how to make tinymce input read only

I want to make tinymce input to read only. i have tried with the below code. Please help me with this issue.
tinymce.init({
selector: '#deliberations',
menubar: false,
readonly: true,
branding: false,
height: 100,
max_height: 400,
theme: 'modern',
toolbar: false,
toolbar_items_size: 'small',
plugins: ['advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview hr anchor pagebreak','searchreplace wordcount visualblocks visualchars code fullscreen','insertdatetime media nonbreaking save table contextmenu directionality','emoticons template paste textcolor colorpicker textpattern imagetools codesample toc help'],
toolbar1: 'insert | undo redo | styleselect | bold italic | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent | link image print preview media | forecolor backcolor emoticons | fullscreen | table',
image_advtab: true,
templates: [{
title: 'Test template 1',
content: 'Test 1'
},
{
title: 'Test template 2',
content: 'Test 2'
}
],
content_css: [
]
});

If you are using version 4.x, remove the readonly: true option and try
setup: function (editor) {
editor.setMode("readonly")
},

As stated in the TinyMCE docs https://www.tinymce.com/docs-3x/reference/configuration/Configuration3x#readonly/ the readonly attribute should be set to '1' not to 'true'.
tinymce.init({
selector: '#deliberations',
menubar: false,
readonly: 1,
branding: false,
height: 100,
max_height: 400,
theme: 'modern',
toolbar: false,
toolbar_items_size: 'small',
plugins: ['advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview hr anchor pagebreak','searchreplace wordcount visualblocks visualchars code fullscreen','insertdatetime media nonbreaking save table contextmenu directionality','emoticons template paste textcolor colorpicker textpattern imagetools codesample toc help'],
toolbar1: 'insert | undo redo | styleselect | bold italic | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent | link image print preview media | forecolor backcolor emoticons | fullscreen | table',
image_advtab: true,
templates: [{
title: 'Test template 1',
content: 'Test 1'
},
{
title: 'Test template 2',
content: 'Test 2'
}
],
content_css: [

});

TinyMCE print plugin

I'm trying to add print plugin to my TinyMCE widget, but it doesn't work :
var option_tinymce = {
script_url : '/ui/js/tinymce/tinymce.min.js',
plugins: "code autosave insertdatetime textcolor print",
toolbar1: "print code | bold italic underline strikethrough | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | outdent indent | undo redo | removeformat | forecolor backcolor | formatselect | restoredraft",
menubar: false,
toolbar_items_size: 'small',
language: 'fr_FR',
setup: function(editor) {
editor.on('change', function(e) {
$(editor.formElement).find('[name="modification_form"]').val("Yes");
});
},
skin: 'pvx_light',
content_css: "/ui/css/style.css, /ui/css/style_tiny.css",
schema: "html5",
autosave_restore_when_empty: false,
resize : 'both'
}

tinyMCE get editor returns null

I initialize 2 tinyMCE editor on 2 textarea with different id :
var variable_array = {id:'cName', test:'mon test'};
tinymce.init({
selector: "#model_editor",
entity_encoding : "raw",
encoding: "UTF-8",
theme: "modern",
height: "500px",
width: "100%",
variables_list : variable_array,
plugins: [
"advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview hr anchor pagebreak",
"searchreplace wordcount visualblocks visualchars code fullscreen",
"insertdatetime media nonbreaking save table contextmenu directionality",
"emoticons template paste textcolor colorpicker textpattern modelinsert"
],
toolbar1: "insertfile undo redo | styleselect | bold italic | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent | link image print preview media | forecolor backcolor emoticons",
toolbar2: "variable_insert | question_insert",
image_advtab: true,
templates: [
{title: 'Test template 1', content: 'Test 1'},
{title: 'Test template 2', content: 'Test 2'}
]
});
tinymce.init({
selector: "#headerfooter_editor",
entity_encoding : "raw",
encoding: "UTF-8",
theme: "modern",
height: "500px",
width: "100%",
variables_list : variable_array,
plugins: [
"advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview hr anchor pagebreak",
"searchreplace wordcount visualblocks visualchars code fullscreen",
"insertdatetime media nonbreaking save table contextmenu directionality",
"emoticons template paste textcolor colorpicker textpattern modelinsert"
],
toolbar1: "insertfile undo redo | styleselect | bold italic | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent | link image print preview media | forecolor backcolor emoticons",
toolbar2: "variable_insert | question_insert",
image_advtab: true,
init_instance_callback : "mceInitInstance",
templates: [
{title: 'Test template 1', content: 'Test 1'},
{title: 'Test template 2', content: 'Test 2'}
]
});
Both editors init correctly.
Then in order to set different content on each, I try to get the editor instance object id :
var editor_id = tinyMCE.get('#headerfooter_editor');
console.log(editor_id);
It returns null :/
I try also to get in the console the result of the callback of the second init :
function mceInitInstance(inst) {
console.log("Editor: " + inst.editorId + " is now initialized.");
And it returns : Editor: undefined is now initialized.
I want to do the following :
tinyMCE.get('#headerfooter_editor').setContent(data.content);
but of course it returns an error : Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'setContent' of null
I don't understand what's wrong and why I can't get the editor instance id :/

Your editors should be available using tinymce.get('model_editor') and tinymce.get('headerfooter_editor').
Hint: tinymce.editors holds all editor instances that have been initialized.
You can loop through that array to get them all:
for (var i = 0; i < tinymce.editors.length; i++)
{
console.log("Editor id:", tinymce.editors[i].id);
}

Instead of:
tinyMCE.get('#headerfooter_editor').setContent(data.content);
use
tinyMCE.get('headerfooter_editor').setContent(data.content);
remove #

I got the same problem.
The error message was:
TypeError: tinymce.get(...) is null
But my error was that I tried to tinymce.get(...) before initiating tinymce editor.
tinymce.init({selector: "#mytextarea"})

TinyMCE not showing "hr" in toolbar

I'm trying to use TinyMCE as an editor and want to have the ability to add "hr" elements. I've added the plugin as they outline, but I do not see the "hr" button/option in my editor.
Any insight on this problem would be great!
Here's how I an initiating it:
tinymce.init({
selector: "textarea",
plugins: [
"template advlist autolink link image lists charmap print preview",
"advlist autolink link image lists charmap print preview hr anchor pagebreak spellchecker",
"searchreplace wordcount visualblocks visualchars code fullscreen insertdatetime media nonbreaking",
"save table contextmenu directionality emoticons template paste textcolor"
],
browser_spellcheck : true ,
toolbar: "undo redo | styleselect | bold italic | link image | template ",
menubar: false,
resize: "both",
content_css: "/Content/bootstrap.min.css, /Content/Site.css",
template_cdate_classes: "cdate creationdate",
template_mdate_classes: "mdate modifieddate",
template_selected_content_classes: "selcontent",
template_cdate_format: "%m/%d/%Y : %H:%M:%S",
template_mdate_format: "%m/%d/%Y : %H:%M:%S",
file_browser_callback_types: 'file image media',
templates: [
{
title: "Center Column",
url: "/Scripts/tinymce/template/center_column.html",
description: "Adds Editor Name and Staff ID"
},
{
title: "Two Column w/ Image Right",
url: "/Scripts/tinymce/template/two_column_image_right.html",
description: "Adds an editing timestamp."
},
{
title: "Two Column w Image Left",
url: "/Scripts/tinymce/template/two_column_image_left.html",
description: "Adds an editing timestamp."
},
{
title: "Contact Page",
url: "/Scripts/tinymce/template/contact_page.html",
description: "Adds an editing timestamp."
}
]
});

Your toollbar syntax should look something like this :
toolbar: "hr undo redo | styleselect | bold italic | link image | template ",
I inserted the hr button in the beginning of the button stack but you can insert it anywhere you need. Hopefully tinyMCE will write about this on the relevant page.

Well you did not add HorizontalRule to the toolbar options.

how to enable font family and color options in tinymce editor?

I am using a tinymce editor on my cms its having a normal text toolbar where it has bold,italic,underline, and justify option but it dont have the font family change option and not even color change. how to enable that?

i have done this in this way
tinyMCE.init({
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "save,newdocument,|,bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,|,styleselect,formatselect,fontselect,fontsizeselect",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "cut,copy,paste,pastetext,pasteword,|,search,replace,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,blockquote,|,undo,redo,|,link,unlink,anchor,image,cleanup,help,code,|,insertdate,inserttime,preview,|,forecolor,backcolor",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "tablecontrols,|,hr,removeformat,visualaid,|,sub,sup,|,charmap,emotions,iespell,media,advhr,|,print,|,ltr,rtl,|,fullscreen",
)};

for the upgraded version here is the full featured example
tinymce.init({
selector: 'textarea',
height: 500,
theme: 'modern',
plugins: ['advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview hr anchor pagebreak',
'searchreplace wordcount visualblocks visualchars code fullscreen',
'insertdatetime media nonbreaking save table contextmenu directionality',
'emoticons template paste textcolor colorpicker textpattern imagetools'
],
toolbar1: 'insertfile undo redo | styleselect | bold italic | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent | link image',
toolbar2: 'print preview media | forecolor backcolor emoticons',
image_advtab: true,
templates: [
{ title: 'Test template 1', content: 'Test 1' },
{ title: 'Test template 2', content: 'Test 2' }
],
content_css: ['//fast.fonts.net/cssapi/e6dc9b99-64fe-4292-ad98-6974f93cd2a2.css',
'//www.tinymce.com/css/codepen.min.css'
]
});

In my old version of TinyMCE 4.0.10 font and color controls are added like so to tinymce.init in addition to your other init toolbar and plugin options:
toolbar: "styleselect fontselect fontsizeselect | forecolor backcolor",
plugins: "textcolor"
