Are you editing using the Web Editor or Share?

OK, here's what it is: the error says, that is missing a tinymce object, which wasn't created. After comparing files with 3.4.c version of AWE I noticed, that in file "awe-plugin-context.xml", the Alfresco TinyMCE javascript has a dependency on the "com.moxiecode.tinymce" patched script, which is missing in version 4.0.

Comparison:
Alfresco 4.0.b

   <bean id="alfrescoTinyMCE" class="org.springframework.extensions.webeditor.WEFResourceImpl">
      <property name="name" value="org.alfresco.editors.tinymce" />
      <property name="description" value="Alfresco wrapped TinyMCE control" />
      <property name="path" value="/res/modules/editors/tiny_mce.js" />
      <property name="type" value="js" />
   </bean>

Alfresco 3.4.c

   <bean id="alfrescoTinyMCE" class="org.springframework.extensions.webeditor.WEFResourceImpl">
      <property name="name" value="org.alfresco.editors.tinymce" />
      <property name="description" value="Alfresco wrapped TinyMCE control" />
      <property name="path" value="/res/modules/editors/tiny_mce.js" />
      <property name="type" value="js" />
      <property name="dependencies">
         <list>
            <ref bean="tinyMCE" />
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>
   
   <bean id="tinyMCE" class="org.springframework.extensions.webeditor.WEFResourceImpl">

Has something been changed in these javascript libraries?

OK, now it works.

I had to add the xml dependency stated in the previous post to file "awe-plugin-context.xml" and package it with other files to new "alfresco-webeditor-plugin-4.0.b.jar" file.

In the "alfresco-forms-client-4.0.b.jar" file I had to patch "tiny_mce_src.js" file and add a min variant of the javascript file.

Replaced the two jars in awe folder on the server -> restart and it started working. The TinyMCE editor displays and functions correctly in the WCMQS web sites (tested on Chrome, Firefox and IE).

Thank you very much for persisting with this. I've raised ALF-11310 in Jira, and referenced this thread for information.

Thanks for your help, I've now fixed this issue. It was caused by a TinyMCE upgrade we did for Share in a common library that AWE/WQS also uses.
The fix is commited to HEAD (r32082), so should be available in the public SVN or in the next nightly build/community release.

David.
