CF7 + Joomla 6 + TinyMCE 8

Co Colnem 29 Dec, 2025

Hi

I use CF7 with J6 and Tiny MCE 8.

It's ok … except for textarea Element with Rich Text Editor: The editor is disabled because a TinyMCE license key has not been provided

I have an account for TinyMCE, with an API key.

I create a module on site, assigned to all pages in which I write a textarea tag: <textarea>Hello<textarea>.This module works very fine, except when my page contain a CF7 form with a textarea element + Rich Text Editor!

TinyMCE+ Rich Text Editor is OK on CF8. I can't use CF8 for this time because I have too complex forms to rewrite and I'have not the time for the moment.

Have you a soluce for CF7?

Thanks

Hi Colnem

You should add this line in the TinyMCE config settings:

license_key: 'gpl',

That's how v8 make it work without a key, do you know where is the config file for tinymce in v7 ?

Hi

Found!

Added license_key: 'gpl', in file \plugins\system\chronog3_plg\chronog3\assets\js\g3.tinymce.js

So CF7 works very fine with Joomla6 and TinyMCE 8.
