Rails 5.2 tinymce_rails gem Not Showing Multiple Toolbars

Question

I have the TinyMCE gem installed on rails and it is showing the "Tools" toolbar and the code icon, but I can't get it to display more than that.

Because some toolbars are showing up, I know the gem is properly installed, but I can't get it to show other toolbars.

The text area is called like this:

    <%= f.text_area :notes, class: "tinymce", rows: 20, style: "width: 100%" %>

And the on-page script is like this:

  <%= tinymce_assets %>
  <%= tinymce plugins: ["wordcount", "code", "anchor", "casechange", "codesample", "hr", "link", "preview"] %>
  <script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
      tinymce.init({
        selector: "textarea.tinymce",  // change this value according to your HTML
        plugins: "code image link",
        toolbar: "styleselect | bold italic | code codeformat | undo redo",
        menubar: "tools"
      });
    });
  </script>

I have these in application.js:

//= require tinymce
//= require tinymce-jquery

However, I've tried it without tinymce-jquery as well, to no avail.

I have the following in config/tinymce.yml:

toolbar:
  - styleselect | bold italic code codeformat | undo redo
  - image | link | code | preview
plugins:
  - image
  - link

Can anyone see where I'm going wrong? I need more than just the code editor!

Answer 1

You are limiting you toolbar to display icons

//current code 
toolbar: "styleselect | bold italic | code codeformat | undo redo",

//add more items
toolbar: "insertfile undo redo | styleselect | bold italic | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent | link image jbimages",

Below the is code with all the possible features and you can also view it here

and as suggested by @VitauatsStocka, remove below code <%= tinymce plugins: ["wordcount", "code", "anchor", "casechange", "codesample", "hr", "link", "preview"] %>.
