Any suggestions will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks!

In your controller :

function save() AND apply()

// Check for request forgeries
JRequest::checkToken() or jexit( 'Invalid Token' );

$cid = JRequest::getVar( 'cid', array(), 'post', 'array' );
$post	= JRequest::get('post');
$post['id'] = (int) $cid[0];

//HERE THE SYNTAX
$post['my_rich_text'] = JRequest::getVar('my_rich_text', '', 'post', 'string', JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW);

And...
in the check() function of your table file, don't apply any filter on it (as the others typed fields)

Coding is now a piece of cake
