I am trying to set the readonly parameter in tinyMCE to true after tinyMCE has been initalized. I am trying to use this with wordpress to disable the postEditor if the post has already been published. I found some sources claiming that you can call:
tinyMCE.activeEditor.execCommand(
'mceSetAttribute',
false,
{name:'readonly',value:true}
);
but I have been having no luck with that and have not found a solution.

Reset to default 17An easier way to set this is tinyMCE.activeEditor.settings.readonly = true;
But the problem here is that the readonly setting affects the way tinymce gets initialized.
So setting it after tinymce is initialized won't have a big impact.
What you can do to prevent users from editing content in your editor is to set the contenteditable attribute of the editors iframe body to false:
tinymce.activeEditor.getBody().setAttribute('contenteditable', false);
