tinyMCE options

How can I toggle the readonly state in an initialized tinyMCE container?

Whilst the tinyMCE is initialised in a common javascript file, the option I want to change is specific to the logic of an individual page, and changes based on user's input via a checkbox.

This are some of the things I tried and all resulted in failure: http://pastebin.com/JEn2fyE6

Please check this code

setTimeout(function () { for (var i = 0; i < tinymce.editors.length; i++) { tinymce.editors[i].getBody().setAttribute('contenteditable', false); }; },1000);

I just managed to do it this way:

Having the textarea set with id intro I do this

if($('.disabled_check').is(':checked')) {
    $('#intro_ifr').contents().find('body').attr('contenteditable', false);
}

You may set this setting after init using

tinymce.get('my_editor_id').settings.readonly = false;

But this won't influence the editor behaviour in the way you desire because the relevant part were processed while initialization.

The working approch here is what JP Hellemons already stated.

So you want to set this option http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:readonly after the init. according to this thread: http://www.tinymce.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=15488 it can not be done according to the folks of the tinymce forum.

This S.O. answer seems to work: Set TinyMCE Editor Param after Initialized 

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

If it does not, this topic has a workaround: http://forum.morfik.com/posts/21058 create two instances of tinymce one readonly, one normal and only display the desired one.
