  • I'm using ButtonBar and Vanilla 2.0.18.4 and WordCount works perfectly when adding a comment to a posted question (I'm also using the Q&A plugin)

    But when composing a new question it does not appear. I've included two screenshots that display what I am talking about:

  • I've been playing with this bit of code within the default.php of this plugin:

    public function PostController_Render_Before($Sender) { $this->_WordCounter($Sender); } public function DiscussionController_Render_Before($Sender) { $this->_WordCounter($Sender); }

    It looks correct, but doesn't display the Word Count on the new discussion form. I have absolutely no clue why.

  • var forms = $(".DiscussionForm, .CommentForm, .EditCommentForm");

    whats the name of the form in qna?

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

    <form id="Form_Discussion" method="post" action="/post/discussion">

    I've been looking at that piece of code and not understanding why it doesn't work as the form name, even for q&a, is still "discussion".

    I've even tried disabling Q&A just to see if it works without, uninstalling/reinstalling ButtonBar and Count Words, switching to default theme, but no luck.

    And what do you see in jquery.wordcount.js

    var forms = $(".DiscussionForm, .CommentForm, .EditCommentForm");
    
    it is looking for** class**  not id
    
    so try changing it to this add the id
    var forms = $(".DiscussionForm, .CommentForm, .EditCommentForm, #DiscussionForm");
    
    
    report back.

    Just deleted code I pasted here

    b/c your fix on line 6 above worked perfectly. Just needed to add #DiscussionForm

    Thank you @peregrine!!!!!
