Hello Team,

 

I am using the simple-press plugin in wordpress-buddypress and when I am using TinyMCE editor formatting buttons like B,I and U are not working well however if I add directly from HTML it is working fine.

 

Can anyone help me to come out of this.

Is there any chance of me be able to post on yor site. Well – I don’t need to actually post but could do with getting access to the editor so I can see what is happening more clearly.

If so, and if we need an account – please PM credentials to both myself and to ‘Mr Papa’. Please include in the PM a link to your site, a link to this thread and brief reminder of the problem. And one of us will take a look for you.

Can you give me any specific things to try as it all seems to be working as expected for me…

Thanks @Yellow Swordfish

I’ll get my developer to come back to you on this – his recent correspondence with me is pasted below. From my point (non-developer; site owner) all I want is formatting ability; I don’t mind which one…just something that works. This is link to my own testing of TinyMCE.

Thanks

Ps. Im not sure if it is in any way related, but the stats are also way off (there are hundreds of members registered & more than 2 topics/posts!)

@ Simplepress jQuery conflict.

– In this bug I have spent a lot time but there is problem related to editor itself.

– It is showing the effect of formatting buttons in editor but when we get the content of editor using TinyMCE’s functions at that time it is not returning the exact content.

– Please see the attached screenshot (http://screencast.com/t/paW4K0SMQkU3), in that case I have logged the content into the console and it shown that editor is not returning the exact content there is no error related to jQuery and it can not be solved.

Weird.
Is there any chance you could briefly reactivate the tinyMCE editor so I can take another look now I understand what to look for? I still have the login active that you gave me…

that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks 🙂

 

DONE

(I’ll also keep an eye on forum for your reply……I can also activate one of the Quicktags one after as they are also both installed)

I can’t actually get to your site at the moment – the connection is timing out. But I willl keep trying.

Ok I can get back in but things have changed. There is a whole lot of new javascript being loaded including a bad custom jquery Ui stuff being loaded by the theme. This wasn’t here yesterday…

hmmmm…..I’ll have to leave this to my developer to reply as, although I know “stuff” has been done…..I do not know what.

 

When you say “bad” what do you mean?

 

Thanks

There is a block of code (that was not there yesterday) that includes these lines:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.socialots.co.uk/wp-content/themes/socialots/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.socialots.co.uk/wp-content/themes/socialots/jquery.ui.core.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.socialots.co.uk/wp-content/themes/socialots/jquery.ui.datepicker.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.socialots.co.uk/wp-content/themes/socialots/jquery.ui.widget.js"></script>

With the exception of the datapicker – these libraries have already been loaded AND loaded correctly from the WP includes folder using the WP API. This code obvioulsy does neither – just walks roughshod over everything else loading dubious duplicates from invalid sources.

It would be good to get to the bottom of both this and the stats issue (don’t let us forget that one). First task however, get the site back to working as it should with all the correct scripts.

Thanks – Im going to post it in the “Customization Requests” section as my developers dont seem to have made any progress in resolving it (formatting plugin – TinyMce or the others).
