Newbie-WYSIWYG

Hmm.. this is most likely a MAC setting somewhere.  It's probably in the security settings of firefox?

Nope I have checked there.. still hunting...

okay stump the dummy, It seems that FF 2.0.12 does not allow copy and paste via TinyMCE.. via my mac any ideas?
  

I just copy/pasted on the SnippetMaster demo page (admin/admin) in FF 2.0.12, Mac OS 10.4.11, but I don't get WYSIWYG on my own install in the same browser.  Go figure.

Edit:

My site works in FF 2.0.11 on my Intel iMac, but not my MacBook Pro and FF 2.0.112.  Very strange, but it points to a problem on my local system and I'll keep digging.  SnippetMaster looks like a great fit for current and future clients websites.

I would like to add a special thank you to Henri for his outstanding help, both here and off list.

Edit:  I got to thinking, NoScript versions are different on iMac and MacBookPro (computer I edit on), so I turned off the FF extension, v1.3.2, and went back in on the MacBook Pro and was able to edit my content as expected.  I know that No-Script blocks cross-scripting, would that have something to do with it?  I'm not versed enough in scripting to know the details.  Even though I have my site as a trusted site, it may be that something is pointing elsewhere "behind the scenes" in SnippetMaster's code.

At any rate, if I want to edit on my laptop, I'll just turn off that plug-in.

Glad that's resolved!

I agree with you Grant. Henri thank you for all of your help! Snippetmaster is a great bit of kit (okay code). Are you planning on adding more to it? The big issue I am still seeing is with pages that have flash player code in them (okay I would not let someone change the flash bit of code), but it would be nice to not have that issue. What I have observed is that the flashplayer functions stop working (like the play buttons, fast forward, choosing hte next song, etc.).

Nothing is prefect but this is getting closer
 

okay I got the FF 2.0.0.12 issue on Mac figured out.. you need to create a user.js file with this code in it

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://www.snippetmaster.com http://www.masaweb.info");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");

the line with the "capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites" is the key you need to put all of the site in that you want in this bit of code (spaces between the site names). save the file as user.js and then put into the proper file folders and it works, FF security issues, got to love them...

Where does this go on the server?

mydomain.com/snippetmaster/users.js ?

Thanks

I think it needs to go in a folder on your computer.  Here's a link I found to explain in detail what this file is and how it works:

sorry it goes on your MAC. I will find the folders for you.

It seems that FF 2.0.12 does not allow copy and paste via TinyMCE.

This is a security setting.

You should still be able to use keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V) to copy and paste. Otherwise edit the chrome for Firefox, see here

Now that I've worked out the issues with NoScript ( I had an iFrame in my page and it was being blocked by NS, but it didn't tell me, I reset NS and then allowed all sites, and it works, Thanks to the NS developer's help with figuring this out), I'm able to edit as expected in SnippetMaster and TinyMCE on Firefox, copy/paste as well.  So all is good.

Thanks too to the help I got here....
