Question

I am unable to add editor to my frontend in my custom component and unable to find any help online as well. Is it supposed to be something really simple?

I got this code from somewhere but even this is showing simple textarea, I have also checked the user’s editor option and tried setting it to TinyMCE manually but it still shows simple plain textarea

        jimport( 'joomla.html.editor' );
        $editor =& JEditor::getInstance();
        echo $editor->display("jobdesc", ""/*$itemData['body']*/, "400", "100", "150", "10", 1, null, null, null, array('mode' => 'advanced'));

You can load the editor with JFactory.

$editor = JFactory::getEditor();
echo $editor->display("jobdesc", ""/*$itemData['body']*/, "400", "100", "150", "10", 1, null, null, null, array('mode' => 'advanced'));
