Once downloaded and put on your server, you’ve already achieved 60% of the work to be done. I will explain the rest of the 40% with the S(D)N web log system as an example.

The first thing is to indicate where the editor resides on your server

 
Now we need to initialise the editor

 
tinyMCE.init({ 
 
The editor needs to be applied on the textareas
        mode : "textareas",
 
But we don’t need to apply them on all the textareas. Therefore we say that we want the editor to only apply to textareas with a certain style
        editor_selector : "mceEditor",
 
Don’t forget to apply the style on the textarea itself
 
There are 2 pre installed themes: the simple and the advanced
        theme : "advanced",
 
We need some extra goodies like spell checking (works with PHP spell check, Google web services) and context menus
        plugins : "table,spellchecker,searchreplace,contextmenu",
 
The editor may be resized
theme_advanced_resizing : true,
 
Therefore we need also the status bar
        theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom",
 
An editor is nothing without a toolbar
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
 
Now we need to define what needs be shown on the toolbar and thus allowed by the end user. I used this SDN: Weblogs and Formatting! as a base for the buttons. There are different ways to put the buttons. I just indicate the buttons I need, spread over 3 lines
            theme_advanced_buttons1 : "bold,italic,formatselect,sub,sup",
            theme_advanced_buttons2 : "hr,separator,table,separator,justifycenter,separator,bullist,numlist,separator,link,unlink,anchor,separator,image",
            theme_advanced_buttons3 : "undo,redo,separator,cleanup,removeformat,separator,spellchecker"
 
To conclude the full script:
 
The result can be seen on my usual place.
Important. This is NOT the real web log editing system, but a private initiative in order to demonstrate things. Therefore, I’ve omitted the submit buttons.
But that doesn’t imply that this couldn’t be implemented to make our S(D)N web log contributors’ life a lot more easier. It is - as “the Grumpy Old Man” indicates – only 15 minutes of work to implement things.
