Hi Tom,
I am glad you've got this working using an earlier version of the extension as found
in the 'zip' file.
As I mentioned yesterday, the 'master' version should be stable so I think you
have identified a bug in that version. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it without the
information I was asking for yesterday. I'd be grateful if you would provide this
information as then I could fix the bug so you and others could use the 'master'
version without problems.
Thanks also for identifying the problem with the documentation (your Note 2, below). The
project does exist in Phabricator but it is not listed in 'Module:Callsigns' which
is used by the template 'git file' to create the link in the documentation. I can
place a link in the documentation directly to the Phabricator page but it might be better
if 'Module:Callsigns' was updated to reflect the current contents of Phabricator.
Sadly, this is beyond my limited knowledge of mediawiki so I may need a little help with
doing this from someone else on this mailing list?
Kind regards
Duncan

Subject: Re: [MediaWiki-l] [TinyMCE] TinyMCE doesn't show any of the underlying text
on some pages
I updated to MediaWiki 1.31.6, and installed the 0.3 version of TinyMCE by downloading
from here:
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-TinyMCE/archive/0.3.zip
(which is where the "You can download the TinyMCE code, in .zip format..” on the
Extension:TinyMCE mediawiki page points to) and then uploading to the server running my
mediawiki installation. Now TinyMCE does seem to work properly, so that must have been
the issue. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I’d still like to know how one
might use the git method to get a stable version, for future reference. That way I won’t
have to download locally and upload to my server. Perhaps there is a way to download
directly to the server from a web page using command line?
Thanks,
-Tom

Thanks for the suggestions. Some questions:
Where does one get the latest stable version of tinyMCE?
Here is the entirety of the “download” section for “extension:tinyMCE”
(
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TinyMCE):
Download[edit<https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:Tiny…
You can download the TinyMCE code, in .zip format,
here<https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-TinyMCE/archive/0…ip>.
You can also download the code directly via Git from the MediaWiki source code repository
(see available
tags<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/ETMC/tags/master/>)/>).
>From a command line, you can call the following:
git clone
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/TinyMCE.git
To view the code online, including version history for each file, go
here<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org//r/p/mediawiki/extensions/TinyMCE…r/>.
Note:
1) there is no indication that the git link leads to a unstable development version of
TinyMCE. Is this something that users are just supposed to know? If so, it would be good
for the developers to included some short note about this, and how users with less
experience with MediaWiki etc. can go about getting the stable version.
2) that the last link (“To view the code online, including version history for each file,
go here”) points to a page that reads: "The requested project does not exist”.

I’ve installed tinyMCE on my installation but for several pages it just doesn’t work. I
get a delay, then the tinyMCE menu, but then no text shows up below it for editing (even

invokes tinyMCE). I’m running mediawiki 1.31.0, and my server is running 7.3.13 (which I
can’t change). Any ideas?
FYI I installed tinyMCE by going to my extensions folder and doing:
git clone
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/TinyMCE.git
Sounds like you installed git master (=unstable development 1.35.x
version) of TinyMCE together with an outdated insecure MediaWiki version (1.31.0).
Does this problem still happen with a maintained MediaWiki version (currently 1.31.6 for
LTS, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download
and
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading ) and the corresponding TinyMCE branch
(REL1_31)?
