Joomla 3 - How to set content of the editor field?

Question

I have a editor field which I would like to populate with HTML content:

<fieldset name="basic">
    <field name="Code" type="editor" label="Code" description="" width="300" filter="safehtml" default="" />
</fieldset>

Can this be achieved?

Thank you.

Answer 1

You can create the editor dynamically in the getInput() as

protected function getInput() {
    $editor = JFactory::getEditor();
    return $editor->display($this->name, $this->value, '550', '400', '60', '20', false); }

If this doesn't help you can create it using the JHtml class

Hope this helps.

Assuming you mean the default value, add default element within the field and include the content wrapped with CDATA:

<fieldset name="basic">
    <field name="Code" type="editor" label="Code" description="" width="300" filter="safehtml">
        <default><![CDATA[<h1>Sample Text</h1>]]></default>
    </field>
</fieldset>
