Hi,
I’m completely new to using any kind of content management software, so getting my head around MODx this far has been difficult!
This is probably an incredibly dense question, but I was wondering how I would go about applying TinyMCE to a bog standard html form, within a textarea.
Do I have to call the plugin in a snippet and then call that snippet in my chunk, or is there or a more direct way of doing it?
Sorry again for the basic nature of the question, only I’m a complete newbie to this, and I’ve gotten myself a bit lost!
Any help is appreciated.

which version of modx evo or revo?
you want to have TinyMCE for the content-field in the modx-backend?
or do you need custom-fields (TVs) for resources with a TinyMCE-textarea?
In Evo TinyMCE is included by default.
For Revo you need to install that per package-management.
If you need richtext-TVs create TV with input-type richtext.
Hi,
I have Evo with TInyMCE already installed. I want to apply the TinyMCE to one of the Modules in the backend, where within our system you can add an item. What the system currently does is pull a chunk which has a form in it, and then does some php on it within the module itself. I’ve had a look and I can’t see away of applying a template within the module section or the chunk section, but I might be missing something as I’m a bit confused! I think that I want to have TinyMCE for the content-field in the modx-backend.
Thanks

which module? And where do you add items with your module?
To custom-tables or do you add/edit modx-resources with your module?
If you only want to add/edit modx resources tinyMCE is allready there per default for your content-field, or not?
Hi,
The module calls the chunk which has the html form data, (where I want to add the TinyMCE) and then calls a snippet. The snippet then processes the collected data and stores it into a catalogue database.
The Module "Add Item" where I want to put the TinyMCE editor isn’t within the Elements section, so I don’t think its a resource, and its only within the elements section that I have the editor by default. Within the module section, I wrote the html form that its currently using, and I couldn’t see any ways of adding the editor by default, so I was assuming I had to do it through calling the plugin?
Thanks
Hollie
