You only need the tinyMCE WIRIS Plugin and a server with Joomla 1.5 or higher installed.

Note: you should have a valid license to install the plugin in a production environment; otherwise, you can use the downloaded file just for demo purposes. To acquire the full rights license, please contact to info@wiris.com or visit www.wiris.com.

Unzip the tinyMCE WIRIS Plugin and copy the tiny_mce_wiris directory into your Joomla tinyMCE plugins directory. It is usually plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins. The final directory should be plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/tiny_mce_wiris. Now, give write permissions to plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/tiny_mce_wiris/cache and plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/tiny_mce_wiris/formulas directories to the web server user (it will be used to store formula MathML codes and temporal images).

1.3.1      On Joomla 1.5.14 or higher

Open plugins/editors/tinymce.php and search the line with this text:

$buttons1_add_before = implode( ',', $buttons1_add_before );

Now add this code before the line:

$plugins[] = 'tiny_mce_wiris';

$buttons2_add[] = 'tiny_mce_wiris_formulaEditor';        // For WIRIS Formula Editor

$buttons2_add[] = 'tiny_mce_wiris_CAS';                      // For WIRIS CAS

The final code should look like:

…

$plugins[] = 'tiny_mce_wiris';

$buttons2_add[] = 'tiny_mce_wiris_formulaEditor';        // For WIRIS Formula Editor

$buttons2_add[] = 'tiny_mce_wiris_CAS';                      // For WIRIS CAS

 

$buttons1_add_before           = implode( ',', $buttons1_add_before );

The final step is the activation of the extended tinyMCE editor. In Joomla administrator panel, go to Extensions à Plugin Manager and click on Editor – TinyMCE. Now, on Functionality field (on right panel), choose Extended and then save changes.

1.3.2      On Joomla lower than 1.5.14

Open plugins/editors/tinymce.php and search the line with this text:

$buttons2 = implode(',', $buttons2);

Now add this code before the line:

$plugins[] = 'tiny_mce_wiris';

$buttons2[] = 'tiny_mce_wiris_formulaEditor';        // For WIRIS Formula Editor

$buttons2[] = 'tiny_mce_wiris_CAS';                      // For WIRIS CAS

The final code should look like:

…

$plugins[] = 'tiny_mce_wiris';

$buttons2[] = 'tiny_mce_wiris_formulaEditor';        // For WIRIS Formula Editor

$buttons2[] = 'tiny_mce_wiris_CAS';                      // For WIRIS CAS

 

$buttons2 = implode(',', $buttons2);

⁽¹⁾ The WIRIS plugin needs to access an external server to get additional resources (formula editor applet, image service and WIRIS CAS). See architecture for more information. The default configuration connects to services.wiris.com to get such services. However, you might consider acquiring a production access. Under certain circumstances it is possible to install all necessary services in the customer server (not only the plugin).
