Override TinyMCE visibility for specific CCK type

Posted by awasson on June 24, 2007 at 1:53am

I'm not sure if there is a way to do this but I would like to override or disable TinyMCE when a particular type of content is being edited and for the TinyMCE configuration screen too. Everything else can have TinyMCE present.

The type of content is called video_clip which contains JavaScript that tinyMCE will mess up. I have tried the following without success:
[code]

<?php
  if ($node->type == 'video_clip')
    return false;
  else
    return true;
?>

[/code]

in page.tpl.php "if ($node->type == 'video_clip')" will return true for this particular node type however it does not seem to work within the TinyMCE configuration scope.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Andrew

Load node first

As far as I see, the same rules as for block-visibility apply. So I modified a code-snipped from http://drupal.org/node/64135 - to display TinyMCE also when adding new pages. Difference to awasson's solution: node has to be loaded first.

<?php
$match = FALSE;
$types = array('story' => 1, 'page' => 1);
if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
  $nid = arg(1);
  $node = node_load(array('nid' => $nid));
  $type = $node->type;
  if (isset($types[$type])) {
    $match = TRUE;
  }
}
else if (arg(0) == 'node' && 
  arg(1) == 'add' && 
  isset($types[arg(2)])) {
    $match = TRUE;
}
return $match;
?>

Thank you for this code. If

Thank you for this code.

If anyone else is using nodecomments, you'll need to add && arg(2) == 'edit' to line #4's if statement if you want to avoid TinyMCEing the included comments form.
