You can add a variety of extra field types, but not another WYSIWYG field - yet.

This is SUPER IMPORTANT. PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE. I spent hours customizing the K2 layout only to find that I can't use code in the text areas. Please respond if there's a workaround!

Is there any workaround this one which would enable us to put html code in extra fields?

its frustrating to almost be complete with a site and then realize that WYSIWYG was not available on text area. Now I am forced to consider another component after so much of work...
I would truly appreciate any work around asap!!

Yes - this is needed by me also ASAP.

Can this be done with a plugin?

I agree. Great product, but it kind defeat the whole point not to have a textarea without HTML editing capabilities. and I see from the trail that the support is kinda slow. besides that K2 has potential.

I agree with you all. I thought K2 had it out-of-the-box and now I got disappointed. =(
My projects needs this feature. Please add it! And instead of Additional info title it would be cool if we could hide this title or rename it to another one too.

Keep the good work.

To get rid of 'additional info' or change it go to com_k2, templates, default (or whatever template files you are using), open up the view you are in, find 'additional info' and change it. Or in the css you can just isolate the selector and use display: none; then it won't show up.

I found a solution !

1/ Edit the administrator/components/com_k2/models/extrafield.php file
Line 164 :
Replace :
$output='';
By :
$editor =& JFactory::getEditor();
$output = $editor->display("K2ExtraField_".$extraField->id."", $active, '550', '400', '60', '20', false);

2/ Edit the administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php file
Line 462 :
Replace :
$variables = JRequest::get('post');
By :
$variables = JRequest::get('post',JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW);

... and that's all folks.

This is **Very** exciting - i've added a new text area into my group, however no wysiwyg editor yet - should I delete the other text areas? are multiple text areas possible (ie have you tested this with multiple wysiwyg text areas

ok - just tested that, still no go... i'm using the JCE editor + latest versions of everything.... any thoughts? this is going to make a huge step forward for K2 (and it's already runnin' up there..)

I'll just chime in and say the it would be really nice to even have linebreaks in text area. wysiwyg would be preferred.

I'm working with the JCE also - I've attached the files i'm messing with including what I believe to be the correct edits... perhaps you could post yours and let me see test them?

I think I found your problem.
in extrafield.php
Comment out line 167, which is the second $output.

well that was certainly an error - however it hasn't solved it- I'm getting a larger text area now though.... as if the dimensions are being correctly pulled however the wyswyg editor isn't there (JCE 154)

Greatly appreciate your help here - this is a big step for K2

tested this by creating a new extra group, a new text area, a new category and a new item..... both firefox linux and firefox windows... I am surprised that the text area is the correct size and not yielding the toolbar across the top
