I managed to edit a file in controller to allow for the edit article link to be directly accessed if a user has a particular user name. Core edit but its a local website only only my pc so i am not worried.

Works when i fiew in some ie.
But another ie it doesnt show the editor only the input for the title. If i refresh the page it shows up. I looked at echo $this->form->getInput('articletext') in the edit.php and it is set to no editor when var dump. When i refresh the dump shows tiny_mce.

I cant for the life of me find what file or process sets the articletext editor and what it bases it on (checks session or something). I know it would check users editor because tinymce is this users defualt. It is also the sites default.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Rofht now i cant find how the editor is assigned in the php code. Otherwise i might be able to find what is missing from direct link to edit article.

Ive compared some var dumps of this form and this params. Not seing much of a difference from first view and refreshed view. Any advice?
