Thetinymce-rails gem integrates theTinyMCE editor with the Rails 3.1 asset pipeline.

1. Addtinymce-rails to your Gemfile

gem 'tinymce-rails'

Then runbundle install.

2a. Use TinyMCE with the jQuery extension

Add to your application.js:

//= require tinymce-jquery

and use TinyMCE in your view:

<%= text_area_tag :editor, "", :rows => 40, :cols => 120 %><script type="text/javascript">  $(function() {    $('textarea').tinymce({      theme: 'advanced'    });  });</script>

2b. Use TinyMCE without jQuery

Add to your application.js:

//= require tinymce

Use TinyMCE in your view:

<%= text_area_tag :editor, "", :rows => 40, :cols => 120 %><script type="text/javascript">  tinyMCE.init({    mode: 'textareas',    theme: 'advanced'  });</script>

To use custom plugins or skins, simply add the files to your asset load path so that they are locatable at a path beneathtinymce/plugins/ ortinymce/themes/advanced/skins/.

For example, a plugin calledmycustomplugin could have its main JS file atapp/assets/javascripts/tinymce/plugins/mycustomplugin/editor_plugin.js.

Any files with a path beginning withtinymce/ will be automatically precompiled.

When new versions of TinyMCE are released, simply update thetinymce-rails gem to the latest version. There is no need to run any extra rake tasks (apart fromrake assets:precompile).
