WordPress.org

The Plugin uses the wp_editor function to generate a rich text editor for page/post excerpts, so will only work in WordPress 3.3 or greater.

The plugin utilises three action hooks:

• add_meta_boxes is used to remove the excerpt meta box generated by WordPress
• edit_form_advanced and edit_page_form are used to add the excerpt editor to posts and pages - see the Notes section on the Codex page for wp_editor.

Note: the new editing box cannot be placed in a sortable, movable meta box because of an issue with using TinyMCE in sortables documented here:

The editing box for excerpts uses wp_editor to create a rich text editor. You can set the options for the rich text editor in the plugin options page (in the WordPress Settings menu).

The plugin also contains two filters which act on the "teeny" MCE editor instance which is used by default. The plugins and buttons used by the minimal editor can also be customised on the plugin options page.
