If you are having problems using a WYSIWYG editor with your Mambo site , these tips may help....

• Make sure your Mambo is installed correctly before adding components . Editors are components.
• The recommended editor for Mambo is MOStlyCE. We know it works well with Mambo but we cannot be certain if other editors have been updated for the version of Mambo you are using.
• Make sure you are using the correct version of MOStlyCE for your Mambo version. The versions are clearly labelled and can be downloaded here: http://mambo-code.org/gf/project/mostlyce/  (Tab: files)
• Make sure mostlyce_config.php is writeable.
  NOTE: the path for this is /mambots/editors/mostlyce/jscripts/tiny_mce
• Check that your editor has been published - you can see this by checking in your components manager .
• Make sure you have selected the editor in your site's configuration. configuration.php must be writeable or you will get a message saying it is not (if it is not, then changes will not be saved!)
• Clear your browser and your site cache. If all else fails, try switching the editor to simple mode. You can change back to advanced mode if the change to simple mode works (sometimes site or browser caching stops changes to the editor configuration from being seen).
• Adding code that the editor changes? Any code you add should be entered into the editor in code view. Occasionally, the code you are trying to add conflicts with the editor settings - if this happens, just go to your site's configuration, change the editor to "no WYSIWYG editor", save. Then go back to your content item , add your code, and save. Once your code is entered and saved correctly, you can re-enable the WYSIWYG editor in your site configuration.
• If the CSS styles feature is not working in your editor, check your MOStlyCE configuration settings. If "Override Template CSS" is set to "YES", change this to "NO". (Or the other way around, depending on how you have configured MOStlyCE for your site).
• On some servers, you may get conflicts with domain aliasing. If this happens, make sure you are accessing your administrator backend with the same URL you have set in the $mosConfig_live_site variable in configuration.php. Depending on your server setup, you may need to add the www subdomain to your $mosConfig_live_site variable. If all else fails, search the forums to see if anyone else has reported the same problem.
• On some servers the TinyMCE engine, which forms part of MOStlyCE, has issues with javascript compression. At this time, MOStlyCE has javascript compression ON by default. If you are experiencing problems with some javascript buttons (such as "save", "new" etc) not working correctly try disabling compression through your MOStlyCE configuration settings. Javascript compression can also lead to problems in some browsers (particularly Internet Explorer and Opera) and the solution is the same - turn off compression in your MOStlyCE configuration.
• To utilize the Image/File Manager in MOStlyCE (2.0+) you must install the MOStlyCE Admin component and follow the setup instructions found under Component->MOStlyCE Admin->Image Mgr tab.

If all else fails, search the forums to see if anyone else has reported the same problem.

If you still cannot get your editor working, please post in the WYSIWYG editor forums (http://forum.mambo-foundation.org/forumdisplay.php?f=176 ),making sure you let us know which version of Mambo you are using and which editor (and version) you are experiencing problems with.
