Hello. How can I add JCE to a custom module or component view while specifying the JCE profile to be loaded at that particular instance? For example, I may want only a specific custom module to use a more limited profile, or possibly only a single instance within a component view where I would have multiple editor windows. How would I go about composing the XML to load the editor? 

<field name="my_text" type="editor" editor="jce" label="Text" description="here" rows="6" cols="100" filter="safehtml" required="false" message="" buttons="false" />
Can I just add a profile="6" in there? Or is there another way to force that particular editor to load with a specific profile? Meybe some PHP at the helper file? Thank you.

Unfortunately the field does not accept custom attributes.

Or is there another way to force that particular editor to load with a specific profile?


Not as yet. I have not yet been able to find a good way to implement this, bu tI will continue looking :)

Thanks Ryan.

How would I go about, for example, adding JCE editor in a purely PHP way, straight into the view file, bypassing the <field> tag in the XML?
By adding it with pure PHP, can I set it to the desired profile?
Or is this a parameter that JCE is not ready to interpret coming from the component in the first place?

Maybe prevent the loading of the editor in the first place, then calling it again with the proper profile?
Or destroying the editor upon initialization and reinitializing it with the profile?

I am not a proper PHP dev, just a PHP-proficiently-curious integrator, so I could not make much sense of the Joomla API Editor doc page.

Cheers.

You can now initialize the editor on the page using the following: 

$document = JFactory::getDocument();

require_once JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_jce/includes/base.php';

$editor = new WFEditor(array('id' => 10));
$editor->init();

foreach ($editor->getScripts() as $script) {
	$document->addScript($script);
}

foreach ($editor->getStyleSheets() as $style) {
	$document->addStylesheet($style);
}

$document->addScriptDeclaration(implode("
", $editor->getScriptDeclaration()));
As you can see in the above code, you can add the id in the array when creating a new editor instance, eg: 

$editor = new WFEditor(array('id' => 10));
