Rich Text Editor in Multiple Metaboxes? WordPress

Scott Clark comments:

@paul de wouters answer towards Kyle:

You should check that plugin out and see if you can use the TinyMCE code it's using in your own stuff. It may be using a similar solution to the one I've come up with for the TinyMCE for Pods.

Kyle Jones comments:

Thanks, Scott.
I'll see what I can gather from your work and the Custom Field Template.

Good luck with Pods!

Scott Clark comments:

BTW, I'm saying "impossible" as in, "impossible". I've spent countless hours with all the built-in functions and it's an issue with the custom JS integration WP is using, it's not coded with multiple editors in mind (html / visual box is bugged as well as the media bar)

Kyle Jones comments:

Yea, I remember reading one of your posts in the support forums to that effect (interestingly, that topic was closed for some reason...). Actually, it was one of the biggest reasons I posted here - I wanted to see if we couldn't pull more people out of the woodwork to take a look at this.

Sometimes I wonder why "they" make it so difficult to add additional CMS components into WP?

Alas...

Scott Clark comments:

I'm hoping to make my code eventually as a patch on that ticket

How much more loot do I need to entice you with :)

Hi Kyle,
here it is,
i created a plugin, but its pretty much a class,
install it, activate it (read the usage instructions).
there are two versions, one that includes the visual/HTML buttons, and one that doesnt

I still need to work on some jquery code to set the same with and height for the html textarea as for the visual one.

here version 0.1 http://wordpress.pastebin.com/TwhbHeyh
here's version 0.1.1 (With the visual/html buttons) http://wordpress.pastebin.com/TY3wYfn0

i created this class specially for you as i had it inserted in the code of another proyect.

how much more?
it's up to your generosity.

let me know if it work, or it doesnt.

NOTE: your custom fields need to have set the ID and be textareas i guess

wjm comments:

the above code works when name and id of the textarea are the same.

Kyle Jones comments:

i haven't had anytime to check out your answer but I will here in a bit.
thanks,

@wjm

So your plugin is installed and activated and I'm using this as a metabox:
function ct_mb_editor2(){
global $post;
$custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);
$ct_mb_editor2 = $custom["ct_mb_editor2"][0];
//Load the rich text editor into the metabox
if ( class_exists( 'WjmTinymce' ) ) {
$richmetaboxes = new WjmTinymce();
$richmetaboxes->fields = array( 'ct_mb_editor2' );
$richmetaboxes->toggle_html_visual = true; // false if you dont want to show the HTML/VISUAL buttons
}
?>
<textarea name="ct_mb_editor2" id="ct_mb_editor2"></textarea>
<?php
}

The metabox is there and so is the textarea but no rich text editor. Ideas?

wjm comments:

can you upload to pastebin the output of your admin page.

wjm comments:

and place the WjmTinyMCE in your functions.php but outside any function.
that maybe the reason why its not working (the class is being called too late)

wjm comments:

that is:

function ct_mb_editor2(){
global $post;
$custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);
$ct_mb_editor2 = $custom["ct_mb_editor2"][0];
?>
<textarea name="ct_mb_editor2" id="ct_mb_editor2"></textarea>
<?php
}

//Load the rich text editor into the metabox
if ( class_exists( 'WjmTinymce' ) ) {
$richmetaboxes = new WjmTinymce();
$richmetaboxes->fields = array( 'ct_mb_editor2' );
$richmetaboxes->toggle_html_visual = true; // false if you dont want to show the HTML/VISUAL buttons
}

Hey-

Here's the plugin I'm using to add the metabox. It's used in conjunction with your plugin enabled. Still, I just get a textarea.

Here's the output of the admin:

I'd love to get this to work. If you're willing to continue to work with me and help me understand I'll <em>definitely</em> up the reward here or just pay you directly.

Many thanks!
~Kyle~

Kyle Jones comments:

wjm-
well, I got it to work. it's a little rough around the edges with these noticeable issues:
1- It doesn't look like a regular metabox
2- It can't be relocated like a regular metabox unless in html mode

but, it is a working option so I'll award your the cash.

thanks for your assistance,
~kyle~
