Using Joomla Editor in Custom Component !

[alex_funky_dj]

I'm creating a forms simple component , how can I enable Joomla editor for a text area, and how can I customize the buttons ??

Thanks for your attention !

I don't know how to customize the buttons, but you could analyse \components\com_content\content.html.php to see how Joomla uses the editor. Look for:
introtext , 'introtext', '600', '400', '70', '15' ) ;
?>

Hey, I want to know how this works as well, I'm trying to implement an editor in a component, but I run into trouble when trying to save the content of it. It simply won't save the HTML for it. I've been checking other components and it seems that the following functions are quite common in those:

• mosMakeHTMLSafe()
• getEditorContents()

But I really don't know how to make any of it work... Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I think you can try like this:

<?php $editor = & JFactory::getEditor() ; ?>
<?php echo $editor->display( 'short_description', $this->item->short_description , '100%', '180', '90', '6' ) ; ?>
