While developping ZdMultilang’s new version, I came accross a compatibilty problem with WordPress 2.7.

In fact, to include the tinyMCE editor you won’t use the same functions between 2.6.3 and 2.7 releases. More interesting is WP2.7 will need one more function to be able to display the editor.

Most of the time you will want to include this editor when working with posts, or when you want to enable your plugin users to enter information with the Wysiwyg editor (newsletter, advanced widgets, etc…)

WordPress 2.5.x and 2.6.x

Here is how to include the editor in one of your plugin’s admin panel.

1. Include this code in the admin_head hook

   add_filter('admin_head','zd_multilang_tinymce');
   
   function zd_multilang_tinymce() {
   	wp_admin_css('thickbox');
   	wp_print_scripts('post');
   	wp_print_scripts('editor');
   	add_thickbox();
   	wp_print_scripts('media-upload');
   	wp_print_scripts('jquery');
   	wp_print_scripts('jquery-ui-core');
   	wp_print_scripts('jquery-ui-tabs');
   }

2. Call the editor anywhere you need it to be displayed

   	the_editor($content_to_load);
