Topic: WYSIWYG bar not showing

Hi guys, I've a problem with displaying the WYSIWYG bar (bold, italic, underline, etc.) in a new post or probably I'm looking over something but I used an older version of cutenews which worked just fine. Using the newest version 1.5.3 for a different site with a new host didn't show me the bar.

The bar above is what I've on my older version. I can't seem to make it appear in the newest version, with the settings above. The Ckeditor is enabled.
What am I doing wrong/missing here?

Thanks in advance.

Re: WYSIWYG bar not showing

Maybe the wrong ckeditor skin.

Check:

cutenews/core/skins/???

to change in:

cutenews/skins/base_skin/editnews/editnews/index_cke.tpl

line 152

skin: 'name',

Never changed the skin, should still be the default. This is what it says in the "customize CKEditor box" now [default as well]: 

['Source','Maximize','Scayt','PasteText','Undo','Redo','Find',
 'Replace','-','SelectAll','RemoveFormat',
 'NumberedList','BulletedList','Outdent','Indent'],

['Image','Table','HorizontalRule','Smiley'],
['Link','Unlink','Anchor'],
['Format','FontSize','TextColor','BGColor'],
['Bold','Italic','Underline','Strike','Blockquote'],
['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock']

I checked the skin name and that's still the standard "v2" (in cutenews/skins/base_skin/editnews/editnews/index_cke.tpl).
In cutenews/core/ckeditor/skins I also have the folder v2.

Re: WYSIWYG bar not showing

The same problem occurred when I tried to add in a toolbar option.
The option to change the ckeditor toolbar is broken. It you attempt to change any of the options it will fail and the toolbar will not display.
Try this:
Upload a new copy of skins/base_skin/default/ckeditor.options.tpl
If you have changed the addnews/index_cke.tpl then upload a new copy of that also.
Go to the options>System Configurations and deselect ckeditor in 'Use WYSIWYG Editor'.
Save Changes
Now reselect ckeditor.
Save Changes
Now retry add news and see if the toolbar appears.

The toolbar will also fail to appear if you add in a toobar option and it cannot find the plugin that goes with it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I just tried that but it still doesn't work. Not even when I copy an entirely new copy, which is strange as it works on my local machine and, juts noticed, on another test host just fine.
Could it be something serverside? But the only thing that matters would be the permission settings right? And those are all good (doesn't even work w/ everything at 755/777) and no errors.

Re: WYSIWYG bar not showing

Have tried deleting and uploading a completely new core/ckeditor ?

Re: WYSIWYG bar not showing

Just did, still the same unfortunately. Even if I copy the entire [working] folder from my local machine to the host it acts the same... Can't figure it out.

Re: WYSIWYG bar not showing

On final thing to try:
Download a legacy version of cutenews 1.5.2 and upload its copy of skins/base_skin/addnews/index_cke.tpl
just to check that the problem is not with the new configuration panel.

Re: WYSIWYG bar not showing

Thanks for the help! It's solved when I deleted the .htaccess file in ckeditor
