Magento add wysiwyg editor in custom module.


step-1

Go to following path and open Edit.php

app\code\local\Namespace\Modulename\Block\Adminhtml\Modulename\Edit.php

and Add this Function


protected function _prepareLayout()
{
    // Load Wysiwyg on demand and Prepare layout
    if (Mage::getSingleton('cms/wysiwyg_config')->isEnabled() && ($block = $this->getLayout()->getBlock('head'))) {
        $block->setCanLoadTinyMce(true);
    }
    parent::_prepareLayout();
}


step-2Go to following path and open Form.php

app\code\local\Namespace\Modulename\Block\Adminhtml\Modulename\Edit\Tab\Form.php

and find function protected function_prepareForm() and add

$form = new Varien_Data_Form();
$this->setForm($form);
$form->setHtmlIdPrefix('yourmodulename');
$wysiwygConfig = Mage::getSingleton('cms/wysiwyg_config')->getConfig(array('tab_id' => 'form_section'));
$wysiwygConfig["files_browser_window_url"] = Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/url')->getUrl('adminhtml/cms_wysiwyg_images/index');
$wysiwygConfig["directives_url"] = Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/url')->getUrl('adminhtml/cms_wysiwyg/directive');
$wysiwygConfig["directives_url_quoted"] = Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/url')->getUrl('adminhtml/cms_wysiwyg/directive');
$wysiwygConfig["widget_window_url"] = Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/url')->getUrl('adminhtml/widget/index');
$wysiwygConfig["files_browser_window_width"] = (int) Mage::getConfig()->getNode('adminhtml/cms/browser/window_width');
$wysiwygConfig["files_browser_window_height"] = (int) Mage::getConfig()->getNode('adminhtml/cms/browser/window_height');

$plugins = $wysiwygConfig->getData("plugins");
$plugins[0]["options"]["url"] = Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/url')->getUrl('adminhtml/system_variable/wysiwygPlugin');
$plugins[0]["options"]["onclick"]["subject"] = "MagentovariablePlugin.loadChooser('".Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/url')->getUrl('adminhtml/system_variable/wysiwygPlugin')."', '{{html_id}}');";
$plugins = $wysiwygConfig->setData("plugins",$plugins);


and add this code to display wysiwyg editor

$fieldset->addField('content', 'editor', array(
    'name' => 'content',
    'label' => Mage::helper('news')->__('Content'),
    'title' => Mage::helper('news')->__('Content'),
    'style' => 'width:700px; height:500px;',
    'wysiwyg' => true,
    'required' => true,
    'state' => 'html',
            'config' => $wysiwygConfig,
));

step-3

Go to following path and open yourmodulename.xml if its not available than create xml file

app\design\adminhtml\default\default\layout\yourmodulename.xml

and add


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
  <news_adminhtml_news_edit>
    <update handle="editor"/>
  </news_adminhtml_news_edit>
</layout>

  4. I had troubles with implementing my custom module wysiwyg editor, with links not being decoded on the frontend and your final code part fixed that for me.

    Just for the sake of consistency: in your demonstration code, at step 3 it should obviously be 'mynamespace_adminhtml_mymodule_edit' rather than 'news_adminhtml_news_edit'.

    Thanks again for sharing!
