After 6  hours of messing around - I finally have a wysiwyg editor working on the the new drupal site

What a nightmare to get this working - I tried so many permulations

I wanted to use tinymce - but that drupal module has been deprecated - with a large red message telling me I must use the new  wysiwyg api

Foolishly - I decided to try use the wysiwyg api  module

The instructions of getting IMCE and tinymce point to this location and are followed by 100 comments of people saying "that worked for me", "no that didnt work". It didnt work for me.

So I decided to switch to FCKEditor (but within the wysiwyg api module) - In this comment I discovering I needed  imce_wysiwyg module

Installing that worked - I had

all working together - great. But now I wanted to be able to enter code in blocks inside the editor as well

I came across Genshi Pro - but I couldnt get it to work.

So I decided to ditch the wysiwyg module - took the advice here and installed

that worked - I once again had FCK editor and IMCE working together

I then installed GeSHi filter and configured it correctly

Then followed the instructions here  to GenShi(code highlighting) + FCK Editor(wysiwyg editor) + IMCE(image upload) - all working together. There was error on this page - the <style tags must have a capital S
