jce editor media manager with swf, wmv files etc

Joomla! 1.5.8+ 'cleans' content on saving, removing many useful elements such as object, script, iframe and style, despite different JCE plugins and methods to protect this code.
A simple article parameter change is all that is required to fix this.
See this article - http://docs.joomla.org/Why_does_some_HTML_get_removed_from_articles_in_version_1.5.8%3F

.. and after the video file code is not being stripped out and if it is still not loading try removing the baseurl script eg.

Artisteer Frontend editor button hiding problem fix

If it's helpful to anyone else, I just edited and replaced the following HTML table code in this file --> com_content --> article --> form.php.


It just removes all of the styling around the buttons themselves, but leaves the rest of the styled form intact.








escape($this->article->title); ?>" maxLength=100 size=50 name=title> escape($this->article->alias); ?>" type=hidden name=alias> " type=button> " type=button>

jce editor lightbox probs

I downloaded & Installed the utility(and published), Thru the Plugin Manager enabled, went to the article, edited the image with right click, selected Insert/Edit Image, selected the PopUp label, Enabled, selected LightBox/SlimBox, (It still appears "Requires 3rd party frontend script") Updated, went to Front End, press F5.

All the info says that should work .. but did not popup image in lightbox.

Fix 1: The popup did not work while "Done but with errors on page" showed in ie. It was a mootools.js conflict on line 53 and 59 of the template (top menu submenus). Fix the template, upload it and make as default template.

This now works as it should in ie but not firefox or chrome :(

Fix 2: Fine tuning the image manager is the key to making the image popup in firefox & chrome so that it does not open up the error 404 page in the lightbox popup.
A) Make sure you insert the url of the popup image into the popup url .. if not using thumbnails just copy and paste same image url.
B) Do not add the Title or Class "jcepopup" to the Advanced tab of Image Manager Extended.

Yeah it now works in ie, firefox and chrome which is the main browsers I am to focus on :)
