I want to switch off the WYSIWYG editor: Set DISABLEDPLUGINS not working

I have been trying to disable the WysiwygPlugin using the disabling macro in SitePreferences of my own installation and also here on my profile BrianTibbels page but it doesn't seem to work. No problems on a current TWiki project. Is it me or has something changed?

   * Set DISABLEDPLUGINS = %SYSTEMWEB%.TinyMCEPlugin, %SYSTEMWEB%.WysiwygPlugin

Answer

For compatibility it still works the same way as it did in TWiki; do not add the web name, though.

In the interests of reducing the overhead of loading plugins, you should use the controls in configure for disabling sitewide. Run configure, and uncheck the "Enabled" switches for these two plugins.

like crawford said, if you want to disable the WYSIWYG editor globally, you should do it in configure and gain some speed back. if you want to disable it for a particular user (or web, or topic---you know how the preferences work), add this to the appropriate topic:

   * Set TINYMCEPLUGIN_DISABLE = 1
