Hi, in a module i have a form in the admin side. what is the best way to add Tiny_MCE to some text boxes.

[Michael]

Here is the example from the blog editor:
/modules/jrBlog/index.php

Code

// Blog Text     $_tmp = array(         'name'     => 'blog_text',         'label'    => 7,         'help'     => 8,         'type'     => 'editor',         'theme'    => 'advanced',         'validate' => 'allowed_html',         'required' => true     );     jrCore_form_field_create($_tmp);

'type' = 'editor' is the part that puts the editor in the box.

Documentation should be up soon.

Hey thanks for that now another thing when i try and embed video

[jrEmbed module="jrVideo" id="417"]

The Tinymce is reading it how it is and not running [jrEmbed module="jrVideo" id="417"]

You know what i mean?

So the text shows : [jrEmbed module="jrVideo" id="417"]

[Michael]

your best source of info right now is looking at how other modules do it.

Try looking inside the jrBlog module's item_details.tpl page as you know that has an example of what your trying to do that works.

When it outputs the variable that displays the blog post it looks like this:

Code

{$item.blog_text|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id|jrEmbed_embed}

What does your template variable look like?

When you embed soemthing from the Tinymce, inser a video such as [jrEmbed module="jrVideo" id="417"]

How does the tpl read it? it's like the system is not picking up that it is a video. its isnerting in the page as plan text.

Hope you got me

The text in a textarea is not processed as a template (I believe) - that text is injected after the template is compiled to my knowledge.

Kyle is correct - the actual contents of a text area id not treated as a template.

Hi Guys, thanks for that.

Now how can i resolve this?

Basically i Have a custom Module and the actual module has inside a form which i create to be viewed on the front end. I managed to get tinymce. Is there any specifically i should do for the text box that i put the data in the include.php?

[Brian]

What does your templates/item_embed.tpl look like?

Don't have one

[Brian]

Yes - if you want your item to be embeddable, you need an item_embed.tpl file. Checkout the audio or video module for examples.

in the include

I copied the Jrvideo Embed code.

/**
* for the jrEmbed module to replace the tag [jrEmbed module="jrVideo" id="30"] with the actual player.


My embed tpl looks like this item :

<div style="display: inline-block;">
{jrCore_media_player module="jrVideo" field="video_file" item=$item}
</div>

[Michael]

if you have a variable {$item.blog_text} that outputs as

Quote:

this is some blog text and here is a video [jrEmbed module="jrVideo" id="30"] did you like my video

then the jrEmbed module is not firing to replace what its supposed to replace.

so change {$item.blog_text} to {$item.blog_text|jrEmbed_embed} and the jrEmbed module will know to look for the tags and replace them.
