TinyMce for specific field / widget?

[step]

Does anyone have have an stratetgies for apply tiny to specific text
fields?

IE I have two in my model, summary and body text, i just need tinymce
on bodytext...

If I use

class Media:
js = ['/media/admin/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js', '/
path/to/your/tinymce_setup.js',]

in the model admin, both text fields are editable via tinymce...

I tried to get it work using the django-tinymce but there doesn't seem
to be a way to "easily" include the grappelli tinymce config file...

I noticed this issue too .. but never really had to deal with it.

There is a class you can add to prevent tinyMCE from initializing on a field, it's somthing like "noMceEditor" or "no-mceeditor"
I can't remember.. and of course it implies that you write your form manually..

I think the "right" way to do it would be to create a custom form field which inherits a text field..

something like

class MyModel(models.Model):
    body  = models.RichTextField(...)

anything else is somewhat a hack imo.

Assuming you are just referring to the standard admin interface and not
your own forms/views, you can exclude fields by overriding the
formfield_for_dbfield method on your ModelAdmin class. It's not pretty
or semantic, but it works.

So assuming a model called Story with a summary and a body, it would
look something like this in admin.py:

class StoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
def formfield_for_dbfield(self, db_field, **kwargs):
field = super(StoryAdmin, self).formfield_for_dbfield(db_field,
**kwargs)
if db_field.name == 'summary':
field.widget.attrs['class'] = 'mceNoEditor ' +
field.widget.attrs.get('class', '')
return field

Any fields you don't explicitly exclude in that if statement will get
the TinyMCE treatment. Hope that helps.

set mode to "exact" and elements to the ID of your bodytext-field, see

Patrick's answer seems to be the good way ;
Assuming your models define a summary and a text, and you want TinyMce to be applied to text only, you can set :

tinyMCE.init({
        ...
        mode : "exact",
        elements : "id_text"
});

In your '/path/to/your/tinymce_setup.js'. Ids for elements are defined from your fields names.
