Set TinyMCE Editor Param after Initialized

rated 0 times [ 48] [ 2] / answers: 1 / hits: 17903 / 13 Years ago, fri, january 20, 2012, 12:00:00

I am trying to set the readonly parameter in tinyMCE to true after tinyMCE has been initalized. I am trying to use this with wordpress to disable the postEditor if the post has already been published. I found some sources claiming that you can call:

tinyMCE.activeEditor.execCommand(

    'mceSetAttribute',

    false,

    {name:'readonly',value:true}

);

but I have been having no luck with that and have not found a solution.

An easier way to set this is tinyMCE.activeEditor.settings.readonly = true;
But the problem here is that the readonly setting affects the way tinymce gets initialized.
So setting it after tinymce is initialized won't have a big impact.

What you can do to prevent users from editing content in your editor is to set the contenteditable attribute of the editors iframe body to false:

tinymce.activeEditor.getBody().setAttribute('contenteditable', false);
