How to add wysiwyg editor in Wordpress meta box

Question

I'm creating a meta box for my custom post type. There are multiple fields where I would like to use wysiwyg editor rather than <textarea>. Is is possible to add multiple editors to a meta box?

I would really appreciate your help!

Many thanks. Dasha

Answer 1

This did the trick for me:

It's basically creating your textarea with an id, then calling from js:

tinyMCE.execCommand('mceAddControl', false, 'your_textarea_id');

Hope it helps!

But you need to replace presentation with nl2br() function as textarea in custom templates have the toogle JS issue, that removes all your <P> and <br/> tags and therefore all line breaks.
