Version 2.0 includes an admin page for arranging the TinyMCE toolbar buttons, easy installation, a lot of bugfixes, customized "Smilies" plugin that uses the built-in WordPress smilies, etc. The admin page uses Scriptaculous and Prototype.js (similar to the "Widgets" admin page) that lets you "drag and drop" the TinyMCE buttons to arrange your own toolbars and enables/disables the corresponding plugins depending on the used buttons.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= After installing the plugin, the editor background is black/dark or the font is too small =
This is due to TinyMCE importing the styles from your theme and trying to make the editor look as close to your site as possible. However that may not work well in some themes. To fix it uncheck the "import the css classes" checkbox and then paste the names of the css classes you want to use in tadv-tinymce.css file located in "tinymce-advanced/css".
= No styles are imported in the Styles drop-down menu. =
These styles (just the classes) are imported from your current theme style.css file. However some themes use @import to load the actual css file(s). Tiny does not follow these links. To make the classes appear, add their names to tinymce.css file located in "tinymce-advanced/css". You do not need to copy the whole classes, just add the names, like that:
.my-class{}
.my-other-class{}
= I just added my css classes to tinymce.css but they are still missing from the editor. =
Click on "Save Changes" on the admin page of the plugin, even if you did not change any buttons. This will force TinyMCE to reload the css files.
= I have just installed this plugin, but it does not do anything. =
Log out of WordPress, clear your browser cache, quit and restart the browser and try again. If that does not work, there may be a caching proxy or network cache somewhere between you and your host. You may need to wait for a few hours until this cache expires.
= When I add "Smilies", they do not show in the editor. =
The "Emotions" button in TinyMCE adds the codes for the smilies. The actual images are added by WordPress when viewing the Post/Page. Make sure the checkbox "Convert emoticons to graphics on display" in "Options - Writing" is checked.
= The Media plugin is missing. =
Yes, the Media plugin is disabled in IE. It seems that it conflicts with some of the other js loaded when editing posts in WordPress. However it works nicely in both Firefox and Opera.
= Some of the window shows through in full screen mode. =
Click on "Save and continue editing" to refresh it.
= The plugin does not add any buttons. =
Make sure the "Use the visual editor when writing" checkbox under "Users - Your Profile" is checked.
