Using TinyMCE with SimpleForm

[Konstantinos Pachnis]

Hi,

I am trying to use simple_form with TinyMCE using the tiny_mce gem,
but unfortunately I am unable to submit the form.

This is the snippet from the view code

<%= perk_form.input :description, :input_html => { :class =>
'mceEditor' } %>

The generated html for this creates the text_area and shows TinyMCE
but the its class value is "text required mceEditor", the result is
that the form can not be posted.

If I change the code to

<%= perk_form.text_area :description, :class => 'mceEditor' %>

it works, but the TinyMCE is not validated with simple_form.

Any thoughts how I could overcome this would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Konstantinos

You are doing it right, this is the way to do it:

<%= perk_form.input :description, :input_html => { :class =>
'mceEditor' } %>

The required option being added to the text area may be toe problem, if you're using Chrome for instance it'd validate and not allow you to post the form without informing a value in this field.

If that's what is going on with you, there is some more info here: https://github.com/plataformatec/simple_form/wiki/HTML5-Attributes
