Tiny MCE Editor with Angular js not working on IE - angularjs

Question

I am relatively new to angular js and was trying to integrate angular-ui-tiny mce editor to my site,however the editor is not loading on IE-11,console says the error " Failed to load http://snet-dev.subaru1.com:7777/homenew//themes/modern/theme.js" (not sure why we have 2 forward slashes after homenew)".
I have tried to create grunt tasks to copy the theme.js inside _bower_Components into dist folder,this makes the editor to load on local IE-11.
Now when I promote my code to dev server,the editor does not load on the page saying "Failed to load http://snet-dev.subaru1.com:7777/homenew//themes/modern/theme.js".
Below is my code for using Tiny -MCE.
App.js
I have successfully installed the tiny-mce bower component and injected into the main module
angular.module('dashboardSubaruNetApp', [
'ui.tinymce',
])
Admin.html
<textarea ui-tinymce="tinymceOptions" ng-model="data.content" ng-required="!data.url"></textarea>

Guys, can anyone,please provide some insight.

Answer 1

The issue is that TinyMCE uses the following code to work out where the script is hosted from and uses that to load plugin and theme files relative to TinyMCE.
https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/blob/b2a50bc17ea903a344f29ef664c596aa3c85c610/js/tinymce/classes/EditorManager.js#L184
First it tries to find the script tag for tinymce, but as your bundling it with your code this check fails.
var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
for (var i = 0; i < scripts.length; i++) {
src = scripts[i].src;
// Script types supported:
// tinymce.js tinymce.min.js tinymce.dev.js
// tinymce.jquery.js tinymce.jquery.min.js tinymce.jquery.dev.js
// tinymce.full.js tinymce.full.min.js tinymce.full.dev.js
var srcScript = src.substring(src.lastIndexOf('/'));
if (/tinymce(\.full|\.jquery|)(\.min|\.dev|)\.js/.test(src)) {
if (srcScript.indexOf('.min') != -1) {
suffix = '.min';
}
baseURL = src.substring(0, src.lastIndexOf('/'));
break;
}
}
Next it tries to use document.currentScript which works on Chrome but is unsupported on IE.
// We didn't find any baseURL by looking at the script elements
// Try to use the document.currentScript as a fallback
if (!baseURL && document.currentScript) {
src = document.currentScript.src;
if (src.indexOf('.min') != -1) {
suffix = '.min';
}
baseURL = src.substring(0, src.lastIndexOf('/'));
}
2 ways to solve this are:
1. Bundle all of TinyMCE with your code
The best approach to solve this issue is to bundle all of TinyMCE's plugins and themes JavaScript with your code, and the skins CSS files with your CSS. Looking at your Grunt setup the best way to do this is to add overrides to your bower.json, e.g.
"overrides": {
"tinymce-dist": {
"main": [
"tinymce.js",
"plugins/lists/plugin.js",
"plugins/link/plugin.js",
/* Add all other plugins used here ... */
"themes/modern/theme.js",
"skins/lightgray/skin.min.css",
"skins/lightgray/content.min.css"
]
}
},
To stop TinyMCE trying to load the skin CSS files remotely you may need to set skin to false, e.g.
$scope.tinymceOptions = {
menubar: false,
height: 150,
skin: false,
...
}
2. Set explicit baseUrl
Alternatively you can tell TinyMCE what the base url should be by setting the baseUrl property on TinyMCE's config and re-implement the code to look for your script name, e.g.
.factory('uiTinymceConfig', function() {
var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName("script")
var config = {};
for (var i = 0; i < scripts.length; i++) {
src = scripts[i].src;
// Change this test to match the name of your script bundle
var srcScript = src.substring(src.lastIndexOf('/'));
if (/learn(\.min|)\.js/.test(src)) {
if (srcScript.indexOf('.min') != -1) {
config.suffix = '.min';
}
config.baseUrl = src.substring(0, src.lastIndexOf('/'));
break;
}
}
// Do this to set preInit options for suffix as angular-ui-tinymce doesn't respect suffix config
angular.extend(tinymce, config);
return config;
})
