Hi Anthony,

I followed your post and tinyMCE shows up well in my plugin for wordpress 2.8. I was earlier using the following statement to save content of my textarea to my DB but now I have no clue how to save tinyMCE’s content to DB…

$settings["template"] = stripslashes($_POST["textareaContent"]);
ajaxNewsletter::saveSettings($settings);

I’ll really appreciate if you may kindly guide me on this…

Thanks a lot,
ak

Derek,

You can have a look at my ZdMultilang plugin, this is where I extracted the code.

Is there a simple plugin that uses this code that anyone can point to so I can see it in action?

You’ll have to do the following :
$content = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $content);
$content = str_replace(‘]]>’, ‘]]>’, $content);
then you can echo your $content

Thanks! the info was really helpful. So my question is what pre-processing needs to be done to insert the data retrieved from the the_editor panel when saving the data (to a database), or displaying it.

In regards to saving the data, I found that I needed to preprocess the data using stripslashes(). To display the data, so far, I have seen that I need to preprocess the data and translate out the shortcodes (saw it, haven’t figured out what the “correct” way to translate it is yet)

Thanks,
James

Your code works, however in the firebug it’s showing error like jQuery is not defined, so I put the printing of the editor after calling enqueue_scripts(“utils”), and it works perfectly now…

Below is my code :

function ShowTinyMCE() {
// conditions here
wp_enqueue_script( ‘common’ );
wp_enqueue_script( ‘jquery-color’ );
if (function_exists(‘add_thickbox’)) add_thickbox();
wp_print_scripts(‘media-upload’);
if (function_exists(‘wp_tiny_mce’)) wp_tiny_mce();
wp_admin_css();
wp_enqueue_script(‘utils’);
wp_print_scripts(‘editor’);
do_action(“admin_print_styles-post-php”);
do_action(‘admin_print_styles’);
}

Thanks for posting this code.

One question — when creating a plugin that you want to have able to run on various WordPress versions, can you use the code shown on this page, or does the plugin need to detect the WordPress version and call the code from your former post if it’s on an old version? If so, do you know how to check the WordPress version (I did some searching and couldn’t find anything).

One other question: in your previous post, most of the code for the two versions was the same except that the order of the function calls was different — is there any significance to that?

Thanks again.

i have a plugin that uses the code you have from above. and i can see the javascript and the stylesheets, however, the form does not display. do i need to put a textbox or an include box on the page with a certain id or name to get it to work? thanks for the help btw.
