How to enable Image/Links/... in Admin Articles

For some reason, when editing an article as an admin user from the Admin Interface, the "Links/Image/HTML source" options are all disabled in the TinyMCE editor (even though such features are enabled when editing an article as a logged-in member).

To enable such options for admins, simply edit the following file:

./admin/articles.php

And comment out the line containing "theme_advanced_disable" (should be line 51) by inserting 2 slashes (aka "//") at the beginning of the line. You should now be able to insert/edit images, links, as well as access the HTML source.

Also, if like me you find the admin TinyMCE editor too small, simple edit the following stylesheet:

./admin/styles/articles.css

In there search for "textarea.articl" and edit the width/height according to your needs!

Hope this helps,
