How do I deactivate Bootstrap-wysihtml5 jquery editor instance?


I'm using the Bootstrap-wysihtml5 jquery plugin (https://github.com/jhollingworth/bootstrap-wysihtml5/) to convert textareas to WYSIWYG. I would like to be able to activate and deactivate the editor by clicking on 2 buttons, so far i can show the editor, please will you let me know how i can deactivate the editor and leave just the textarea and its value. My code is as follows:-

HTML

<textarea name="textarea" id="textarea" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea>

<input type="button" id="button1" value="Show Editor"> 
<input type="button" id="button2" value="Hide Editor">

Script

$("#button1").click(function(){
$('textarea').wysihtml5();
});

$("#button2").click(function(){
// this is where i'm stuck
});

Thank you


Solution

  • I had the same problem trying to disable/hide the toolbar and editor and had luck with the following commands (to disable the editor). I'm using version wysihtml5-0.3.0_rc2.js)

    $('#editorId').data('wysihtml5').editor.composer.disable();
    $('#editorId').data('wysihtml5').editor.composer.enable();
    

    or (to hide the editor)

    $('#editorId').data('wysihtml5').editor.composer.hide();
    $('#editorId').data('wysihtml5').editor.composer.show();
    

    To do the same to the toolbar you do the following to hide/show (can't find a wat to disable the toolbar):

    $('#editorId').data('wysihtml5').editor.toolbar.hide();
    $('#editorId').data('wysihtml5').editor.toolbar.show();
