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.

peregrine

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

whats the name of the form in qna?

kirkpa31

<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!!!!!
