Create an Account on Tiny Cloud

By

Creating a blog post using TinyMCE (via Tiny Cloud) involves several steps, including integrating TinyMCE into your website, configuring it, and then using it to write and format your blog post. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Set Up TinyMCE

  1. Create an Account on Tiny Cloud:

    • Go to Tiny Cloud and create an account to get your API key.

  2. Add TinyMCE to Your Project:

    • Include the TinyMCE script in your HTML file. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the API key you obtained from Tiny Cloud.

      html
      <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>My Blog</title> <script src="https://cdn.tiny.cloud/1/YOUR_API_KEY/tinymce/5/tinymce.min.js" referrerpolicy="origin"></script> <script> tinymce.init({ selector: 'textarea#myeditor', plugins: 'advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview hr anchor pagebreak', toolbar_mode: 'floating', }); </script> </head> <body> <h1>Create a New Blog Post</h1> <form action="post_blog.php" method="post"> <textarea id="myeditor" name="content"></textarea> <button type="submit">Submit</button> </form> </body> </html>

Step 2: Configure TinyMCE

  • Customizing TinyMCE:

    • You can customize TinyMCE with various options like plugins and toolbar settings. Here’s an example configuration:

      javascript
      tinymce.init({ selector: 'textarea#myeditor', plugins: 'print preview paste importcss searchreplace autolink autosave save directionality code visualblocks visualchars fullscreen image link media template codesample table charmap hr pagebreak nonbreaking anchor toc insertdatetime advlist lists wordcount imagetools textpattern noneditable help charmap quickbars emoticons', menubar: 'file edit view insert format tools table help', toolbar: 'undo redo | bold italic underline strikethrough | fontselect fontsizeselect formatselect | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | outdent indent | numlist bullist | forecolor backcolor removeformat | pagebreak | charmap emoticons | fullscreen preview save print | insertfile image media template link anchor codesample | ltr rtl', toolbar_mode: 'floating', quickbars_selection_toolbar: 'bold italic | quicklink h2 h3 blockquote quickimage quicktable', quickbars_insert_toolbar: false, contextmenu: "link image imagetools table", height: 500, image_caption: true, content_css: '//www.tiny.cloud/css/codepen.min.css' });

Step 3: Write and Format Your Blog Post

  • Access the Editor:

    • Open your HTML file in a browser. You should see the TinyMCE editor ready for you to start writing.

  • Writing the Blog Post:

    • Use the editor to write and format your blog post. You can add headings, lists, images, links, and more using the toolbar options.

Step 4: Handle Form Submission

  • Server-Side Processing:

    • When you submit the form, the content from the TinyMCE editor will be sent to your server. You need to handle this on the server side to save the blog post content.

    • Here’s a simple example using PHP:

      php
      <?php if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { $content = $_POST['content']; // Save $content to your database or a file // Example: Save to a file file_put_contents('blog_post.html', $content); echo "Blog post saved!"; } ?>

      Save this as post_blog.php and ensure your form action points to this script.

Step 5: Display the Blog Post

  • Rendering the Post:

    • Retrieve the saved blog post content from your database or file and display it on your blog’s front end.

    • Example PHP script to display the content:

      php
      <?php $content = file_get_contents('blog_post.html'); ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Blog Post</title> </head> <body> <h1>My Blog Post</h1> <div> <?php echo $content; ?> </div> </body> </html>

By following these steps, you can set up TinyMCE, write and format your blog posts, handle the form submission, and display the blog posts on your website. TinyMCE’s rich text editing capabilities make it an excellent choice for creating and managing blog content.
