This is **Very** exciting - i've added a new text area into my group, however no wysiwyg editor yet - should I delete the other text areas? are multiple text areas possible (ie have you tested this with multiple wysiwyg text areas

ok - just tested that, still no go... i'm using the JCE editor + latest versions of everything.... any thoughts? this is going to make a huge step forward for K2 (and it's already runnin' up there..)

I'll just chime in and say the it would be really nice to even have linebreaks in text area. wysiwyg would be preferred.

Well done.. has anybody even seen this?
Thank you FaïWoueb, this works!!!! yo urock. thank you to K2!

1/ Edit the administrator/components/com_k2/models/extrafield.php file
Line 164 :
Replace :
$output='';
By :
$editor =& JFactory::getEditor();
$output = $editor->display("K2ExtraField_".$extraField->id."", $active, '550', '400', '60', '20', false);

2/ Edit the administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php file
Line 462 :
Replace :
$variables = JRequest::get('post');
By :
$variables = JRequest::get('post',JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW);

... and that's all folks.

I'm trying to do this - what steps am I missing? Am still not getting the editor window in there... using firefox latest k2 + joomla...

any thoughts greatly appreciated

I changed just as instructed. It works with JCE, have not tried Tiny yet.
what files did you change?

I'm working with the JCE also - I've attached the files i'm messing with including what I believe to be the correct edits... perhaps you could post yours and let me see test them?

I think I found your problem.
in extrafield.php
Comment out line 167, which is the second $output.

well that was certainly an error - however it hasn't solved it- I'm getting a larger text area now though.... as if the dimensions are being correctly pulled however the wyswyg editor isn't there (JCE 154)

Greatly appreciate your help here - this is a big step for K2

Try my files.

tested this by creating a new extra group, a new text area, a new category and a new item..... both firefox linux and firefox windows... I am surprised that the text area is the correct size and not yielding the toolbar across the top
