Silverstripe Version:
4.4

Question:

I have installed elemental, performed a dev/rebuild and I don’t see “blocks” as an option in the content editor screen.

Everytime I add the below code to the elemental.yaml file it removes the tinymce box all together and does not provide a blocks option

If I remove the config yaml tinymce comes back but no blocks menu.

What is the best way to debug this?

Have you added ElementalArea in the template?

3

Is there anything being reported in the browser console? Any JS errors? Have you checked the server error logs to see if anything is being thrown when the CMS loads?

4

yes, you need the $ElementalArea var in your template (e.g. Page.ss).

5

As far as I know, the presence of the $ElementalArea tag in the template won’t have any effect on the CMS working. The question was about the editor screen not working.

This sounds like an issue I had. This might help? elemental not working upon fresh vanilla install? · Issue #766 · dnadesign/silverstripe-elemental · GitHub
