I have migrated from angular 1.0.8 to angular 1.2.2 yesterday, and beside a bunch of other things that got broken and I\'ve already fixed, the $render function on the follow

Answer 1

I've tested this with angular 1.2.10 for a textbox and whatever priority I set, original input $render method was set afterwards overriding my $render function.

This problem occurs in angular-ui tinymce module as well which can not render the initial model value. So I changed the timeout part in tinymce directive to override the original $render method as follows:

var render = function() { // my rendering code }    
setTimeout(function () {
                      tinymce.init(options);
                      if (ngModel.$render != render) {
                          var originalRender = ngModel.$render;
                          ngModel.$render = function() {
                              originalRender();
                              render();
                          };
                  }
              });

This way, after all "link" functions are executed, you can override the render method.
