I would also suggest just moving to Django 1.5.1 from 1.4.x. That should reduce the number of outdated problems you run into ... and you get all of these great features :-) https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.5/ --- OpenStack for Africa: http://signup.kili.io Musings: https://twitter.com/varud About Adam: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 11:51 AM, Martin Chiteri <martin.chiteri@gmail.com>wrote:
Django-TinyMCE worked like a charm, thank you once again. There must have been a network failure yesterday when I attempted to pull the packages off the Python packaging index because I remember pip was not able to find its files. Here are the instructions that fixed my issue today.

Thank you very much Adam. I had actually already tried installing django-tinymce using *pip* as per another source of advice https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-tinymce Interestingly I have done something similar using older versions of django (v1.3), perhaps in a more manual fashion but it worked since the instructions were coming from Django's release manager <http://www.b-list.org/>. He has a fantastic<https://bitbucket.org/bbharadwaj/practical-django-projects-james-bennet>but outdated book<http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Django-Projects-Pratical/dp/1590599969>on the framework.
Will alert you if I succeed.
CHEERS!
Martin.

Those directions are extremely old. I've updated the wiki page accordingly and put a link here:

Use one of those packages.
In general, with Django, the procedure should be:
1. Is there a good Django package available? 2. If not, is there a good Python package available? 3. If not, reconsider what you're doing 4. Only now, start writing your own code and ideally have that code be open source as a Django or Python package.
Cheers, Adam

Hello,
I have a small problem with regards to django<http://www.djangoproject.com>version 1 release 4 update number 3. My Python release is 2.7.3 and I am in the process of integrating TinyMCE <http://www.tinymce.com/>, a WYSIWYG editor into my admin interface in order to modify database table fields that support text areas with rich-text capabilities (font-styling, image alignment, hyper linking, etc).
So far I have seen this guide on the django documentation site https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AddWYSIWYGEditor It does not make my code fail because of errors. Neither does it work as expected if at all. Stack Overflow has yielded no fruitful results. If anything the results are plagued with chaos and / or conflicting methods. I know there are at least four or more people here familiar with the framework. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Martin.
