Inserting button to frontend tinyMCE

Dear mario83s,
currently the VisualEditor integration is only enabled within the backend, because without other 3rd party plugins WordPress doesn’t support this feature.

Which frontend editing plugin you’re using ? If it is based on the latest TinyMCE release it might be possible to enable Enlighter’s visual editor features.

best regards, Andi

Hi Andi,

I’m using tinyMCE 4 on WordPress 4.0.
I’m asking this because I have installed another syntax higlhighting plugin named wp-synhighlight, and that plugin has successfully integrated to the frontend editor. So I figured, there must be a way! But I installed it just for testing purposes. As I want to use your plugin at my website, I would really appreciate your help for integrating Enlighter buttons on the frontend.

I think it’s a great idea to enable frontend editing.
But which kind of tinyMce plugin you’re using to achieve it (plugin url please) ? – it’s not a native WordPress feature.

Generally Enlighter uses it’s own TinyMCE plugin for backend-editing which is integrated into WordPress’ event-hook system – with some modifications it should also work on the frontend.

Well.. U got me there now.. I really don’t know.. I haven’t installed tinyMCE by my own. I have WP 4.0 so I’m guessing I’m using native WP_editor.

This is how it looks on my submit page:

<?php 

								$settings = array(
									'wpautop' => true,
									'postContent' => 'content',
									'media_buttons' => false,
									'editor_css' => '<style>.mceToolba { background-color: #faf9f4; padding: 5px; }</style>',
									'tinymce' => array(
										'toolbar1' => 'bold,italic,underline,blockquote,separator,strikethrough,bullist,numlist,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,undo,redo,link,unlink,fullscreen',
										'toolbar2' => 'pastetext,pasteword,removeformat,|,charmap,|,outdent,indent,|,undo,redo',
										'toolbar3' => '',
										'toolbar4' => ''
									),
									'quicktags' => false
								);

								wp_editor( $postContent, 'postContent', $settings );

							?>

And on the other page I’m calling it with

<?php echo the_content(); ?>

As I have tinyMCE set to true, I figured that I’m using tinyMCE. But it looks like it is native WP text editor..

Of, course yor’re using a “selfmade” front-end editor based on the buildin wp_editor function (currently tinymce 4).
It is possible to integrate Enlighter, but i have to create a working font-end editing example for development.

Dear mario,

i’ve added your feature request to the new v2.4 release.
You have to enable the frontend editing function: Enlighter Settings Page -> Advanced -> TinyMCE Integration (Visual Editor) -> Enable Frontend Integration.
This feature also requires a logged-in user with edit_posts and/or edit_pages privileges and is only available for the wp_editor function – no thrid party editors are supported!

best regards, Andi
