Modx rich text input field for template variable

I'm new to modx Rev and I am trying to set the input field for a template variable so that it uses my chosen richtext editor. If I set the input field as rich text I just get a 1 line text field. If I set the editor as Textarea then thats all I get a text area field - there is no option in the drop down under input options for "html" as some tutorials suggest. Have I not enabled something? I am a bit lost being new to the app.

Solution

  • I had the same problem. My solution

    1. Go to Package Management and search for TinyMCE.
    2. Download it. Then click Install.
    3. Set the Input for my Template Variable to RichText
    4. Click on Resource then Template Variables and now I see the TinyMCE editor
