Django Admin: Add TinyMCE to particular TextField only?

Question

Hello, I have set up TinyMCE to work with the Admin panel (as per the instructions in the Django Docs http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AddWYSIWYGEditor )

The problem is that I have Inlines and other text areas within my model for which I don't want TinyMCE to render

Does anyone know how to set TinyMCE to only load for particular fields within my model?

Thanks

EDIT Ok, so I've installed django-tinymce and configured it

I have created the following in the admin.py of the model with the field I want to add tinymce to:

class FooAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Foo

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwards):
        self.bar = forms.TextField(widget=TinyMCE(attrs={'cols': 80, 'rows': 30}))
        super(FooAdminForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Unfortunately this still isn't working

EDIT 2 Right, if anyone is looking to do this (and is as clueless as i am!)

First make sure the tinymce settings are correct (I neglected this!)

TINYMCE_JS_ROOT = '/media/tiny_mce/'
TINYMCE_JS_URL = os.path.join(MEDIA_URL, "tiny_mce/tiny_mce_src.js")
TINYMCE_DEFAULT_CONFIG = {
    'plugins': "table,spellchecker,paste,searchreplace",
    'theme': "advanced",
}
TINYMCE_SPELLCHECKER = True

Then in the admins.py of your model

from django.forms import *
from django.db.models import *
from tinymce.widgets import TinyMCE

class FooAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
    foobar = forms.CharField(widget=TinyMCE(attrs={'cols': 80, 'rows': 10}))

    class Meta:
        model = Foo

class ProductionAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    form = FooAdminForm

I don't know much about forms so maybe someone can comment, but you can't use forms.TextField in the form, it has to be CharField

That wiki page is about five years old (!) and these days there's a much easier way of integrating TinyMCE, by simply using the django-tinymce project.

However, since you've already done it this way, you can achieve what you want with a simple change to the textareas.js script. The method described at your link uses mode: textareas, which as you note converts all textareas automatically. What you want is this:

mode: "exact",
element: "id_mytextarea",

where "id_mytextarea" is the HTML ID of the field you do want to convert - usually the name of the model field prefixed by "id_". See the TinyMCE documentation.
