@tRm: what version of php are you using? I’ll try to investigate not sure what could be causing that.

Using php 4.3.11 with no option to upgrade (clients are using Yahoo webhosting). I updated to 0.9.7, but the issue remained.

Thank you for the quick reply and willingness to help.

…0.9.7 should allow you to turn the editor on for all textareas…

Hi,
the good news is it works ok. The bad news is it targets each textarea including the “keywords” textarea.
Not a big problem for me given that I always hide it, but someone might find it useful to target all textareas excluding keywords.
Anyway thanks, this did help!

Edit
I think an easier way is to target each textarea having a class of “glz_text_area_field”. I’ll see if there is a way. Of course any hint on how to do it is welcome.

@tRM: I’ll need to setup a php4 environment to test this out on. According to the docs what I’m doing should work. I might revert to having explicit global functions for the callbacks and have those call the class methods.

I’ll see if I have time to build that out in the next couple days.

…Otherwise if you know the ids for the textareas we want you can do:

settings.body.mode = "exact";
settings.body.elements = "id1,id2,id3";

Thank you Patrick it works perfectly!
To summarize I wrote something like this in the “Callback functions” box:

settings.excerpt.mode = "exact";
settings.excerpt.elements = "custom-3, custom-7";
settings.body.mode = "exact";
settings.body.elements = "custom-4,custom-6";

This way textareas with an id of custom-3 and custom-7 will have the same settings (in particular height) of excerpts and textareas with an id of custom-4 and custom-6 the same of body. This was exactly what I was looking for (without even hacking the plugin).

I have another problem though (not related to the above): when I try to insert an image the new window opens but thumbnails are not shown and the loader gif goes on forever.
Seems like it doesen’t find any image though I’m testing in a pretty standard install (images are in the “images” dir). Mhm… must be a problem of mine since no one reported it untill now.
Any ideas?

Thank you again for the help.

I just installed 0.9.7 and the image picker is not working correctly for me. When I click to add an image, the pop up box displays my website homepage under the General tab (therefore I am unable to choose an image, I just see my complete homepage in the small pop up box). If I click the Appearance and Advanced tabs, they display correctly. But without being able to access the General tab, I can’t add an image.

Don’t know if I’m the only one experiencing this?…. any help you can provide is appreciated.
BTW I’m using Firefox 3.5.5 on a Mac, php 5.2.9 running on XAMPP test server.
Thanks!
