tinymce.self-1c5f1e7…e19.js?body=1:25152 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined

Hi, (I'm not experienced with tinymce so far).

I'm currently working on a rails project with tinymce, using the tinymce-rails 4.8.2. It works as long as I configure through the config/tinymce.yml only.

Now I needed to add custom buttons and, following some examples given in the web therefore added an init function, but even a simple

setup: function (ed) { }

or

setup: 'function (ed) { }'

in the config/tinymce.yml causes the editor to fail and to issue

tinymce.self-1c5f1e7…e19.js?body=1:25152 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined

on the console. Unfortunately the docs for the gem don't mention how to custom-setup the editor.

regards

Try removing the space between function and the parameters:

setup: 'function(ed) { ... }'

yeah. that helps. interesting. Almost all programming examples come with a space (e.g. https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/advanced/creating-a-custom-button/ and js is none of my common programming languages.)

However, this brings me one step further into the next problem. I'm calling my own function

function mytinymcesetup(editor) {

console.info("Start mytinymcesetup");
console.info(editor);

editor.addButton('mybutton', {
  text: 'My button',
  onclick: function () {
    editor.insertContent('&nbsp;<b>It\'s my button!</b>&nbsp;');
    }
});

console.info("End mytinymcesetup");

}

which is run after fixing that problem (output seen on the console), but that button I need to create is not created.

Is it possible that tinymce-rails overrides that?

My personal coding preference is for no space there (hence the current behaviour). However I'd definitely accept a PR to change that and accept whitespace between function and (.

I think what you may need to do is add it explicitly to the toolbar if you haven't already. That's the only thing that comes to my mind right now.
