Using the WYSIWYG Editor in another part of my site

[dvdinfoman]

I was not sure if this was the correct spot to put my question but is what I want to do is put the WYSIWYG editor in another section of my site and input the results into a separate table in my database, but I have no idea where to start could someone please tell me if this is even possible and how easy it would be, or not be.

THanks

wow, the irony...I was just looking for this as well. Im pretty new to php and vb, but Ill be sure to fill you in if Im successful. I think we can figure it out by doing some heavy research of newthread.php, newreply.php or profile.php (signature editor).

Well, in doing some Google searching I have found something that does look like it can be tweaked to be extremely similar here: http://kevinroth.com/rte/demo.htm

I've just added the WYSIWYG editor into PhotoPost for use during addition of new photo comments (also used Enhanced mode for quick replies) - it's not overly difficult if you use the vB headers throughout your site - just look at the composition pages and see what javascript calls/configurations are needed.

If you don't use vB3's headers, then you'd have to do a bit of work to duplicate them since the controls use vB3 styles and such.

Either way, the result is that the contents of the edits are stored in a variable ($message, I think) which can be used by your application to save the result.

I know I am going to sound ignorant here but what is "PhotoPost"?

PhotoPost is a community photo gallery that integrates with vB:
