Hi.  
Some help please.  
I have installed TinyMCE plugin via composer  
composer require TinyMCE/TinyMCE  
It creates .\vendor\tinymce\tinymce folder.  
I tried to load the plugin in Application.php  
$this-\>addPlugin(‘TinyMCE/TinyMCE’);  
But I get **Fatal error** : Uncaught Cake\Core\Exception\MissingPluginException  
I have tried camel cased and lower case but nothig works.

Thanks.

TinyMCE is not a CakePHP plugin therefore you can’t just load it via

```auto
$this->addPlugin(‘TinyMCE/TinyMCE’);

```

See [Cakephp 3x Add TinyMCE text editor in 2 Steps](https://thecoderain.blogspot.com/2017/07/cakephp-3x-add-text-editor-tinyMCE.html) to see how you can implement TinyMCE with a textarea generated with CakePHP.

Basically you don’t need TinyMCE to be required/included via composer since it has no PHP code at all. It just lives in the frontend so you can just load its JS via an external URL
