Django integration

Django TinyMCE component.

Important: This Integration is maintained by a third-party developer. Tiny Technologies, Inc. bears no responsibility for this integration, which is not covered by the Tiny Self-Hosted Software License Agreement. For issues related to the integration, contact the third-party project directly.

For information on adding TinyMCE to a Django project, try using the Python-based django-tinymce package. For information on setting up django-tinymce, see: the django-tinymce Documentation. To use an newer version of TinyMCE, use the Tiny Cloud or statically host a manually downloaded copy of TinyMCE.

Using the Tiny Cloud with django-tinymce

To load TinyMCE from the Tiny Cloud, update the project’s settings.py file:

Set TINYMCE_JS_URL to the Tiny Cloud CDN.
Ensure TINYMCE_COMPRESSOR is set to False.

For example:

TINYMCE_JS_URL = 'https://cdn.tiny.cloud/1/no-api-key/tinymce/5/tinymce.min.js'
TINYMCE_COMPRESSOR = False

Using self-hosted TinyMCE with django-tinymce

If you’d rather download and install the script manually:

Get the package from TinyMCE Downloads.
Unzip the package and move the 'path/to/tinymce/' directory into the django project.
Add a URL path to the tinymce directory.
Add the relevant configuration setting:
- If you do not need the TINYMCE_COMPRESSOR (TINYMCE_COMPRESSOR = False), add TINYMCE_JS_URL to the project’s settings.py file pointing to tinymce/tinymce.min.js. Such as:
```
  TINYMCE_JS_URL = os.path.join(MEDIA_URL, "path/to/tinymce/tinymce.min.js")
  TINYMCE_COMPRESSOR = False
```
- If you do need the TINYMCE_COMPRESSOR (TINYMCE_COMPRESSOR = TRUE), add TINYMCE_JS_ROOT to the project’s settings.py file pointing to the tinymce/ root directory. Such as:
```
 TINYMCE_JS_ROOT = os.path.join(MEDIA_URL, "path/to/tinymce")
 TINYMCE_COMPRESSOR = True
```
