HTMLArea3 XTD Does Not Work with Mambo SEO Feature (IE Only)

I installed HTMLArea3 XTD to a Mambo website, it works great in Mozilla Firefox but my partner reports that Internet Explorer returns an error.

After some testing, I found that it is something to do with HTMLArea3. But, there is another site with the same version of HTMLArea3 XTD installed and works fine in both Firefox and IE?! :roll:

I check the site configuration one-by-one… Finally, it is caused by the SEO feature in Site -> Global Configuration. Say NO to “Search Engine Friendly URLs” and everything works fine in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. :grin:

Thought:
The SEO feature is great to make your Mambo site to be “Search Engine Friendly”. In order to use the great HTMLArea, we have no choice but to turn SEO feature off.

I believe we can edit the .htaccess file to solve the problem. Well, I am now exhausted… :neutral:

  • Just wondering, what's the difference between this version and HTMLArea2? Is it worth the download?
    Thanks! :grin: Good site!
  • htmlarea2 is not cross browswer compatible, but htmlarea3 works on BOTH IE and Netscape/Mozilla browsers. Plus, htmlarea has more advance functions. :)
  • Hi,
    by chance I came accross this site and saw your problem.

    I don't know which version of Mambo you are using but you'll need to move up the initEditor() function before one of these:

    Mambo 4.5.0 include ("includes/metadata.php");
    Mambo 4.5.1 mosShowHead();

    This will do the trick.

    Best regards,

    Mambo and seo is a bit tricky but you can manage every element of the page starting with descriptors(keywords for example - META) title tag etc. I don't find mambo to be that great compared to Joomla or wordpress but it will do most of the hard work for you.
