 * I just can’t make a textarea work as the tinyMCE editor in a test plugin I’ m
   playing with.
    I have tryied many different ways but don’t know what I’m doing
   wrong. My last attempt was with the use of the_editor() and wp_tiny_mce() with
   wich I can see some buttons doing nothig without a place to enter text.
 * Here is the code in one of my attempts:
 *     ```
       add_filter('admin_head','myplugin_tinymce');
   
       function myplugin_tinymce()
       {
         wp_enqueue_script('common');
         wp_enqueue_script('jquery-color');
         wp_admin_css('thickbox');
         wp_print_scripts('post');
         wp_print_scripts('media-upload');
         wp_print_scripts('jquery');
         wp_print_scripts('jquery-ui-core');
         wp_print_scripts('jquery-ui-tabs');
         wp_print_scripts('tiny_mce');
         wp_print_scripts('editor');
         wp_print_scripts('editor-functions');
         add_thickbox();
         wp_tiny_mce();
         wp_admin_css();
         wp_enqueue_script('utils');
         do_action("admin_print_styles-post-php");
         do_action('admin_print_styles');
         remove_all_filters('mce_external_plugins');
       }
   
       ?>
       <div id="poststuff">
       <div id="<?php echo user_can_richedit() ? 'postdivrich' : 'postdiv'; ?>" class="postarea"><?php the_editor("<strong>hello world strong!</strong>"); ?>
       <?php wp_nonce_field( 'closedpostboxes', 'closedpostboxesnonce', false ); ?>
       <?php wp_nonce_field( 'meta-box-order', 'meta-box-order-nonce', false ); ?>
       </div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * I’ve entered the code above in the same file. Not sure where I was supposed to
   put it.
    Also if this somehow gets to work could qtranslate plugin recognise 
   the textarea and add its language tabs?

 * Don’t know excactly how but by adding a textbox before the code above seems to
   make things look a bit better…
    Also qtranslate recognizes the editor and creates
   the appropriate language tabs.
 * For some reason though there are some buttons missing from the editor and the
   img, video and audio uploader don’t work.
 * Anyone with similar issues??
