TinyMCE Editor not shown after second call

Question by Guest | 2016-01-06 at 11:04

I am encountering a strange problem with my TinyMCE HTML Editor on my website.

I have implemented the editor in the following way: With clicking the button "Edit", an editor window is displayed using JavaScript and Ajax. In this window TinyMCE should appear. I am executing the initialization of TinyMCE (tinymce.init) directly after the Ajax-insertion, so that TinyMCE is properly displayed and can be used.

All of that is working until that point. It becomes programmatic at the moment, the editor window is closed and should be shown for another time later. Altough the initialization command is executed also at the second time, TinyMCE is not displayed. Instead, you can only see the normal Textarea the same way, as if TinyMCE is not included at all.

What can I do to properly display TinyMCE also after its second call?

In this case, it should help to remove TinyMCE before the second call. For this, you can use the function .remove(), for example in the following way:

tinymce.remove(); 

tinymce.init({
  selector: "textarea"
});

Using tinymce.remove(), you are removing all editors from the current page. If you only want to remove one specific editor, you can pass the ID as a parameter, for example: tinymce.remove('#id').

Please consider that the function tinymce.remove() is only available since version 4 of TinyMCE. In older versions, you can use

tinyMCE.execCommand('mceRemoveControl',false,'mydiv') 

instead.
