Research direction

Start in the Simple Pages TinyMCE setup for the add and edit pages, then compare it with the site's shared TinyMCE configuration, focusing on the media plugin. Done means Simple Pages uses the same configuration as the rest of the site and Tableau tags are no longer stripped.

Description

Hi there,

I've had a few folks that I work with try to embed Tableau visualizations in their Omeka sites, and those haven't been working because the tags keep getting stripped out. I've tracked down the problem to the "media" plugin for TinyMCE, and I've taken it out for the sites in question. I had to do this again in Simple Pages, because the plugin configures TinyMCE for the add and edit pages individually.

The bigger question about the media plugin itself might be a pain, from the limited Googling I've done, but it would be great if Simple Pages used the same TinyMCE config as the rest of the site.
