Hi - I'm creating something in Moodle which includes a form for typing in some optional custom code, using a HTML <textarea> element. (Don't worry, it's not possible to use it to execute malicious code. It's only Jmol-script.)
How can I prevent the <textarea> from automagically turning into the HTML editor? It's highly inappropriate in the case of this particular form field...
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dan,
I wasn't aware of the HTML editor automatically turning every <textarea> into a HTML editor.
If you use Moodle's print_textarea function, the first argument specifies if you want to use the HTML editor (if the user has allowed it, that is)
print_textarea(false, 30, 65, 680, 400, "alltext", "default text");
will open a normal textarea with name 'alltext' and content 'default text'.

Does this work for you? It doesn't work for me.
When I asked the question I was directly writing <textarea> to the page, and somehow that was automatically transformed into a HTML editor. Now, I'm doing as you say, with print_textarea(false...), and it still appears as a HTML editor! (I can prove that I'm looking at the right screen etc
since if I manipulate the rows/cols arguments, the box changes size...)

The example is taken from the text resource type, which AFAIK displays a normal <textarea> ... if I am looking at the right screen, that is...
Don't know why it doesn't work Maybe you could look at how the
text resource type displays a textarea without the HTML editor kicking in.

Thanks! The clue was indeed revealed in the "text" resource type. The solution, for anyone else who may need it:
Set the *global* variable $usehtmleditor to 'summary' (i.e. the name(s) of the textarea(s) that you *do* want to be passed through the HTML editor) - if you don't do this, then by default all of the textareas are transformed.

Don't include use_html_editor function at the bottom of your page, that should do it.
usually used:
at the top of the page:
$usehtmleditor = can_use_html_editor();
and at the bottom of the page:
if ( $usehtmleditor ) {
use_html_editor();
}
So just leave these out and editor shouldn't appear.

Dan,
I downloaded your jmol resource type, but couldn't find a textarea. Maybe you are referring to a new version you are working on.
$usehtmleditor is set in course/mod.php before code of the mod/resource framework is called. It is set according to the user preference. (See function can_use_html_editor() in moodlelib.php)
