I want to implement TinyMCE in my Wordpress plugin. HOW??

Question

Basically need the default Wordpress TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor where the user will enter some formatted text in my plugin. How do I integrate/implement TinyMCE in a simple HTML Wordpress form??

I'm using Wordpress v2.9!

Answer 1

The function you are looking for is wp_tiny_mce

Here is how to include the editor in one of your plugin’s admin panel.

1. Include this code in the admin_head hook

   add_filter('admin_head','zd_multilang_tinymce');

   function zd_multilang_tinymce() { wp_admin_css('thickbox'); wp_print_scripts('jquery-ui-core'); wp_print_scripts('jquery-ui-tabs'); wp_print_scripts('post'); wp_print_scripts('editor'); add_thickbox(); wp_print_scripts('media-upload'); if (function_exists('wp_tiny_mce')) wp_tiny_mce(); // use the if condition because this function doesn't exist in version prior to 2.7 }

2. Call the editor anywhere you need it to be displayed

   the_editor($content_to_load);
