Adding a text editor to admin

savelam

Please am working on a project and I need to add a text editor to the admin panel so that the administrator can use it to edit the texts before posting them to the site just like the text editor I use to write this post.
Can someone please help me.

thanks very much for the help so far.
But how do I adjust the width of my textarea to my convenience ?
Please help me

cretaceous

same as any textarea : cols='99'
tinymce has an extensive wiki

savelam

did that but doesn't give me the width. it remains the same

cretaceous

if you want it narrower bear in mind that the icons will force it to total icon width
-is that the problem?

savelam

thanks very much.
Will find a way of doing it .
I really appreciate your help and support

Please am working on a project and I have some data to display to the users. the data displays alright but it will make the page long. Meanwhile i don't want to paginate it . I want to make that portion of the page to scroll so that the user can scroll down to see the rest of the data.
Does anybody know of any library that can help ?
I need help.

you can make a div scrollable using css - add this:
height:400px;
overflow:auto;

lots of fancy jquery solutions out there

For the tinymce wysiwyg editor at least, you can use CSS to set the width of the editor. Just note that you can't set the width less than what it needs to fit all the icons. This is also a valid HTML5 solution as opposed to setting the width using the 'cols' attribute.

CSS:

textarea.wysiwyg {
  width: 450px;
  height: 200px;
}

HTML:

<textarea name="whatever" id="whatever" class="wysiwyg"></textarea>
