I'm currently working with the Django framework to build a content management system into a company website, and after successfully completing one page, began work on a different page that requires a rich text editor within the admin interface.
Having chosen TinyMCE for the job, I spent a lot of time on Monday trying to get it running correctly, but only managed to include a simple HTMLField(). Having been slightly confused by a number of differing tutorials, I've now encountered an error that I'm struggling to find a solution to, and one which I hoped the StackOverflow community might be able to help with.
Currently, I have the following code:
admin.py
from django.forms import *
from django.db.models import *
from tinymce.widgets import TinyMCE
from models import *
from django.contrib import admin
#class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
#content = forms.CharField(widget=TinyMCE(attrs={'cols': 80, 'rows': 10}))
#class Meta:
#model = MyModel
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
form = MyModelForm
admin.site.register(MyModelForm, MyModelAdmin)
The majority of this code has been commented out for debugging purposes, as the problem seems to be with models.py:
models.py
from django import forms
from django.contrib.flatpages.models import FlatPage
from tinymce.widgets import TinyMCE
class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
content = forms.CharField(widget=TinyMCE(attrs={'cols': 80, 'rows' : 30}))
class Meta:
model = FlatPage
This is the traceback I'm being presented with:

As you can see, tinymce appears to be correctly installed, and the problem lies with models.ModelForm
My aim, in case it isn't clear, is to create a simple MyModel model with one content field, editable using the TinyMCE Editor. If you think I could supply any more code to shed more light on the situation, please let me know. Thanks.
