How do I make textarea a TinyMCE in Joomla?

I have a component and I want to make a textarea on the admin backend interface use the TinyMCE editor:

  1. How do I reference the TinyMCE that is being used by other components (instead of duplicating it) 2.) How do I hook into the page init or some place where I can let TinyMCE do it's magic (of if Joomla provides a way)

Thanks

Solution

  • Looks like all I had to do was get an instance of JEditor and use this to render my textarea:

    <?php echo $this->editor->display('name_of_your_field', 'predefined value', '100%', '400', '80', '15');?>
