Do I need to reference the script from the page somehow as well? I can get it to work by adding this code:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;script src=&quot;url-to-my-js-file&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;bkLib.onDomLoaded(nicEditors.allTextareas);&lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p>to the page above the shortcode for the gravity form, but the issue that I'm seeing there is that if I reference it from the page and not via the functions.php file, if the user doesn't fill in a required field, when GF returns the page the editor options are gone (and the textareas are sometimes messed up). </p> <p>Any help on this would be appreciated. On a related note, people looking to clean up Word docs pasted into these fields can tweak the nicedit code with help from <a href="http://www.billyswebdesign.com/blog/2009/a-customized-web-based-wysiwyg-that-can-clean-a-paste-from-ms-word/" rel="nofollow">this site</a>. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tiny-mce-or-text-editor-for-paragraph-text#post-47083 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 15:55:20 +0000 Chineseand 47083@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I tried David's add-on for the functions.php file. I also added the bit of code provided at nicedit.com:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;script src=&quot;http://js.nicedit.com/nicEdit-latest.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;bkLib.onDomLoaded(nicEditors.allTextAreas);&lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p>to the top of the "edit page" screen in the wordpress backend just before the shortcode call to the gravity form form.</p> <p>The form won't recognize when text has been added to the field. </p> <p>Any thoughts on what might be going on there? I've tried with Ajax enabled, and with it disabled.</p> <p>I'm hoping to use the pagination of the form to reduce confusion when content is copied and pasted in from Word or another editor (as it is returned in html when the page returns invalidated by entry errors).</p> <p>Strange note: once in a while, I get an editor on the post body field, and not on the excerpt field (different pages). I've done hard refreshes, and I don't have a caching plugin enabled (buddypress site). </p> <p>@mendie did you find out what was happening?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tiny-mce-or-text-editor-for-paragraph-text#post-32194 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 11:23:22 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 32194@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@nitzs,</p> <p>No. There isn't any TINYMCE-specific documentation here. It's not something that's a built into the plugin (yet) so not something we're supporting or documenting here. You can check the documentation on their site for instructions on how to implement this. The paragraph fields are standard textareas so you should be able to apply the editor to those elements relatively easily.</p> <p><a href="http://www.tinymce.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tinymce.com/</a></p> <p>There are a multitude of plugins in the repository that might make it easier for you to implement TINYMCE on the front end if you prefer to go that route. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tiny-mce-or-text-editor-for-paragraph-text#post-32192 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 11:13:02 +0000 Nitin 32192@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Even I've been waiting for this feature since long.

You can bind any function that needs to be run when the a new GF ajax page is loaded to the <strong>gform_page_loaded</strong> event.</p> <p>The only piece you'll want to update is...</p> <p><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_pre_render_3&quot;, &quot;initialize_nicedit&quot;);</code></p> <p>The <strong>3</strong> should be replaced with the ID of your form. </p>
