WYSIWYG editor on admincp page?

[timcult]

I am a newbie to VBulletin. I'm wondering if it is possible to use the WYSIWYG editor on an admincp page (for a custom field), and if it's possible how it is achieved. I understand functions_editor.php is needed, but I'm not sure how to display the editor and assign it a variable.

Thanks for your help!

I am looking for this same thing as well, sorta of. I am looking for a way to use the WYSIWYG editor on a VBADVANCED page. If anyone knows how, please feel free to splurge the information!

Pretty easy. Not sure about 3.5 or 3.0 but in vB 3.6:

PHP Code:

// #################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

$phrasegroups = array('posting');
$specialtemplates = array('bbcodecache');
$globaltemplates = array(
      // message stuff 3.5
      'editor_toolbar_on',
      'editor_smilie',
      // message area for wysiwyg / non wysiwyg
      'editor_clientscript',
      'editor_toolbar_off',
      // javascript menu builders
      'editor_jsoptions_font',
      'editor_jsoptions_size',
      // smiliebox templates
      'editor_smiliebox',
      'editor_smiliebox_category',
      'editor_smiliebox_row',
      'editor_smiliebox_straggler'
);

// ########################## REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_editor.php');

$style = $db->query_first_slave("
  SELECT *
  FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "style
  WHERE (styleid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['styleid'] . ")
    OR styleid = " . $vbulletin->options['styleid'] . "
  ORDER BY styleid " . iif($vbulletin->userinfo['styleid'] > $vbulletin->options['styleid'], 'DESC', 'ASC') . "
  LIMIT 1
");
define('STYLEID', $style['styleid']);

// now get all the templates we have specified
cache_templates($globaltemplates, $style['templatelist']);
unset($globaltemplates);

// #############################################################################
// get style variables
$stylevar = fetch_stylevars($style, $vbulletin->userinfo);

$editorid = construct_edit_toolbar(
  '',
  0,
  '',
  false,
  false,
  false
); 


Now, you must print $messagearea variable somehow. I think, that the best way is to:

PHP Code:

print_label_row($vbphrase['wysiwyg_editor'], $messagearea); 


You also have to wrap that in <form> </form> with:

PHP Code:

<?php echo (!is_browser('webtv') ? " onsubmit=\"return vB_Editor[$editorid].prepare_submit(0, 0)\"" : ''); ?>

added as a parameter to the <form opening tab (just put that code before closing > of the opening tag).

You'll have some problems with getting right path to .js, .css and .gif files. You can edit these in editor_clientscript and editor_toolbar_on templates but be aware that these files will disappear outside of /admincp/ folder. You've to ways to get that done without a harm:

1) include conditionals like <if condidition="$show[acp_wysiwyg]">../</if>

2) make new set of these templates and new includes/functions_editor.php with replaced template names.

I hope I've helped you somehow. That code isn't the prettiest one but it works. If you wan't more details, help or better code then ask here or via pm.

Hello.

Looks like good stuff, gulldarek. I'm sure I can use this in the future.

Q: What would have to be changed to use the WYSIWYG editor on form fields NOT in a forum but elsewhere on vB?

Thanks in advance.
