LG TinyMCE 2 - custom FieldFrame fieldtype for ExpressionEngine 1.6

LG TinyMCE 2 creates a new FieldFrame fieldtype that replaces the default ExpressionEngine textarea field with a TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor. Version 2.0 introduces customisable toolbar configurations and SAEF / Fieldframe support.

Requirements

Note this version is not compatible with LG TinyMCE version 1

LG TinyMCE 2 is a FieldFrame fieldtype and therefore requires:

• PHP5 or later
• ExpressionEngine 1.6 (EE2 support under development)
• FieldFrame 1.3.5
• TinyMCE 1.3 or later (Bundled in the download but can be updated independently)

Installation & Configuration

Installing LG TinyMCE is easy just follow the steps below:

• Download & install FieldFrame
• Download LG TinyMCE 2
• Copy /system/extensions/fieldtypes/lg_tiny_mce to system/extensions/fieldtypes/
• Copy /system/language/english/lang.lg_tiny_mce.php to /system/language/english/
• Enable LG TinyMCE in the fieldtypes Manager

Creating custom toolbar / editor instance configurations

LG TinyMCE 2 allows developers to create custom TinyMCE configurations that are assigned to one or more editor instances (custom fields). This allows you to:

• Create custom toolbars
• Load specific TinyMCE plugins
• Modify output before it's saved
• and much much more...

Custom configurations are saved in /system/extensions/fieldtypes/lg_tiny_mce/tiny_mce_config/. Config files are javascript files containing a TinyMCE init function. Two sample configurations are provided: "Basic" & "Advanced".

// Basic configuration for TinyMCE listing all the options
tinyMCE.init({
	button_tile_map : true,
	editor_selector : 'lg_tinymce_basic',
	mode:'textareas',
	theme : 'advanced',
	height : 150,
	width : "99%",
});

If you create your own TinyMCE configs make sure you include the following attribute:

editor_selector : 'lg_tinymce_xxx'

xxx represents the file name without the .js extension. ie:

// basic.js TinyMCE configuration file
editor_selector : 'lg_tinymce_basic'

// advanced.js TinyMCE configuration file
editor_selector : 'lg_tinymce_advanced'
