Change tinyMce editor's height dynamically
You can resize tinymce with the resizeTo theme method:
editorinstance.theme.resizeTo (width, height);
The width and height set the new size of the editing area - I have not found a way to deduce the extra size of the editor instance, so you might want to do something like this:
editorinstance.theme.resizeTo (new_width - 2, new_height - 32);
Try:
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "exact",
elements : "elm1",
....
To change size dynamically in your javascript code:
var resizeHeight = 350;
var resizeWidth = 450;
tinyMCE.DOM.setStyle(tinyMCE.DOM.get("elm1" + '_ifr'), 'height', resizeHeight + 'px');
tinyMCE.DOM.setStyle(tinyMCE.DOM.get("elm1" + '_ifr'), 'width', resizeWidth + 'px');
The following comes in from this other SO answer I posted:
None of the above were working for me in TinyMCE v4, so my solution was to calculate the height based on the toolbars/menu bar/status bar, and then set the height of the editor, taking those heights into consideration.
function resizeEditor(myHeight) {
window.console.log('resizeEditor');
myEditor = getEditor();
if (myEditor) {
try {
if (!myHeight) {
var targetHeight = window.innerHeight; // Change this to the height of your wrapper element
var mce_bars_height = 0;
$('.mce-toolbar, .mce-statusbar, .mce-menubar').each(function(){
mce_bars_height += $(this).height();
});
window.console.log('mce bars height total: '+mce_bars_height);
myHeight = targetHeight - mce_bars_height - 8; // the extra 8 is for margin added between the toolbars
}
window.console.log('resizeEditor: ', myHeight);
myEditor.theme.resizeTo('100%', myHeight); // sets the dimensions of the editable area
}
catch (err) {
}
}
}
In my case, I wanted the editor window to match the width and height of the actual window
, since the editor would come up in a popup. To detect changes and resize, I set this to a callback:
window.onresize = function() {
resizeEditor();
}
