Form API: #type textarea and plain-text format?
jeff00seattle - May 12, 2009 - 19:35
Hi
Is there a way to declare a form element of #type textarea
to use only plain-text editor and NOT present fckeditor?
The styling is currently as follows by default when using #type textarea
, because I do have fckeditor module installed:
<textarea class="form-textarea resizable fckeditor fckeditor-processed textarea-processed" id="edit-body" name="body" rows="2" cols="60" style="display: block;"/>
Thanks

Found answer...
Not documented within Form API reference:
http://api.drupal.org/api/file/developer/topics/forms_api_reference.html/6
Set form element with: '#wysiwyg' => false, and this will disable any WYSIWYG editor like FckEditor.
For example:
<?php$form['body'] = array(
'#type' => 'textarea',
'#title' => $title,
'#wysiwyg' => false,
);
?>

form_alter solution
I needed to remove TinyMCE from the comments field. I couldn't get the above solution to work, but I had a custom module set up with a form_alter function.
<?phpfunction my_module_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {
if ($form_id['#id'] == 'comment-form') {
$form_id['comment_filter']['format'] = array();
}
}
?>
I've posted more details and discussion on why I chose this method on my blog.
Better to use #wysiwyg
I tried your method, but then the form got too wide and couldn't fit into my panel. Instead I used this
<?phpfunction alterforms_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
switch ($form_id) {
case 'comment_form':
$form['#wysiwyg'] = false;
break;
}
?>
I tried to this by overriding in template.php but that didn't work.
UPDATE:
This didn't work after all, it was just not loading the editor for some other reason. Is there a way to disable wysiwyg the way I tried, not just clearing the array completely?
