If the plugin was successfully installed, you should see something similar to this on the Plugins listing under System Overview.
There are two ways that the WYSIWYG editor can be used with Movable Type:
The first, and recommended method will cause the WYSIWYG editor to load as the new/edit entry page loads. You will need to set WYSIWYG as your default text formatting for new entries. This ensures that new entries use the WYSIWYG editor whilst this will not conflict with old entries. To set WYSIWYG as your default text formatting:
New Entry Defaults tab on the Blog Settings screen. From the drop down menu labelled Text Formatting choose WYSIWYG
The second way of using EnhancedEntryEditing is through the toggle buttons. These can be enabled via the plugin settings (Blog Settings > Plugins > EnhancedEntryEditing > Show Settings or System Overview > Plugins > EnhancedEntryEditing > Show Settings).
When enabled, a new button will appear in the formatting toolbar of the Entry Body and Extended Entry fields on the new/edit entry screen and will function as a toggle. Click and a WYSIWYG editor will be added to the corresponding textarea, click and it will be removed. This is compatible with all text formatters.
By default, EnhancedEntryEditing provides a fairly basic WYSIWYG editor. tinyMCE however is an extremely powerful editor which allows you to customize the buttons that appear in the WYSIWYG editor's toolbars. EnhancedEntryEditing provides an easy way to edit these configuration values without hacking the code. By default, a setting is provided that allows you to customize tinyMCE's configuration javascript both on the system-wide level (such that it applies to all blogs) or on the blog-level. More information on how to customize tinyMCE is available in the tinyMCE documentation
The current release of EnhancedEntryEditing (v) is only compatible with Movable Type 3.31 or higher. If you have an older version of Movable Type, check the list below for a compatible version of EnhancedEntryEditing:
