Hi all. I am having some trouble with the abovementioned helper plugin.
Following the instructions in the github repo readme results in error
messages and I have attempted to troubleshoot the reasons myself but have
achieved little in the way of success. There's little on Google for this
helper for Cake 2 (I tried pretty hard to find stuff, trust me).
*Setup:*
1. Freshly cloned the CakePHP repository, switched to the 2.0 branch
(2.0.3).
2. Ran sudo chmod -R a+rwx app/tmp
3. Modified Config/core.php to remove salt etc error messages.
4. Created Config/database.php and supplied it with correct db details.
5. Ran sudo chmod -R a+rwx app/tmp again (cake bake throws errors
otherwise).
6. cake bake'd model, controller and views for a very simplistic user
schema:
CREATE TABLE `users` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(20) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`desc` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`created` datetime NOT NULL,
`modified` datetime NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `name` (`name`)
);
At this point I have a basic but perfectly working site.
*Installing TinyMCE Helper:*
1. I ran:
git submodule add https://github.com/CakeDC/TinyMCE.git
app/Plugin/TinyMCE
...then checked out the 2.0 branch.
2. I add CakePlugin::loadAll(); to Config/bootstrap.php
3. Added this to my controller:
public $helpers = array('TinyMCE.TinyMCE');
Now going to /users results in the following:
TinyMCE.TinyMCEHelper could not be found.
Create the class TinyMCEHelper below in file:
/var/www/caketest/app/Plugin/TinyMCE/View/Helper/TinyMCEHelper.php
Here I realised that TinyMCEHelper.php doesn't exist but TinyMceHelper.php
does (note capitalisation of 'MCE'). Unsure which is the correct
capitalisation, so:
- Changed my UsersController.php to read:
public $helpers = array('TinyMce.TinyMce');
- ...and the plugin folder's name to:
Plugin/TinyMce
...suddenly no more on-screen error messages, but this in Apache's
error.log:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in
/var/www/caketest/app/Plugin/TinyMce/webroot/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js on

/var/www/caketest/lib/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php:293, referer:
http://192.168.0.3/caketest/users
Getting lost and realising I've probably tinkered too much (but enjoying
the learning experience), I:
- moved Plugins/TinyMce back to Plugins/TinyMCE
- changed code in UsersController.php back to:
public $helpers = array('TinyMCE.TinyMCE');
- ...and renamed app/Plugin/TinyMCE/View/Helper/TinyMceHelper.php back
to:
TinyMCEHelper.php
No on-screen errors, no errors in Apache's error.log, but Firefox's
developer console FireBug shows:
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found -
http://192.168.0.3/caketest/tiny_mce/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js";
Using Firebug to find and open that file, I find the following:
"Missing Controller
Error: TinyMceController could not be found."
...at which point I kinda give up! Not sure, after all that, if any of it
was particularly productive, and I know full well I could install TinyMCE
manually, but really wanted to get a plugin of any kind up and running, and
thought this one would be the simplest.
All help gratefully appreciated.
