For anybody not quite getting the expected results this might help

The hack code

if ( $rows[$i]->type=='wysiwyg' ){
$value=$object->value;
}
is for front end /model/item.php

Whereas the code:

$variables = JRequest::get('post',JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW);

is for the backend admin model/item.php (on mine this is line 492)

Has this been added to the latest k2? It doesn't seem like it has, I have k2 v2.2 and Joomla 1.5.17. I managed to get it working, but the lines to replace are a bit different:

1/ Edit the administrator/components/com_k2/models/extrafield.php file
Line 186 :
Replace :
$output='';
With :
$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 491 :
Replace :
$variables = JRequest::get('post');
with :
$variables = JRequest::get('post',JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW);

Just for someone else finding this (A STICKY PERHAPS?)... the above solution is what I needed.
Essentially I don't care about a WYSIWYG, rather I wanted to be able to use HTML inside a field without it being stripped.
The above solution worked for me, thanks.

Hello !

I'm happy to discover that in the last release (v 2.4.1), now it's possible to have a wysiwyg editor for extrafields.
But ... it remains 1 problem, the HTML is not save.
I keep my solution founded 1 year ago :
In the file "administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php",
replace
$variables = JRequest::get('post', 4); - line 510 -
by
$variables = JRequest::get('post',JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW);

Hi,

 

I am having troubles adding {gallery},{/gallery} code to extra fields in K2 2.4.1 ... it is just outputting the syntax. It works fine on the content tab but not the extra field tab?

 

Anyone know what I can try ... I've tried most of the above, what am I missing?

You just need to take $active[0] instead of $active, these changes work for me:

 

1/ Edit the administrator/components/com_k2/models/extrafield.php fileLine 208:Replace :$output='<textarea name="K2ExtraField_'.$extraField->id.'" id="K2ExtraField_'.$extraField->id.'" rows="10" cols="40" class="k2ExtraFieldEditor">'.$active[0].'</textarea>';By :$editor =& JFactory::getEditor();$output = $editor->display("K2ExtraField_".$extraField->id."", $active[0], '550', '400', '60', '20', false);2/ Edit the administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php fileLine 511:Replace :$variables = JRequest::get('post');By :$variables = JRequest::get('post',JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW);

I've been able to get the editor to show up using FaïWoueb's solution, but unfortunately NOTHING will save. The solo word "Array" appears in the text area and cannot be overwritten. Any idea what could be going on? I'm using k2 2.3.
