TinyMCE in WordPress Plugins
I’ve been to the edge of the internet and back, before I found this tidbit of code that will allow you to use TinyMCE in your WordPress plugins!
1. Add the following code to your plugin
add_filter('admin_head','myplugin_tinymce'); function myplugin_tinymce() { wp_admin_css('thickbox'); wp_print_scripts('jquery-ui-core'); wp_print_scripts('jquery-ui-tabs'); wp_print_scripts('post'); wp_print_scripts('editor'); add_thickbox(); wp_print_scripts('media-upload'); if (function_exists('wp_tiny_mce')) { wp_tiny_mce(); } }
2. Call the editor in your plugin
the_editor($content_to_load);
