I did have some trouble with the “uses_tiny_mce” configuration listed in the plugin installation instructions. Here’s the configuration that worked for me:
uses_tiny_mce(:options => {
:mode => “textareas”,
:theme => “advanced”,
:theme_advanced_buttons1 => “formatselect,bold,italic,underline,separator,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,indent,outdent,separator,bullist,numlist,link,unlink,image,undo,redo”,
:theme_advanced_buttons2 => “”,
:theme_advanced_buttons3 => “”,
:editor_selector => “tiny_mce”,
:theme_advanced_toolbar_location => “top”,
:theme_advanced_toolbar_align => “left”,
:theme_advanced_statusbar_location => “bottom”,
:extended_valid_elements => “a[name|href|target|title|onclick],img[class|src|border=0|alt|title|hspace|vspace|width|height|align|onmouseover|onmouseout|name],hr[class|width|size|noshade],font[face|size|color|style],span[class|align|style]”
})
