Preview Ext? vs HTML

0bvious0bvious
edited July 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Preview Ext for V1 works fine up to the point where Html / BBcode is used in a post. When the preview button is pressed simply the code gets previewed rather than the final layout. Is there a solution to this?

I am using the BBcode/html editor on my forum, perhaps there is an extension clash? The preview seems to show html here on this forum, am I using an old version?

I have done a wee search around for this problem and the nearest discussion I could find was over at the dev forum here.

Cheers

    Yeah, SirNot knows it's broken, but I thought he fixed it.

    SirNot? Any ideas?

    Oh, and it's my fault it's broken - sorry :(

    Works great except the html preview. Been loving the new RSS2 by the way. It's like running two blogs :)

    Bump. Has the preview ext been updated so it shows HTMl formatting?

    I haven't tried it again recently. SirNot - did you update and reupload to the addons site?

    Oh, oops. I had fixed it on the subversion but I don't think it's been re-uploaded.

    It works perfectly. ^_^
    Well, except for double-linebreaks...but that's fine. I can also confirm it works with HTML/Plain Text/Textile/and BBCode.

    Double line breaks? Does that happen for all the format types or just certain ones?

    Lemme check...

    Edit: Ok - here's the rundown....

    HTML/Plain Text - Displays correctly.
    BBCode - Does not display line breaks at all.
    Textile - Only displays single line breaks...no matter how many you put in. But that's actually the nature of Textile...so no need to worry.

    So - only BBCode messes up linebreaks by not displaying them at all.

    Nope, still errors for me, conflict with another extension...

    Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /forum/extensions/Quicktags/default.php on line 43

    I get the same Quicktags clash too. What to do what to do...

    I also get this error:
    Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/content/p/o/o/pooface/html/forum/extensions/Statistics/default.php on line 28
    ----------

    On a related HTML note, I have noticed that if <li> lists are not closed off with a </ul> the forum goes spasmodic, some crazy formatting errors appear where the list was inserted.

    Any idea why this is happening? Is it just my forum?

    I am getting an error with this extension installed with the Statistics extension as well. The errors I get are the following:

    Notice: Undefined variable: Head in /home/blah/bleh/blahblahblah/forums/extensions/Statistics/default.php on line 28

    Fatal error: Call to a member function AddStyleSheet() on a non-object in /home/blah/bleh/blahblahblah/forums/extensions/Statistics/default.php on line 28

    any idea regarding these errors?

    They're occuring because other extensions aren't properly checking whether or not a variable exists/is initizialized before using it. For Statistics, see here. You could do more or less the same for the Quicktags extension except with strings 'post.php' and 'comments.php'.

    Basically all you have to do, 3stripe, is somehow make sure all the variables you're going to access actually exist and are initialized. For example, if you're using $Head, then you might want to do something like if(!isset($Head)) return;, or alternately use it when only certain pages are access, eg. if(!in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array('post.php', 'comments.php'))) return;
