Widget output disabling Post Editor

Hey all,

I’m extending wordpress functionality to enable a “movie review” capability. I have an extension to the tinyMCE editor working properly and decided to add a sidebar widget to display recent reviews (where a review is defined as a post containing a specific tag [customizable by the widget]).

When the widget is enabled, it displays properly on the site. However, it causes a javascript error stating that “realTinyMCE” in tiny_mce_gzip.php cannot be found.

The code is virtually identical to the recent_posts widget (albeit, I know there’s an error SOMEWHERE in mine).

The function to display the recent reviews is as follows:

[code]
echo $before_widget;
echo $before_title . $title . $after_title;
echo "

";
foreach($posts as $post) {
setup_postdata($post);
$posttags = get_the_tags();
if($posttags) {
$found = false;
foreach($posttags as $t) {
if($t->name == $tag) {
$found = true;
break;
}
}
if($found) {
echo "
• <a href=\"";
  the_permalink();
  echo "\">";
  the_title();
  echo "

";
}
}
}
echo "

";
echo $after_widget;
[/code]

(if there’s an easier way to do this, I’d love to know!)

I’ve found that if I comment out the code within the conditional statement against the “$found” variable, it does not cause any errors with the editor. However, when that block is reachable, the javascript error is seen.

To be more specific:

Line: 44
Char: 2

Error: ‘realTinyMCE’ is undefined
Code: 0
URL: http://site/wp-admin/post-new.php

Any help is greatly appreciated :).
