BuddyPress.org

Here is my code:

function bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor() {
wp_editor(
	isset( $_GET['r'] ) ? '@' . esc_attr( $_GET['r'] ) : '',
	'whats-new',
	array(
		'textarea_name' => 'whats-new',
		'editor_class'  => 'whats-new-mce',
		'editor_height' => 200,
		'media_buttons' => false, 
		'quicktags' => false,
		'tinymce' => array(
			'toolbar1' => 'bold,italic,underline,|,blockquote,|,bullist,numlist,|,link,unlink,|,spellchecker,|,undo,redo',
			'toolbar2' => ''
		)
	)
);
}
add_action( 'whats_new_textarea', 'bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor' );

<div id="whats-new-textarea">		
   <?php do_action( 'whats_new_textarea' ); ?>				
</div>

I found a solution that can help

Thanks so much for your response. I reread that post (which is what I based my code on) and I do realize I made some changes. For example removing:

// deactivation of the visual tab, so user can't play with template styles
add_filter ( 'user_can_richedit' , create_function ( '$a' , 'return false;' ) , 50 );

and using:

'tinymce'=> array(
                 'toolbar1'=> 'bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,forecolor',
                 'toolbar2' => 'bullist,numlist,link,unlink,undo,redo'
                       )

instead of

'quicktags' => array(
		'buttons' => 'strong,em,link,block,del,ins,img,ul,ol,li,code,close')

Without those changes I can’t get the rich text editor that I require. Did you mean by “It’s explained here” that making the visual editor work in this context is not possible?

Thanks for the reply.
That’s a pity.
The community or bp menu i think should be available on the entire network and not only on mainsite. Otherwise a blog user will need to go back on the mainsite to use the community tool.
When you say the toolbar do you mean the dashboard (backend)?
If so that’s also a pity because users don’t like to go to the backend. Instead it would be better to have the full bp menu on Frontend.

Hi danbp,
Thank you very much for your prompt response. I’ve done all that you wrote me but new tab called Sites do not appear in Toolbar user menu. Maybe I need something to do in BuddyPress settings too?

@oliver_rub, our current solution involves deregistering the BuddyPress mentions script and enqueuing our own slightly modified version with a more generic jQuery selector. I think @slaffik has found the best solution though, I’m going to try it.

@benworxnl, no we had a slightly different scenario. We transformed the “What’s New” textarea into a WYSIWYG editor and the visual tab worked on that straight away. The issue we had was getting the mentions to work on that visual editor.

Anyway, we duplicated and edited the activity/post-form.php template and replaced the textarea with wp_editor;

wp_editor(
	isset( $_GET['r'] ) ? '@' . esc_attr( $_GET['r'] ) : '',
	'whats-new',
	array(
		'textarea_name' => 'whats-new',
		'editor_class'  => 'whats-new-mce',
		'editor_height' => 200,
		'tinymce' => array(
			'toolbar1' => 'bold,italic,underline,|,blockquote,|,bullist,numlist,|,link,unlink,|,spellchecker,|,undo,redo',
			'toolbar2' => ''
		)
	)
);

For activity replies, you could do something similar to this in activity/entry.php;

wp_editor(
	isset( $_GET['r'] ) ? '@' . esc_attr( $_GET['r'] ) : '',
	'ac-input-' . bp_activity_id(),
	array(
		'textarea_name' => 'ac_input_' . bp_activity_id(),
		'editor_class'  => 'ac-input',
		'editor_height' => 200,
		'tinymce' => array(
			'toolbar1' => 'bold,italic,underline,|,blockquote,|,bullist,numlist,|,link,unlink,|,spellchecker,|,undo,redo',
			'toolbar2' => ''
		)
	)
);

Please note, I’ve not tested the above.
