Hi Rob,

I've recently deployed XWiki (3.1m1) in a Tomcat 6 container, and was playing around with the editing features when I noticed that the WYSIWYG editor menu, which is supposed to sit right above the editor toolbar, is missing. I've been unsuccessful in finding any posts regarding this issue, and there doesn't seem to be very much information in the documentation about it. Is there something that I need to do to enable it? or maybe I've done something wrong. Perhaps someone can provide some hints to help.
We need more details:
* is it a clean 3.1M1? You didn't upgrade from a previous version and you have imported the default 3.1M1 XAR, right? * did you try to clear your browser cache? * what browser are you using and which version? * in the WYSIWYG editor administration section the menu configuration is not empty, right? Are you able to edit the menu configuration?
* Yes, it was a clean 3.1M1 installation, not an upgrade. * I did import the default 3.1M1 XAR. * Clearing the browser cache (and cookies) made no difference in any browser. * I've been using Firefox 5.0, but tried Explorer 7 in response to your question. Both manifest the same issue. * The menu configuration had some configured defaults (all that are available, I believe). * I've tried removing, re-adding, and rearranging the menu items. I also haven't noted any errors in the tomcat logs; although, I suspect this is probably a browser/client issue and not a server one. I think I'll try out the all-in-one zip again. It might be my imagination, but I don't recall seeing the menu the last time I ran that one when I was evaluating xwiki.
In a similar note which may or may not be related, I've also noticed that the Styles widget on the toolbar does not work. I noticed that for most buttons (features according to the docs), after you have added the appropriate plugin, the feature name autofills when you begin typing its name. This never happened with the "style" plugin's "stylename" feature. If I fill it out, the Style select box appears but does not contain any styles.
This is normal because XWiki Enterprise doesn't provide any styles by default. If you want to use this feature you have to create the styles by defining CSS classes in your skin (e.g. .error{color:red}) and then registering them in the WYSIWYG editor administration section, at the bottom of the page (e.g. style name = error).
That wasn't clear to me when I asked the question (although I hadn't looked too deeply into it). Thanks!
