Hi,
I have a number of text fields defined in a CCK page, but TinyMCE only displays on the "body" element. How do I get it to display on the rest of them?
Comments
Only on textarea fields
TinyMCE will only appear on textarea (multi-line text) fields that have the "Text processing" parameter set to "Filtered text". It will not appear on Plain text fields.
Still doesnt appear
I am using garland theme and have created a cck content type which has a couple of text fields which are multiline and set to filtered text, but tinymce still does not appear.
If i follow the advice given in the other page mentioned in this post do I have to add the names of the fields to the the theme_tinymce function ?
or am i simply missing something really simple ?

My Not pretty at all fix
I'm new Drupal, Need to get a project done ASAP.
I opened the tinymce.module file and on line 103 (for me anyways)
changed
if ($editor_element==0) {$tinymce_elements = 'edit-body,edit-field-body-0-value';}since edit-field-body-0-value was the new field I created in CCK that I wanted TinyMCE to show up on.
I suppose you could just take out the if/elseif/else and just assign $tinymce_elements to the ones you want.
Of course this is only a very temporary fix. I would fix the module, but I'm new to Drupal, and still learnign the API, all the hooks and how data gets moved around. If this is not fixed later and I have time I'll do a proper fix. Just currently busy.

this impacts the Input Format selector
and thus the ability to select input filters
but no, it doesn't disable TinyMCE on these fields
Already discussed
Similar post here, which should answer your question:

Slightly different
In the times of drupal 4, tinyMCE was showing up on too many pages.
Now, with drupal 5, the settings are a lot less configureable, and the tiny-editor per default activates only on body-fields, which IMHO is a bad idea.
I'd wish for some easy settings to allow tinymce on cck text-fields with multiple lines, comments, ... too.
the tiny-editor per default
so what do you need to do to make it available on other text fields ?

it might be helpful to know
it might be helpful to know that if you leave the body field turned on in a cck content-type
you can print it out using print $node->content['body']['#value'] in your node-content_xxxxx.tpl.php file

Still don't get it...
OK, I went to the post cited above (http://drupal.org/node/72940), played around with the code a bit, and I think I can now turn off tinyMCE in fields where it would otherwise appear. But I (and I think others as well) are having the opposite problem: how to turn on tinyMCE in cck fields.
Has anybody figured this out? One of the posts suggests hacking the tinymce.module. How do I know the name of the cck field so I can enable it? I have a field that I called "schedule", in the mysql database I can see it as "field_schedule_value"; but if I test for this in the tinymce.module it doesn't get used.
Now I got it...
After conferring with "littleprince", I finally got the abovementioned hack working. For anyone else trying to do the same, here's what I just learned.
1) Hack the tinymce.module file as described by "littleprince". You get the name of the field by looking at the html-source that your browser displays (when you go to "add content" -> "your cck content type"). If the field name you entered in cck is "schedule", the name to add in line 103 of tinymce.module is "edit-field-schedule-0-value".
2) Add the field type to your tinyMCE settings. If you called the content type "course", add course to "Enable tinyMCE for these node types:". That type is also displayed in the URL when you add content. In my case, it's somewhere.com/drupal/?q=node/add/course.
3) Be sure the type described in point 2 does not contain any "-" (not sure about other special characters). This seemed to screw things up for me.
