Call TinyMCE in a WordPress plugin

Question

Is there a way to add TinyMCE into my own WordPress plugin?

I have a textarea in my back end script and want to make this area into a TinyMCE WYSIWYG editable field.

Answer 1

The tiny mce function wp_tiny_mce is now depricated. For Latest wordpress you want to use wp_editor

$initial_data='What you want to appear in the text box initially';
$settings = array(
'quicktags' => array('buttons' => 'em,strong,link',),
'text_area_name'=>'extra_content',//name you want for the textarea
'quicktags' => true,
'tinymce' => true
);
$id = 'editor-test';//has to be lower case
wp_editor($initial_data,$id,$settings);

for more instructions just go through the documentation in wordpress
