Hah, well I appreciate it. I’ve been quite busy as of late but I was considering writing a few things in the coming months, so definitely stay tuned if your interested.

To all those having issues with the tutorial still, my hunch is that something changed in one of the newer versions of Django and this tutorial needs to be mended as such. I will look into it sometime soon hopefully.

I’m usually not the guy to submit my opinion on people’s write ups, but for this write up I just had to do it. I’ve been browsing through your blog a lot recently and I’m super impressed, I think you might potentially become a main voices for your niche. Not sure what your schedule is like in life, but if you started commiting more effort to posting on this site, I’d guess you would start receiving a bunch of traffic eventually. With affiliate stuff, it might become a great reserve revenue stream. Just a concept to think about. Good luck!

I modified your code in this way:

in forms.py i have one model with two fields:
start_text = forms.CharField(widget=AdvancedEditor(attrs={‘id’:'start_text’}), required=False)
finish_text = forms.CharField(widget=AdvancedEditor(attrs={‘id’:'finish_text’}), required=False)

in widgets.py where i store advancededitor:
return rendered + mark_safe(u”’
;
tinyMCE.settings = {
mode: “textareas”,
theme: “advanced”,
..some content skipped……
content_css: “/media/css/main.css”,
height: “350px”,
width: “653px”
};
tinyMCE.execCommand(‘mceAddControl’, true, ‘%s’);
”’ % self.attrs["id"])
And now it’s ok

Hello there! Thanks for your widget, it works great while there is no need to have two text areas with widget. Otherwise no data sent to server in POST.

@Webber: No thats literatly exactly how I did it and no I did not use django-tinymce this is entirely my implementation. What exactly doesnt work? If you notice WordPress is annoying and doesnt format my HTML tags correctly and instead escapes them so thats one thing you will have to fix on your own which may be a factor in why its not working perhaps?

I followed your setup but it doesn’t work on my admin text area.

Could you give more hints on how you set up?

Do you use django-tinymce?

thanks!
