Found the problem there is nothing wrong with the script the problem is the version of Google chrome on chromebooks.

Tested Firefox, woks
Tested Chrome on my Huawei Mate 10 pro from the app store - Works
Tested Chrome on a Windows 10 PC - works
Tried my chromebook version of Chrome - Blank field.

Time to start nagging google :-)

Cheers!

Well first off thanks for checking Z-Man it is very much appreciated.

What I did was turn off Password Validation. I am also happy to see that you got the editor. I am still seeing a blank field, but I at least I now know that is in my end and not the site, which helps a lot. I think I will go over all the components and as much as possible swap everything out for 5.4 versions if they are there.

On a side note, as you may have noticed I am translating everything into Dutch. I am far from finsihed but you are welcome to the language files

maybe you located the problem in the meantime ... at least I had no issues at your site and was able to create a new blog with the text-editor

Ok, that's a start. And as already expected: A Javascript error.

I talked to Arsalan this morning and he said to have no issues with plain new premium and latest Blogs and TextareaSupport. So it's likely your issue is caused by any other extra component you're running.
Unfortunately these script errors are not easy to track down because - as we see in your case - the real problem already appeares in the PasswordValidation component. Which doesn't mean that PasswordValidation is buggy. Just installed latest version here, giving no issues.

So all I can recommend is running through the circle:

  • check your log
  • disable the mentioned component
  • visit the blog page
  • check your log again
    ... and so on ... until there's no more script error
    this is the only chance isolate the bug

Of course ... in case you did any Javascript modifications yourself ... remove them first.

The console gives me this:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'content_css' of undefined
at add:428
DevTools failed to load SourceMap: Could not parse content for https://urubin.nl/components/PasswordValidation/vendors/underscore-min.map: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

Thanks but blogs are not part of the premium package. I got the Blogs component from here not softlab24. Not sure if they provide suport in such a case?

German Michael Zülsdorff Replied 6 years ago

From your description it looks like the Texteditor's initialization fails due to a Javascript error.

You can try to press F12 to open the browser's developer window, choose the 'console' tab to find red listed errors yourself, or maybe ask for support at Softlab24.

Hello,

I upgraded from 5.2 to 5.4(Premium) and noticed the Blogs component no longer worked. I deleted and reinstalled Blogs and Text Area Support latest version and it works again but without the WYSIWYG editor it used to have. I now only see a blanc text area and when you try to edit a previous blog it shows the HTML code. Is it supposed to be like that, or have I forgotten something?

ahh my apologies since the upgrade i didnt know i was running the component , put it down to lack of concentration via tooth ache, urrgh gona have to have it pulled. thank you very much , keep up the good work. all fixed

Yes James,
that's the message you got from the Private Network component you're running to prevent public viewing your pages. 😲

The solution: add an exception to the second array of components/PrivateNetwork/classes/PrivateNetwork.php to make it look like ...

						array(
						'site/about',
						'site/terms',
						//'u/botox',					// allow this member's profile page
						'blog/view',
					),
