Preview Ext? vs HTML

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?
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    I haven't tried it again recently. SirNot - did you update and reupload to the addons site?
  • 0bvious0bvious
    Haven't seen SirNot on here lately...

    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.
  • NickENickE New
    Double line breaks? Does that happen for all the format types or just certain ones?
  • erissivaerissiva
    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.
  • NickENickE New
    Alright, should be fixed now.
  • erissivaerissiva
    SirNot - Perfect.
    Indeed, you are a mad-person for updating everything so quickly. ;)

    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
  • RoguefoxxRoguefoxx
    any idea regarding these errors?
  • NickENickE New
    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'.
  • RoguefoxxRoguefoxx
    Thanks SirNot, that worked perfectly.

    Hmm I have some work to do then. If anyone one want to spell it out to me I'll upload a new Quicktags thingie tomorrow.
  • 0bvious0bvious
    Sweet stuff SIrNot, thanks a lot

    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;
