside… Did you know that there are hidden toolbar buttons in the WP implementation of TinyMCE (2.1.x branch). You can enable them with a keystroke or a simple plugin. (More details)

I bring it up as two of the hidden buttons relate to copy/paste — one specifically from Word.

Internet Explorer 7 is the work of the devil and should be renamed Internet Explorer 666. The probelms described above were happening in IE as I was trying to load the plugin at work. At home where I use Firefox the plugin works fine.
I just have to make sure all my blog contributors are using Firefox. There are only a few so that is not a problem. Actually I shouldn’t be too harsh on Mr Gates’ product. Opera treats the plugin the same way.
I guess I have learnt a lesson here. Work is for working and home is for Wordpress.

Hi Trev,
Wordpress 2.1.1 was security compromised so I have upgraded to 2.1.2 and the plugin stopped working again, ie all the visual edit icons disappeared.

Going back to the 2.1.2 wordpress version of tiny_mce_config the icons came back.
Comparing the two files there are only a few differences.
Of course your file has ‘wordfix’, inserted in two sections, the Wordpress file also has three extra commands,
cache_javascript_headers(); is inserted near the top of the file
the line if ( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) { is now if ( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == ‘on’ ) {
and
gecko_spellcheck : true, has been inserted into the intiArray section

I tried taking the Wordpress file and simply inserting ‘wordfix’, at the appropriate locations but I couldn’t get it to work.

Not being a PHP coder I have little idea what it all means, but hopefully you (or someone else) can stand on the shoulders of my work here and see a solution.

BTW Trev,
I have now upgraded to Wordpress 2.1.1 and the plugin still seems to be working (not that I have tested it extensively).
I mention this because tiny_mce_config.php is one of the files that changed from 2.1 to 2.1.1. (You might want to have a closer look to see what changed specifically, and if there might be a hidden gotcha)
