It always seems that when it comes to plugins inside of WordPress, one thing always reigns true:
No TinyMCE!
TinyMCE as you know it is the visual text editor you use when you make posts and pages inside of WordPress. It is used so you don’t have to have any HTML knowledge to style your articles.
When it comes to plugins, they always leave out this feature. So WordPress basically goes through all this trouble to make sure you have a smooth writing experience, and once you get to a plugin, you get totally screwed. Bummer.
One of the reasons for this is the fact that is the complexity of implementing it into your plugin. This doesn’t make for an easy process. I made sure that no matter how difficult, I wanted it in my plugin. I wanted it in there because I wanted to make this plugin as simple to use as possible.
Next is the fact that some plugins will utilize coding as part of the user input. Basically that means you have to put in some code on your side for it to work properly. A lot of times this translates into things like Adsense Code, tracking code, opt-in form code. And when you have to put those into a Visual Text Editor, (like WordPress), the editor usually breaks up the code. It is such as hassle.
I have addressed that as well, by making an entirely separate area for your code. That way you don’t have to worry about meshing your styles and your code together. Keep them separate so you don’t run into any trouble.
And if that weren’t enough, I made sure that your visual editor still had the HTML toggle, in case you wanted to turn it off for any reason.
