mce wp_editor Control ‘Text’ & ‘Visual’ tabs & buttons independently
-
I cannot work out how to gain complete, independent control over the buttons displayed in the editor when using wp_editor($content,$editor_id,$settings) with hidden Text tab and displayed Visual tab.
To remove the ability to switch between the ‘Text’ tab and ‘Visual’ tab on the top right, the documentation says to use a false ‘quicktags’ element of the $settings parameter array (“Set to false to remove your editor’s Visual and Text tabs.”)
When I use this method to hide ‘Text’ and ‘Visual’ tabs, I need to use the mce_buttons filter to determine which bold,underline, etc buttons are shown – and this applies to ALL wp_editor() thingos I use:
add_filter("mce_buttons", "tinymce_editor_buttons", 99); add_filter("mce_buttons_2", "tinymce_editor_buttons_second_row", 99); function tinymce_editor_buttons($buttons) { // by exclusion: foreach(array('strikethrough','blockquote','hr','alignleft','alignright','aligncenter','wp_more','fullscreen','wp_adv') as $toRemove) { $key = array_search($toRemove,$buttons); if ($key!==false) unset($buttons[$key]); } return $buttons; // or by inclusion: return array('bold','italic','numlist','bullist'); } function tinymce_editor_buttons_second_row($buttons) { //return an empty array to remove this line return array(); }
I tried controlling which buttons are displayed using wp_editor’s $settings parameter’s shortcode like this:
wp_editor(
$content,
$editor_id,
array(
‘quicktags’ => array(
‘buttons’ => ‘link,ins,img,close’
)
)
)but this did not work for me, and even if I could use this method, the $quicktags is no longer == false, so the different tabs are displayed.
I thought about putting some conditions inside the filter code above to return a different $buttons array when different pages are being loaded, but I want to separately control several wp_editor() fields on the one page, so this technique would not work.
How can I control on a case by case basis which buttons and editor tabs are displayed in wp_editor?
