Tinymce in Orca Forum stopped working

I need help... please.  The Tinymce editor works in other mods but not in the Orca Forum.  The mouseover for the buttons works but clicking on those same buttons does nothing.  I can't even bold text.  And if I try to "Submit" after typing in the required minimum 5 characters (or more), I get a warning message stating I've not typed in enough characters.

Has anyone experience this and solved it?  I did tweak the Tinymce UI to add image upload manager and spellchecker but I checked it afterward and it worked.  

Thank you,

Paul

Did you add this only to forums or to other tiny_mce areas as well?  From what you are explaining, sounds like you added to the wrong file/location. 

Did you try to clear cache and cache_public via ftp (leaving any  .htaccess files). Also, clear your browser caches/cookies.

The changes I made to Tinymce were done within the \plugins\tiny_mce\ folder and the changes worked on all mods that call it.  I'm unsure what happened to have negatively affected only the Orca Forum module.  Yes, I cleared all caches and the entire browser history.

Ok, the orca forum tiny_mce has to be changed also, forums does not use the plugins/tiny_mce for changes.

Look in;

modules/boonex/forum/layout/base/xsl/canvas_init.xsl

you should see what you need to add/change, if not let me know

I looked and recognize it as one of the places I made changes to when I upgraded tinyMCE to the latest version 3.4.7 (was 3.3.9.3).  The tinyMCE we use in the default Boonex Orca module must be using the tinyMCE plugin in the "plugins" folder... if I remove it then no editor displays.  I suspect "canvas_init.xsl" is a config file used to set variables for tinyMCE when it is imported/included into the forum page.  I have this feeling that there is something subtly wrong with my tweaked version of canvas_init.  Unfortunately switching back to the original version does not help matters.  If you understand the code then I could send you a copy of the file to look at.

Also note that tinyMCE appears to work perfectly for my other modules... most of which are add-on or upgrades... such as: Events, Groups, Locations, Articles, News, Blogs, Page Editor, Email Template Editor,... to name a few.  Only the default Boonex Orca Forum failed to correctly load tinyMCE.  

I created a ticket with Boonex Support yesterday... no response yet.

Using Firebug the only error I found when trying to create a new topic in the Forum was "C[2] is undefined".  

A 'site' code search found that "C[2]" only appears in one file (two places):  \plugins\tiny_mce\tiny_mce.js  

I'd copy the code here but it looks like a compressed JavaScript file... a bit confusing to me.  Is there some easy way to define C[2] (to null?) to see if that resolves the problem?

 I'm still looking for help with this problem.  Boonex support has not responded... neither has TinyMCE support (though I expected their silence, from what I've heard).  Is it typical for Boonex support to ignore support requests from Premium members (Prime package)?  I can understand a delay of 24-48 hours but it's been more than 48hrs and still nothing... not even a friendly note to say they're busy but will get back to me soon... or even a blunt note stating they don't have a clue how to solve it and I'm on my own. *grin*
