Item11710: POP incompatible with TMCE

Editing a topic starts with a TMCE popup saying:

Unable to install TinyMCE: could not read "TINYMCEPLUGIN_INIT" from FoswikiTiny.init.

This does not happen when POP is disabled.

Tested with

• PageOptimizerPlugin (0.03, $Rev: 14468 (2012-03-26) $)
• TinyMCEPlugin (1.2.5, $Rev: 14269 (2012-03-09) $)
• Foswiki 1.1.5 RC1

Maybe related: Item11251

That's because POP violates ordering constraints (by purpose) between somefile.js and inline-javascript blocks.

The problem is also triggered because FoswikiTiny.install() is called too early in foswiki.js, i.e. before all of the page has been loaded. Normally, a js plugin should wait for that event to happen before running any code for exactly the reason that we see this problem reported above.

Another way to cure the problem would be to add an exclude feature to POP not to cache any js matching a specific pattern. Made a new release that adds this feature.

Works now when specifying {ExcludeJavaScript} = 'TinyMCEPlugin' in configure.

I am not trying to rework the TinyMCEPlugin's init process as this seems to be a lot more work.
