I found a very helpful blog post which shows exactly how to accomplish what I am after with only three small changes to the user-edit.php page. First Change I had to add a class name to the <textarea> tag for the description. <textarea name=”description” id=”description” rows=”5″ cols=”30″ class=”CLASS_NAME_HERE”><?php echo esc_html($profileuser->description); ?> </textarea><br /> Second Change … Read more
Adding scripts after TinyMCE: You might check out the before_wp_tiny_mce and after_wp_tiny_mcehooks. If you take a look at the file /wp-includes/class-wp-editor.php you can see that the TinyMCE settings scripts are not all loaded through the usual enqueue methods, but some are displayed via: add_action( ‘admin_print_footer_scripts’, array( __CLASS__, ‘editor_js’), 50 ); where the editor_js method contains … Read more
Add this to your plugin file: (you can also add it on the theme’s functions file) function ajax_wp_editor() { ?> your html form here <?php } //for all users add_action(‘wp_ajax_nopriv_ajax_wp_editor’, ‘ajax_wp_editor’); // for logged in users add_action(‘wp_ajax_ajax_wp_editor’, ‘ajax_wp_editor’); Request Ajax using this URL: [BLOG_ADDRESS]/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=ajax_wp_editor
wp_more – insert more button, spellchecker – spellchecker button I’ve tried it with your code on WP 3.5.1 and it worked fine for me.
Ok apparently WordPress keeps track of what kind of editor (visual or html) is active as a class which is added to the content wrapper so here is a solution that will get you the latest content in the editor function get_tinymce_content(){ if (jQuery(“#wp-content-wrap”).hasClass(“tmce-active”)){ return tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent(); }else{ return jQuery(‘#html_text_area_id’).val(); } }
Regardless of what you have configured as valid children, WordPress handles p tags as well as line breaks in a very unique way. You’ll probably notice eventually, if you haven’t already, that when switching from the text editor to the visual editor and back that your <p> tags get stripped, similar to what occurs on … Read more
If you look in class-wp-editor.php you’ll find that the filter you are using is still there, however the settings are different. self::$first_init = array( ‘theme’ => ‘modern’, ‘skin’ => ‘lightgray’, ‘language’ => self::$mce_locale, ‘formats’ => “{ alignleft: [ {selector: ‘p,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,td,th,div,ul,ol,li’, styles: {textAlign:’left’}}, {selector: ‘img,table,dl.wp-caption’, classes: ‘alignleft’} ], aligncenter: [ {selector: ‘p,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,td,th,div,ul,ol,li’, styles: {textAlign:’center’}}, {selector: ‘img,table,dl.wp-caption’, … Read more
Here is a nice and a fairly new (a year old) tutorial that i’ve read a few days ago: http://solislab.com/blog/how-to-make-shortcodes-user-friendly/ He has a great example and you can also download the source files and get a better understanding.
All I use is remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’ ); remove_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘wpautop’ ); and that stops WordPress from creating any extra markup. Are you copying and pasting your code from an external editor?
[*] I couldn’t find the extended_valid_elements option in the settings panel for TinyMCE advanced, but adding the following to my functions.php solved it: function override_mce_options($initArray) { $opts=”*[*]”; $initArray[‘valid_elements’] = $opts; $initArray[‘extended_valid_elements’] = $opts; return $initArray; } add_filter(‘tiny_mce_before_init’, ‘override_mce_options’); Source [*]
