Textarea Datum without TinyMCE?

Is it possible to create a multiline input box (like a textarea) as a Datum in a component's Content area that does not have TinyMCE in it?

OR is it possible to modify the TinyMCE script to NOT engage if .... ?

I know this is an old thread, but Dan, did you ever find a solution for this? I'm interested in entering arbitrary HTML into some components and TinyMCE just gets in the way. It seems strange that something so benign would be so challenging.

Yes. It was one of those - "You have to be kidding - what the heck was I thinking."

Version TS 7.2.1

With TinyMCE:
<textarea external-editor="tinymce" external-editor-config="desktop" cols="70" rows="5"/>

without TinyMCE:
<textarea cols="70" rows="5"/>

That would be for a DCT but what about a Datum? e.g. <Datum ID="Blah" Name="Blah" Type="Textarea" />

There doesn't seem to be any way to define what editor a Datum uses. The above example just uses TinyMCE and "external-editor" isn't a valid attribute.

Or are you saying that you worked around it by using a DCT?

Most people are now using DCTs to enter SP content. Makes using LSCS so much easier.
