Question about tinymce

Windows Server 2003 / TeamSite 6.7.1

We are using tinymce as the external-editor on textareas in our templates. We are getting a bar under each textarea that reads 'Path:'...I've attached a screen shot. Does anyone know where this comes from and how to remove it?

The "Path" line is part of the editor. It gives you the hierarchy of the html code upto the point of your cursor. I don't think you can remove it.

It's the "theme_advanced_path_location". "This option enables you to specify where the element path should be located." (DOC: iw-home\httpd\iw\tinymce\docs\option_theme_advanced_path_location.html). Normally, you could change this when you initialize the instance of tinymce (as seen in the link above).

Of course, Interwoven has decided what's best for you, rather than letting you decide what's best for you. (DOC: https://support.interwoven.com/kb/kb_show_article2.asp?ArticleID=57705)
"Customization limited to toolbar button arrangement and custom styles for global/table/table row/table cell". The initialization is buried deep within the dark recesses of their FormsPublisher JSPs and cannot be accessed.

So if you want to change it, you're on you're own in terms of official support.

1) You could copy the appropriate JSP into ...customer_src/web/formspub, change the initialization of tinymce in the JSP and rebuild the webapp. You'd have to do some digging to find what the appropriate JSP really is and probably more digging to really find out how it's writing out that initialization for tinymce.

2) You could change the javascript in \iw-home\httpd\iw\tinymce\jscripts\tiny_mce\themes\advanced\editor_template_src.js
to counteract the initialization which they've forced upon you.

a) Change the value of the variable declaration for 'pathHTML' to an empty string. This still leaves you with some empty space at the bottom of the editor which is not as pretty.


var pathHTML = '{$lang_theme_path}:  ';


var pathHTML = '';
//'{$lang_theme_path}:  ';

-=OR=-

b) Change the value that's added to the HTML string to an empty string. This is prettier, but I suppose if you were serious about the modification, you'd have to make the change for each possible value of the var pathLocation, even though IW's forced initialization only calls it as "bottom".


if (pathLocation == "bottom")
{
/* iwov - don't include toolbar if read only */
if (inst.readOnly) {
pathHTML = "";
}
template['html'] += '*tr**td class="mcePathBottom" height="1"*' + pathHTML + '*/td**/tr*';
}

(* Note that I had to remove the existing angle brackets in the code so this would render correctly for this forum page.)

if (pathLocation == "bottom")
{
/* iwov - don't include toolbar if read only */
if (inst.readOnly) {
pathHTML = "";
}
template['html'] += ''; //this is where Bjorn zapped it
}

I didn't put a lot of testing into this, so maybe some genius can provide a better or safer way. But hopefully it's enough to get you rolling.

That's customizable in SP1 now.
