TinyPortal

So I was fighting with this for around 3 hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Kinda annoyed me a bit today.

My issue is that every time I would place my HTML in TnyMCE it would add code and delete some of mine trying to make it a .swf (flash) video rather than the .wmv (Windows movie). But after fighting with this for many hours I finally decided that maybe I should try a different editor. So instead of using TinyMCE I changed to Whizzywig. This allowed me to place my HTML without it changing anything on it's own.

Is there a reason why it does this?

What I am using:
TP v0.9.6beta
SMF v1.1.1

This is the code I place in TinyMCE
<!-- begin embedded WindowsMedia file... -->
      <table border='0' cellpadding='0' align="center">
      <tr><td>
      <OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="320" height="285"
      classid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95'
      codebase='http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701'
      standby='Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...' type='application/x-oleobject'>
      <param name='fileName' value="http://www.geforce3d.net/forums/stuff/small/small_media/small.wmv">
      <param name='animationatStart' value='true'>
      <param name='transparentatStart' value='true'>
      <param name='autoStart' value="true">
      <param name='showControls' value="true">
      <param name='loop' value="false">
      <EMBED type='application/x-mplayer2'
        pluginspage='http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/'
        id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' displaysize='4' autosize='-1'
        bgcolor='darkblue' showcontrols="true" showtracker='-1'
        showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='-1' videoborder3d='-1' width="320" height="285"
        src="http://www.geforce3d.net/forums/stuff/small/small_media/small.wmv" autostart="true" designtimesp='5311' loop="false">
      </EMBED>
      </OBJECT>
      </td></tr>
      <!-- ...end embedded WindowsMedia file -->
    <!-- begin link to launch external media player... -->
        <tr><td align='center'>
        <a href="http://www.geforce3d.net/forums/stuff/small/small_media/small.wmv" style='font-size: 85%;' target='_blank'>Launch in external player</a>
        <!-- ...end link to launch external media player... -->
        </td></tr>
      </table>

This is what it does to it
<!-- begin embedded WindowsMedia file... -->       <table cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center">       <tbody><tr><td>       <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="320" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.geforce3d.net/forums/stuff/small/small_media/small.wmv" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="http://www.geforce3d.net/forums/stuff/small/small_media/small.wmv" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="285"></embed></object>       </td></tr>       <!-- ...end embedded WindowsMedia file -->     <!-- begin link to launch external media player... -->         <tr><td align="center">         <a target="_blank" href="http://www.geforce3d.net/forums/stuff/small/small_media/small.wmv">Launch in external player</a>         <!-- ...end link to launch external media player... -->         </td></tr>       </tbody></table>

Sorry about it making the code like that. But that is what TinyMCE does to the code. Not only does it make it a long lin with no <*br> it also try's placing flash BS in it.

Any feed back on this or why it does this would be great.

No feed back, but I should let you know that TinyPortal no longer supports TinyMCE. We have dropped that editor in favor or wysiwyg and FCKeditor.

Gotcha...thanks for the quick reply!
