TinyMCE 4 links plugin modal in not editable

Question

I am using tinyMCE4 editor inside a Boostrap modal dialog. when I clicked on link icon it opens a new modal dialog box, It displayed fine but the input areas are not editable.

<div id="editing" class="modal hide fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
    <form>
    <label>
      <span>Description</span>
      <div id="description"></div>
    </label>
     <form>
 </div>

  <script>
    tinymce.init({
    selector: 'div#description',
    inline: false,
    theme : "modern",
    schema: "html5",
    add_unload_trigger: false,
    statusbar: false,
    plugins: "link",
    toolbar: "link | undo redo",
    menubar: false
 });
    </script>

Any suggestions

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

From https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/issues/782

For jQuery UI dialogs you can do this:

$.widget("ui.dialog", $.ui.dialog, {
    _allowInteraction: function(event) {
        return !!$(event.target).closest(".mce-container").length || this._super( event );
    }
});

This seems to be a more generalized solution that you might be able to modify for Bootstrap:

$(document).on('focusin', function(e) {
    if ($(e.target).closest(".mce-window").length) {
        e.stopImmediatePropagation();
    }
});

Update:

For the new version of ag-grid (20.2.0), if you are using the silver theme, mce-window was renamed to tox-dialog so you can just change the target class.

$(document).on('focusin', function(e) {
    if ($(e.target).closest(".tox-dialog").length) {
        e.stopImmediatePropagation();
    }
});

Answer 2

Try

event.stopImmediatePropagation();

instead of

e.stopImmediatePropagation();

Worked for me

Answer 3

for bootstrap 5 with versions of tinymce 5 o above, you must use this,

// Prevent Bootstrap dialog from blocking focusin
   document.addEventListener('focusin', (e) => {
    if (e.target.closest(".tox-tinymce-aux, .moxman-window, .tam-assetmanager- 
        root") !== null) {
   e.stopImmediatePropagation();
   }
 });

Answer 4

For bootstrap 5 and Tinymce v4.7.9

Try

 document.addEventListener('focusin', function(e) {
    if (e.target.closest(".mce-window") !== null) {
    e.stopImmediatePropagation();
    }
  });

It works for me

Answer 5

Ran into this issue as well. The code provided by prabu on his JS Fiddle almost worked perfectly.

I had to make a slight modification to it so that it would work for the MoxieManager fields when they are open as well.

$(document).on('focusin', function(e) {
    if ($(e.target).closest(".mce-window").length || $(e.target).closest(".moxman-window").length) {
        e.stopImmediatePropagation();
    }
});

This allows for editing images or renaming file paths in the MoxieManager when opened inside a Bootstrap Modal. Thanks for this.

2019 solution:

$(document).on('focusin', function(e) {
    if ($(e.target).closest(".mce-window").length) {
        e.stopImmediatePropagation();
    }
});

Answer 7

The previous answer doesn't seem to work with Bootstrap v4 and TinyMCE v5. This is the modified solution should work:

  $(document).on('focusin', function(e) {
        if ($(e.target).closest(".tox-textfield").length)
            e.stopImmediatePropagation();
  });

Answer 8

For all those who are using Material UI and looking for a solution : set disableEnforcedFocus = true in your Modal/Dialog... This is because by default material ui gets the focus and whaterver component you open on that it will not get the focus so you have to do it manually.

Answer 9

To render TinyMCE instances inside Bootstrap UI dialogs, add the following code:

Bootstrap 4 or below

// Prevent Bootstrap dialog from blocking focusin
$(document).on('focusin', function(e) {
  if ($(e.target).closest(".tox-tinymce, .tox-tinymce-aux, .moxman-window, .tam-assetmanager-root").length) {
     e.stopImmediatePropagation();
  }
});

Bootstrap 5 or above

 // Prevent Bootstrap dialog from blocking focusin
  document.addEventListener('focusin', (e) => {
   if (e.target.closest(".tox-tinymce-aux, .moxman-window, .tam-assetmanager-root") !== null) {
      e.stopImmediatePropagation();
   }
  });

None of the solutions on this page seem to work for Firefox.

In chrome if I do the code below, it leads to a focus event. If I change event to the e parameter, it does not work in chrome.

The event which solves it in chrome is called Focus Event. I have not managed to find this with Firefox.

Anyone got it working in Firefox ?

$(document).on('focusin', (e) => {
    if ($(event.target).closest('.mce-window').length) {
      event.stopImmediatePropagation(); 
   }
});

Answer 11

In my case it was solved with the following code:

$(document).on('focusin', (e) => {
    if ($(e.target).closest('.mce-window').length) {
       $('.ModalHeader').attr('tabindex', '');
   }
});

Answer 12

my final workaround was to set the z-index of the appearing dialog higher than the z-index of the modal dialog. For example this would do the trick:

$(document).on('focusin', function(e) {
        if ($(e.target).closest(".tox-tinymce-aux, .moxman-window, .tam-assetmanager-root, .tox-dialog").length) {
            $('.tox-dialog').css('z-index', '2003');
            e.stopImmediatePropagation();
        }
    });

pretty sure that you can set the css globally too

Answer 13

The example reported at: http://fiddle.jshell.net/e99xf/13/show/light/

Works perfectly for the older versions of bootstrap (2.3.2) and jQuery (1.8.3)

I'm trying the same with the most up-to-date versions and it does not work: Bootstrap 3.3.7 / jQuery 3.2.1

Below is what I'm using (remembering that the link you entered works perfectly in the old versions of the js).

ps. I'm using the w3schools.com editor
