What is this Tip?

Rating: 1.3/5 (7 votes cast)

Joomla 1.5 is a very feature rich Content Management Application and it is Open Source. It can be quite frustrating if you want to insert a form inside an article and you want to design the necessary form outside the Joomla 1.5 enironment, say in your favorite webpage editor. In the article manager the default article editor, i.e TinyMCE strips any Form tag elements pasted into its HTML code editor. To change this behavior of the editor follow the below given tip.
How to implement this Tip?

Log into the administration area of your Joomla 1.5 website.

2. From the Extensions menu access the Plugin Manager menu item.

3. Inside the Plugin manager look for the plugin named Editor - TinyMCE 2.0 Click on it to open its edit page.

4. In the Plugin Edit page find the Plugin Parameters section on the right side of the screen. Ensure that the Functionality drop down is set to Advanced, Code Cleanup radio button is turned Off and Compressed Version radio button is turned Off.

5. Click Save to make the changes made to the TinyMCE plugin.

6. Now in your articles you can insert forms designed in other web page editors by pasting into the HTML view of the editor.
