How to use wysiwyg editor in custom forms? Form functions?

[SiMateoAko]

I'm new to VB. My experience is with Drupal, which is good for what it does, but not for what I want accomplished.

I've begun programming a few of my own custom plugins/pages for my vb site. Right now I'm using pure html for my forms because I can't figure out the built in VB functions for forms.

The functions to display the forms will be in an "include" file, so I imagine I need to do some sort of magic in order to use the built in functions. Can anyone give me a basic run down (or point me towards a tutorial) on how to display a simple form using VB functions? If someone can show me how to do one textarea and one text field I could probably figure it out from there.

Also, how do I use the wysiwyg editor on my text areas? How do I "filter" text to display BBcode, smilies, etc. when it is being displayed?

MIght have found some answers, but I'm still hoping someone will help.

Oh yeah...

:banana:

I'm having exactly the same problem... could anyone help us please?
I think this would be a VERY handy plugin or whatever it would be... probably just some small lines of code ^^

(Btw: I've already found out how to parse messages that are already in BBcode. But I also need to create newsposts and comments for my news system and don't like to use another Editor)

Thanks,
Jasper
