It seems like the type of Editor that a user is able to use to create a Group Event is determined by their system? Is there a way that everyone would be able to use like CKEditor or TinyMCE so the user experience is consistent?
Hey there,

The editor that is used is actually based on the settings. You can configure this by editing the custom field when you edit the category for the event.

Mark,

I think I found the option to adjust the editor (attached: editor1) but when I try to save the changes I get an error (attached: editor2)

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. It seems like the folder /media/com_easysocial/apps/fields/event/description/themes/ is missing. I have re-uploaded it now and it works correctly

This still doesn't seem like it's working. I select a new editor then try to save it and I still get the same message

When I try to edit any Events Category (select any editor other than none) I still get the same message as above.

I have no idea how to reproduce this error. This is what I did:

1. Clicked on the link "Paddleboarding" when accessing event categories

2. Clicked on the "Custom Fields" tab.

3. Clicked on the "Event Description" field, and selected "Editor - None".

4. Clicked on the save button, this is what I see on my end, http://screencast.com/t/SkJtdp8G

I'm just going down the Category list and so far these Categories get the above message:
Water Sports
Hot Air Ballooning
Sport Fishing
Scuba
Sailing

(Paddleboarding, Cross-training and Skydiving worked)

And to be clear, once I select the Event Category, I Select Custom Fields tab, then scroll down to Event Description and select Edit, The Description Box will pop-up then I select the Basic Tab, from the Drop-down menu I choose "Editor - TinyMCE" the choose Save and Close at the top..

Yep, this is exactly what I did and I did not hit any errors. Are you using the same login as I am?

So if you changed the Editor in the Watersports Category (under Events) it didn't take as when I go there it says none (attached). I just logged in with the stackideas user name and still get that error..

Hi Haki Saki,

I am really sorry for the inconvenience caused. It seems like you hit the error because you did not put the mandatory fields as required into your selection http://screencast.com/t/56foVQBBoqOh.
As you added the mandatory field on the selection,the event description (Editor-TinyMCE) will be work fine http://screencast.com/t/TnYpXdZX. Please have a look.

Regards,
Fadhli.

OK, that seems to work better I only checked about half of the Categories..Should they all be working now?

Also, what controls the background color of the menu in that editor? The red background is an unpleasant contrast?

Lastly, There are no font type or font size options..do you know if that's a TinyMCE issue or would a different Editor provide those options?

Thanks.

Hey there,

Those tinymce buttons seems to be styled by your Joomla template. You could try JCE instead

As for the font resize options, you can actually configure the editor in Joomla's plugin manager to render the "Extended" version of the editor.
