Troubleshooting TinyMCE in Bootstrap 4 Modal Dialogs

If you're working with TinyMCE in a Bootstrap modal dialog and facing issues with content disappearing or becoming unresponsive upon re-opening the modal, you're not alone. Many developers encounter this roadblock when integrating editable content dynamically with AJAX. In this post, we’ll break down the problem and present a solution that can help you reconfigure TinyMCE for a seamless user experience.

Understanding the Problem

Using TinyMCE for text editing within Bootstrap modal dialogs can be tricky, especially when loading content dynamically via AJAX. Upon re-opening the modal, users noticed that:

The TinyMCE editor appears but is empty.

The editor is unresponsive and cannot be clicked or focused.

What Causes the Issue?

This issue typically arises when TinyMCE is not adequately destroyed and reinitialized upon the modal dialog's reopening. The common strategies involving tinyMCE.execCommand('mceRemoveControl') or tinymce.remove() seem ineffective, leaving you with a non-functioning editor.

Solution: Properly Reinitialize TinyMCE

The key to resolving this issue is to ensure that TinyMCE is being initialized correctly and at the right time. Here’s how you can ensure that TinyMCE reinitializes properly each time the modal is opened.

Step 1: Initialize TinyMCE Asynchronously

Adjust your initialization function to ensure that TinyMCE is called after the modal dialog has completely loaded. Here’s an example of how to achieve this:

Use setTimeout to give the modal a brief moment to fully load before initializing TinyMCE. This can alleviate timing issues that may prevent the editor from rendering properly.

Step 2: Remove TinyMCE Before Closing the Modal

When you close the modal, it's essential to remove TinyMCE from the textarea to prepare for a fresh initialization the next time you open it. You can do this with the following code:

This simple line ensures that TinyMCE is completely removed from the textarea associated with your modal dialog.

Conclusion

By applying these two key steps—initializing TinyMCE asynchronously after the modal has loaded and ensuring it is correctly removed before closing—you can solve the issue of TinyMCE disabling after an AJAX content reload. This method allows you to effectively open and close your dynamic Bootstrap modal without losing any functionality in your TinyMCE editor.

Remember, maintaining a responsive and interactive user experience is key to any successful web application. Implementing these changes will ensure that your editable content works flawlessly every time a modal is opened. Happy coding!
