I am using ruby on rails 3.2.1. For my post formatting I want to use TinyMCE, but I have problem with it.

  1. I have installed tinymce gem and restarted server.
  2. Downloaded tinymce and putted it in \myapp name\app\assets

  3. My application head:

    <head>
<title>Līvu pamatskola</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'style' %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
<%= csrf_meta_tag %>
<script type="text/javascript" src="D:/Projects/Myapp name/app/assets/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas",
theme : "simple"   });
</script>
</head>

  4. Made /MyApp name/config/tinymce.yml file with:

    theme_advanced_toolbar_location: top
theme_advanced_toolbar_align: left
theme_advanced_statusbar_location: bottom
theme_advanced_buttons3_add:
 - tablecontrols
 - fullscreen
plugins:
 - table
 - fullscreen

  5. In /MyApp name/app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require tinymce-jquery

In result I have nice formatting panel @post content field, but after saving post I can see text with html tags, not formated text. I think there is problems with installation.

    It sounds as though your view is automatically escaping the html parts of your @post content field.

    In your view you can do <%= raw @post.content %> or <%= @post.content.html_safe %>

    You can read this rails guide about outputting html safely http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_support_core_extensions.html#output-safety and this stackoverflow post about the differences between raw and html_safe raw vs. html_safe vs. h to unescape html
