Disabling tinymce for trackbacks text area

function tinymce_textarea($op, $textarea_name) {
 
    //###################################################
    //break = we edit it, return = we don't
    switch ($textarea_name) {
    case 'body':
      break;
    case 'caption':   //on images
      return;
    case 'components':
      return;
    case 'ec_order_overview':
      return;
    case 'help':   //on project_project
      break;
    case 'log':
      return;
    case strpos($textarea_name,'nodewords')==0:
      return;
    case 'pages':
      return;
    case strpos($textarea_name,'payment')==0:
      return;
    case strpos($textarea_name,'shipping')==0:
      return;
    case 'signature':
      break;
    case strpos($textarea_name,'theme_setting')==0:
      return;
    default:
    //we log any new types so they may be added to the code
      watchdog( 'tinyMCE', t('unknown textarea name: ').$textarea_name , WATCHDOG_NOTICE);
      return; 
    }

...etc ...

I missed these posts when i wrote previous reply, and back when i wrote the above hack i didn't understand theming :-)

the whole point of the theme_... functions is so you don't hack tinymce.module.

So don't change theme_tinymce_theme at all.

Say you are using a them called fred. In YOUR fred.theme module, you put a function fred_tinymce_theme and THAT function will automatically replace theme_tinymce_theme. So you put your textarea override code in function fred_tinymce_theme in fred.theme, not in theme_tinymce_theme in tinymce.module.

The upside is that there are no changes in the base tinymce.module, just in fred.theme that you change anyway. the drawback of the theme-based approach is that you have to set it for each theme and if you add a new theme you may forget. in some ways I prefer the hack in the base module.

tried to hide tinyMCE from trackback-field in drupal 5.2 - and it seems to need a '-' instead of '_' as a separator..

    case 'trackback-urls': // hide from trackback-field

instead of

    case 'trackback_urls': // hide from trackback-field

..dont know about the other fields yet, the trackback-field was the one I wanted to disable first..

greetz, t..

frorget it i got it thanks

hi, i try to solve the tinymce problem for my website. i have cck field name "field_description".
based on your example, i create this

case 'field-cck-field-description-0-value':

then i paste it in my template.php along with the snippet above

function phptemplate_tinymce_theme($init, $textarea_name, $theme_name, $is_running) {
  switch ($textarea_name) {
    // Disable tinymce for these textareas
       case 'field-cck-field-description-0-value':  //cck field name field_description

      unset($init);
      break;
  }
  // Always return $init
  return $init;
}

the tinymce still on for that text area. please advise if i have make any mistake

thanks

Sorry I appear to have switched my brain off momentarily there. For those interested...

function phptemplate_tinymce_theme($init, $textarea_name, $theme_name, $is_running) {
  switch ($textarea_name) {
    // Enable tinymce for these textareas
    case 'body':
      break;
    // Disable tinymce for all other textareas
    default:
      unset($init);
  }
  // Always return $init
  return $init;
}

Hey! Thanks for the code, although I do not quite understand how !in_array() works and why it was a little different from http://drupal.org/node/134425

But just so anyone wants to accomplish what you did, there is no need to add that code in a template file. Just enter it into the Visibilty field of a TinyMCE profile and set it to "Show if the following PHP code returns TRUE (PHP-mode, experts only)." Then enter the following code:

<?php
	$allowed = array('page', 'blog');
	
	//check for node-edit
	if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
		$node = node_load(array('nid' => arg(1)));
		if (!in_array($node->type,$allowed)) {
			return false;
		} else return true;
	}
	
	//check for node-add
	if(arg(0) == 'node' && arg(1) == 'add') {
		if(!in_array(arg(2),$allowed)) {
			return false;
		} else return true;
	}
?>

I don't know why this happens but when I request a page for webform module i.e. node/add/webform or node/nid/edit (when that node is a webform) I get a white screen with "disable rich-text" twice.

My fix was to use theme_tinymce_theme and add in some logic of my own:

  // Disable TinyMCE for webform nodes.
  $nids = array(60, 53, 58, 63); // webform nids
  if (in_array(arg(1), $nids)) {
    unset($init);
  }

I used these settings in TinyMCE visibility (show on only these pages):

node/add/content-type
node/add/page
node/*/edit

Replace node/add/content-type with a list of your own custom content types. The reason I use these visibility settings is because node/add/webform caused the white screen.
