I have a form on the front end of my site that contains some HTMLEditorFields. In order to get these to work I had to add the following to my template;

<link rel="stylesheet" href="framework/thirdparty/tinymce/themes/advanced/skins/default/ui.css">
      <script type="text/javascript" src="framework/thirdparty/tinymce/tiny_mce_gzip.php?m=1378998164&amp;js=1&amp;plugins=contextmenu,table,emotions,paste,spellchecker,media,fullscreen,inlinepopups&amp;themes=advanced&amp;languages=en&amp;diskcache=true&amp;src=false"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="framework/javascript/HtmlEditorField.js?m=1378998161"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript">		
		tinyMCE.init({ 
		theme : "advanced", 
		mode: "textareas", 
		theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top", 
		theme_advanced_buttons1 : "formatselect,|,bold,italic,underline,separator,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,separator,outdent,indent,separator,undo,redo",
		theme_advanced_buttons2 : "", 
		theme_advanced_buttons3 : "", 
		height:"250px", 
		width:"552px" 
		});
	</script>

This has allowed the text editor to show up, but when the form is submitted the two textarea fields data does not get sent. If I remove the wysiwyg editor and have plain textareas the data is passed no problem.

Does anyone know if there is something else I need to include to make it function properly? Or if there is a better way to get a HTMLEditorField to work on a front end form?

Am I doing something wrong in this forum? No one ever replies to anything I post.

try

<?php
///
class FrontendHtmlEditorField extends HtmlEditorField {

public function __construct($name, $title = null, $value = '') {
parent::__construct($name, $title, $value);
self::include_js();
}

public static function include_js() {
parent::include_js();
Requirements::customScript("ssTinyMceConfig.editor_selector='frontendhtmleditor';tinyMCE.init(ssTinyMceConfig);");
}
}

and replace with below code in Form.
$contentfield = new FrontendHtmlEditorField('Content', _t("ContentEntry.CN",'Content'));

hope it works.

Thank you for your response, unfortunately it has not worked.

The text editor still shows nicely, but the data does not pass on when submitted.

I have just made my submit function print out what is in the $data array and the FrontendHtmlEditorField still shows as being empty, but if I make it just a textarea field then it passes the data no problem.

Do you mind sharing the url, you can email me.

It is http://ozzy.perthwebdev.com.au/create-an-account/create-a-post and if you select the 'Investors page listing'.

I have left it with just displaying the $data array after it is submitted.

Thank you for your help.

Hello Vix

It looks like the visibility of the htmleditor textarea is hidden.

visibility:hidden;

I have to look at the code, to see what is wrong. you can skype me thomas.paulson28

Hi there,

any progress on this? I searched everywhere but cannot find a post that fully describes how i can add a htmleditor field in the frontend...
I'm using SS3.1

As far as i understand the simpleHtmleditorfield from dataobjectmanager is no longer working in ss3 ?
