How to use

Add the file library

As usual you should create a subclass of WAComponent for an own Seaside web application component. To use the library just register it with your Seaside application.

register
    |app|
    app := WAAdmin register: self asApplicationAt: 'tinymce'.
    app addLibrary: TMCEFileLibrary 

Render the editor component

To render the editor component you just need a textArea tag in your generated HTML code and modify it to be a TinyMCE Editor using a simple JavaScript. Here is an example Seaside rendering method:

renderContentOn: html

    html heading: 'TinyMCE Demo'.
    html form: [ 
        html textArea 
            callback: [ :value | text := value];
            with: text.
        html break.	
        html submitButton: 'Send to server and display' ].
        html break; horizontalRule.	
        html html: text.

        "Add the script to run TinyMCE"	
        html script: ' tinymce.init({selector:''textarea''});'
