rich:editor: why does color picker not work?

hanafey Jun 18, 2009 11:15 AM

I have a problem with color selection in the rich:editor. The foreground or background color picker displays a nice rectangle of color choices, but clicking on a color does nothing. The drop down does not even close.

When I look at the TinyMCE web site examples, the color picker works as expected. When a color is picked the drop down closes, and the selection gets the picked color, so it does not appear to be a browser problem.

My config is very simple as follows:

<rich:editor id="mce" value="#{editor.commentForEdit.body}"
configuration="genomix/tractor/editor-simple">
</rich:editor>

editor-simple:

theme="advanced"
theme_advanced_toolbar_location="top"
theme_advanced_toolbar_align="center"
theme_advanced_layout_manager="SimpleLayout"
entity_encoding="numeric"
theme_advanced_buttons1_add="|,forecolor,backcolor"

Am I missing some setting that gets around this problem?

The browser is Firefox 3.0.11.

Same behavior with Chrome 2.0.172.31

RF is v.3.3.1.GA SVN $Revision: 14228 $ $Date: 2009-05-14 09:56:51 -0700 (Thu, 14 May 2009)

checked your code with 3.3.2 snapshot and demosite environment and the color picker works fine on my side with FF but not works with Chrome.

seems the issue is in tinyMCE itself and we not using the latest one. But the issues on updating the tiny already here and should fix this https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-7290

Unfortunately, with 3.3.2.SR1 the problem is exactly the same.

As is often the case, a seemingly simple problem may have some twists, and this issue qualifies.

The problem can easily be reproduced with Glassfish 2.0u2, JSF RI 1.2_12 with:

<rich:editor id="mce" value="#{editor.commentForEdit.body}" configuration="/editor-simple"> </rich:editor>

editor-simple.properties:

theme="advanced" theme_advanced_toolbar_location="top" theme_advanced_toolbar_align="center" theme_advanced_layout_manager="SimpleLayout" entity_encoding="numeric" theme_advanced_buttons1_add="|,forecolor,backcolor"

BUT THE KEY IS YOU MUST ALSO HAVE:

<context-param> <param-name>com.sun.faces.preferXHTML</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </context-param>

in your web.xml. I am using this option because it solved some other problems.

So the question is why does color picker fail with this context parameter, and can this be fixed???
