MVC4 bundling with TinyMCE

I have an problem using MVC4 Bundling together with TinyMCE. I get this error:

    GET http://localhost:54717/Admin/EditText//langs/da.js 404 (Not Found) Site:1

    GET http://localhost:54717/Admin/EditText//plugins/save/editor_plugin.js 404 (Not Found)
Failed to load: http://localhost:54717/Admin/EditText//langs/da.js

The code looks like this( In BundleConfig.cs)

bundles.Add(
      new ScriptBundle("~/Scripts/Site").Include(
        "~/Scripts/jquery-1.9.1.js",
        "~/Scripts/tinymce/tiny_mce.js",
         "~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.10.1.js",
        "~/Scripts/jquery.ui.slider.js",
        "~/Scripts/oline.Base.js",
        "~/Scripts/Validate/Language/jquery.validationEngine-da.js",
        "~/Scripts/Validate/jquery.validationEngine.js",
        "~/Scripts/jquery.ui.effect-blind.js",
        "~/Scripts/jquery.placeholder.min.js"));

      BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true;

And in the layout:

@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/Site")

But if i remove the the tiny_mce.js form the bundling and place it like so <script src="~/Scripts/tinymce/tiny_mce.js"></script> it works just fine. Is it because i need to override the automatic loading by tinymce and place do it manually?

Solution

  • Just ran into this today too. It seems that when tinymce is bundled, it cannot locate other dependent scripts (plugins, editor template, etc).

    Since TinyMCE already comes minified, I solved this just by excluding it from the bundle and loading it separately. Something like this:

    @* include tinymce unbundled so it can find its plugins and other scripts internally when bundles are optimized *@
@if (BundleTable.EnableOptimizations)
{
    <script type="text/javascript" src="~/scripts/tinymce/tiny_mce.js"></script>
}
else
{
    <script type="text/javascript" src="~/scripts/tinymce/tiny_mce_src.js"></script>
}

@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/Site")

    This way, you are still using the pre-minified version when optimizations are enabled, and the raw source code while debugging. It does end up with more than one request being sent by the browser though.
