Admin Editor Issue was created by orchid1

Hello Flexicontent, I found a bug in the latest release
I have documented it here in this video on youtube.

Basically the editor in the item creation form doesn't recognize my preference. I have my preference set as JCE but it keeps returning back to Tiny MCE. I have checked the global setting its also set to JCE and I have set my users setting which is also set for JCE. Also Tiny MCE won't resize. This is an issue because the default size for tinymce is very small. Please check out the link in youtube I have shown the issue there very clearly.
Thanks for looking into it. I tried to debug it but I could not find it.

Please upgrade to r1465, it has a couple of important bug-fixes and new features.

The behavior you describe is strange, i cannot reproduce it. I don't see reason for this happening and only difference in the URLs

first edit has
cid[]=...
and second with tinymce has
cid=...

after saving, can you add [] to the URL cid and click enter?

It could be a third party plugin that you have? that is interfering with the chosen editor?

You could send me a PM with admin login to review this

It seems that (is inside textarea.php plugin file):

Code:

$editor = & JFactory::getEditor();

will only use the default editor and disregard the user setting (this worked in J1.5 but it does not in J2.5)

But this will work correctly:

Code:

$app =& JFactory::getApplication();
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$editor_name = $user->getParam('editor', $app->getCfg('editor'));
$editor = & JFactory::getEditor($editor_name);

Thanks for looking into that, but can you tell me where I can put that code in Joomla 2.5? I tried putting it in the view but that didn't work because that line of code isnt used or needed.
