3.i. How do I add openWYSIWYG to my web page or web application?
You can easily add openWYSIWYG to your content management system or custom web application by just adding a few simple lines of JavaScript code.
1. Near the beginning of the web page to which you plan to add openWYSIWYG insert the following line of code before the closing </head> tag.
Include the following:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="/your_directory_path/openwysiwyg/wysiwyg.js"></script>
Where your_directory_path is the path to your openwysiwyg directory.
2. Next, add opening and closing <textarea> tags where you plan to include your WYSIWYG editor. You'll also want to give your <textarea> an ID value.
Example <textarea> code:
<textarea id="your_textarea"></textarea>
Your <textarea>'s ID should be something unique.
3. Finally, add the following JavaScript code just below your closing </textarea> tag.
Example JavaScript code:
<script language="JavaScript">
generate_wysiwyg('your_textarea');
</script>
The value you pass to the generate_wysiwyg function (your_textarea) must be the exact same as your <textarea>'s ID.
And that's about it, you've just added openWYSIWYG to your content management system or custom web application with just a few small lines of code.
