I may be trying to push SilverStipe way beyond it's intended purpose, but it is too late for me to go back now.

One thing I need to do is have an HTMLEditor on a DataObject I am managing with ModelAdmin. The normal HTMLEditorField has problems that SS don't seem to be in a hurry to fix. So I thought that maybe a workaround would be to use SimpleHTMLEditorField. So in my DataObject getCMSFields I replaced the HTMLEditorField with SimpleHTMLEditorField but while the normal one works some of the time the jwywiswg editor doesn't show up at all.

I have the newest DataObjectManager code installed on SS 2.3.2.

Is it possible that the problem that plagues tinymce in ModelAdmin also is the problem with the jwywiswg editor?

I ran into the same problem for two client sites at the same time... so I really needed a fix for this. I realize that SS is not actively pursuing supporting HTMLEditorFields in ModelAdmin... but it sure would be a nice addition.

In ModelAdmin.js, around line 187 in 2.3.2... you'll see the form vars. Put the following line in before posting the data to save:

$('#right form textarea').each(function(){
	tinyMCE.execCommand('mceRemoveControl', false, $(this).attr('id'));
});

Hope it helps! Let me know how it works out for you.

I ended up adding a few more iterations of the previously mentioned code block in ModelAdmin.js:

* In the function around line 81 before $('ModelAdminPanel').load() is called
* At the start of both the goBack and goForward functions
