TinyMCE in CMS Category description in 1.6

[cedced]

Hi,

 

I've managed to have the TinyMCE attached to the CMS Category and when I use it to format the text it works fine. However when I save the page, nothing is saved : the formatting doesn't show on the frontend and if I edit back the cms category page, although TinyMCE is still there, the formatting is reset.

 

Has anyone put in place TinyCME for the CMS category description or would know what to correct for the formatting to be saved?

 

Thanks

Prestashop 1.6.1.2

 

1. Add TinyMCE editor to cms category description field

'autoload_rte' => true

create overriding file /override/controllers/admin/AdminCmsCategoriesController.php

<?php


Class AdminCmsCategoriesController extends AdminCmsCategoriesControllerCore
{
    public function renderForm()
    {
        $this->display = 'edit';
        $this->initToolbar();
        if (!$this->loadObject(true)) {
            return;
        }


        $categories = CMSCategory::getCategories($this->context->language->id, false);
        $html_categories = CMSCategory::recurseCMSCategory($categories, $categories[0][1], 1, $this->getFieldValue($this->object, 'id_parent'), 1);


        $this->fields_form = array(
            'legend' => array(
                'title' => $this->l('CMS Category'),
                'icon' => 'icon-folder-close'
            ),
            'input' => array(
                array(
                    'type' => 'text',
                    'label' => $this->l('Name'),
                    'name' => 'name',
                    'required' => true,
                    'lang' => true,
                    'hint' => $this->l('Invalid characters:').' <>;=#{}'
                ),
                array(
                    'type' => 'switch',
                    'label' => $this->l('Displayed'),
                    'name' => 'active',
                    'required' => false,
                    'is_bool' => true,
                    'values' => array(
                        array(
                            'id' => 'active_on',
                            'value' => 1,
                            'label' => $this->l('Enabled')
                        ),
                        array(
                            'id' => 'active_off',
                            'value' => 0,
                            'label' => $this->l('Disabled')
                        )
                    ),
                ),
                // custom template
                array(
                    'type' => 'select_category',
                    'label' => $this->l('Parent CMS Category'),
                    'name' => 'id_parent',
                    'options' => array(
                        'html' => $html_categories,
                    ),
                ),
                array(
                    'type' => 'textarea',
                    'label' => $this->l('Description'),
                    'name' => 'description',
                    'lang' => true,
                    'rows' => 5,
                    'cols' => 40,
                    'hint' => $this->l('Invalid characters:').' <>;=#{}',
'autoload_rte' => true
                ),
                array(
                    'type' => 'text',
                    'label' => $this->l('Meta title'),
                    'name' => 'meta_title',
                    'lang' => true,
                    'hint' => $this->l('Invalid characters:').' <>;=#{}'
                ),
                array(
                    'type' => 'text',
                    'label' => $this->l('Meta description'),
                    'name' => 'meta_description',
                    'lang' => true,
                    'hint' => $this->l('Invalid characters:').' <>;=#{}'
                ),
                array(
                    'type' => 'text',
                    'label' => $this->l('Meta keywords'),
                    'name' => 'meta_keywords',
                    'lang' => true,
                    'hint' => $this->l('Invalid characters:').' <>;=#{}'
                ),
                array(
                    'type' => 'text',
                    'label' => $this->l('Friendly URL'),
                    'name' => 'link_rewrite',
                    'required' => true,
                    'lang' => true,
                    'hint' => $this->l('Only letters and the minus (-) character are allowed.')
                ),
            ),
            'submit' => array(
                'title' => $this->l('Save'),
            )
        );


        if (Shop::isFeatureActive()) {
            $this->fields_form['input'][] = array(
                'type' => 'shop',
                'label' => $this->l('Shop association'),
                'name' => 'checkBoxShopAsso',
            );
        }


        $this->tpl_form_vars['PS_ALLOW_ACCENTED_CHARS_URL'] = (int)Configuration::get('PS_ALLOW_ACCENTED_CHARS_URL');
        return AdminController::renderForm();
    }
}
?>

2. Let the prestashop save html code, replacing cms category desription field type from 

TYPE_STRING

to 

TYPE_HTML

create overriding file /override/classes/CMSCategory.php

<?php


class CMSCategory extends CMSCategoryCore
{
    public static $definition = array(
        'table' => 'cms_category',
        'primary' => 'id_cms_category',
        'multilang' => true,
        'multilang_shop' => true,
        'fields' => array(
            'active' =>            array('type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool', 'required' => true),
            'id_parent' =>            array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedInt', 'required' => true),
            'position' =>            array('type' => self::TYPE_INT),
            'level_depth' =>        array('type' => self::TYPE_INT),
            'date_add' =>            array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isDate'),
            'date_upd' =>            array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isDate'),


            /* Lang fields */
            'name' =>                array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isCatalogName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 64),
            'link_rewrite' =>        array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isLinkRewrite', 'required' => true, 'size' => 64),
            'description' =>        array('type' => self::TYPE_HTML, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isCleanHtml'),
            'meta_title' =>        array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 128),
            'meta_description' =>    array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 255),
            'meta_keywords' =>        array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 255),
        ),
    ); 
}


?>

3.Go to your theme folder, open cms.tpl, find 

<p>{$cms_category->description|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}</p>

replace to

<div>{$cms_category->description}</div>

4. Dont forget to delete class_index.php in the /cache folder

Thank you, thank you - you are brilliant! On my own, i could work out the last step, but would have no hope figuring out the rest of it.

[contactovisual]

Vadimda solution worked very well. Should be something to add on a next update of Prestashop. It's a must.

I add it to Prestashop 1.6.1.4

 

Thank you

Hi everyone,

 

I am glad somebody could fix this for PS 1.6.1.4.

I also need to have tinymce and html code in Category description. Could someone teach me how to do it, please?

 

Thanks in advance.

Adrian.

 

P.S. My first instict is to copy the solution for CMS category description and just delete the "CMS" out of it... Will that work or is there a different approach?
