RichText Edit broken when plone.app.widgets is installed

[mtrebron]

The edit popup for RichText content is missing the HTML editor. To reproduce:

Create a new Plone 4.3.6 instance
Add a new Plone site and check only plone.app.contenttypes
Notice how the edit page view is using p.a.widgets.
Return to the add-on screen and install collective.cover
Create a new cover page, add a rich text tile to the layout and attempt to edit the tile.

Possibly related: #418

Unfortunately, I need p.a.w 1.8.0 for this project, because its fixes 404 errors when looking @@qsOptions and @@getVocabulary in the LRF when using plone.app.multilingual

Any help or workaround is welcome...

Update on the above:

My use case was resolved by staying away completely from plone.app.widgets. IMO there should be a note in the readme about this.

FWIW, my working version pins, using TinyMCE and replacing the subject field with collective.plone4widgetsfallback - in case anyone else stumbles across this issue:

plone.app.multilingual = 2.0.0
plone.app.contenttypes = 1.1b5
collective.cover = 1.0.a11

plone.app.event = 1.1.4
plone.z3cform = 0.8.1
plone.theme = 2.1.5

this was already reported by @fulv in #418 and there's some work on:

#469

I have no idea on how to solve it and have no time/resources to take care of it now.

contributions are welcome.

@mtrebron actually I forked c.cover and moved the templates to use patterns for configuration data and editing see https://github.com/petschki/collective.cover (just synced it with master right now). @hvelarde I'm not shure about how to handle both worlds (Plone 4.x w/o widgets and Plone 4.x with p.a.contenttypes and p.a.widgets) ... maybe you have a suggestion for me, so I can contribute that code to the collective.

[hvelarde]

@petschki I'm not sure neither but I think that could be the future when we have a version compatible with Plone 5.

@cguardia @alecpm @cewing what do yuo guys think?

@rodfersou FYI

[alecpm]

@hvelarde this issue has come up for us on our Plone 5 branch, and we're planning to look into it soon I think.

[hvelarde]

@petschki maybe you can collaborate with @alecpm

[hvelarde]

@rodfersou I can confirm the issue with plone.app.widgets==1.8.0
