Add filter to enable users to alter the WP Editor settings

[Kau-Boy]

A user wanted to have the WYSIWYG (HTML) view available in the media editing. But as far as I can see, it is currently impossible to do so without hacking the core and setting the flag "tinymce" to true.

Adding a filter would enable users (or plugin developers) to alter the settings passed to the parse_settings() function.

I have a patch attached to this ticket and already wrote a little plugin to test it:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: WP Editor Settings
Description: Change the settings for the WP Editor
*/

add_action( 'wp_editor_settings', 'activate_tinymce_on_media', 10, 2 );

function activate_tinymce_on_media( $settings, $editor_id ) {
	if ( 'attachment_content' == $editor_id ) {
		$settings['tinymce'] = true;
	}
	
	return $settings;
}

P.S. If you decide to add such a fitler, feel free to use another name for it.

This is more an exact duplicate of #19103. I also prefer a global filter like this which seems to be the latest idea in #24472.

You are right, looks pretty much the same. I haven't found this closed ticket before creating my one. Sorry.

But now matter how you solve it, some filter should be added somewhere.
