TinyMCE not showing in extra About items [FIXED]

[ramon]

Hello all,

Not sure if this is also happening in OJS, since I haven't tested.
I searched the forum, PKP Google, but nothing matched this issue.
When adding more than just one extra item in the About page (Step 1 of Conference setup), the new added fields do not display the TinyMCE editor in the textarea, which is odd.
Anyone with this issue yet?
I'll fiddle with TinyMCE configuration to see if that helps.
I'm using OCS 2.1.2.1

Hi Ramon,

I can't track the bugfix down for this either; but it does seem to be fixed in 2.3. If it's imperative for you to have the TinyMCE box working in 2.1.2, let me know and I'll pass this on to the devs.

Cheers,
James

Hello James,

Sorry for the late reply.
Yes I'd like to solve this for our OCS installation, as we will have to downgrade.
2.3 has shown a MySQL error which we don't know how to fix.

Code: Select all

DB Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ASC LIMIT 0,25' at line 1

Hi Ramon,

You can try applying the patch at http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4830. If it doesn't apply cleanly, you should be able to make the modification by hand pretty easily.

Cheers,
Matt

Hello James,

I'm not sure if anyone tried to apply the patch before me, but this is what was on the code:
Previous code:

Code: Select all

$count = max(1, count($templateMgr->get_template_vars('customAboutItems')));
for ($i=0; $i<$count; $i++) {
  $fields[] = "customAboutItems-$i-content";
}


After I applied the patch, the following are the related PHP errors in the log (I think, since I had commented the previous code and added the patch lines, the line numbers will differ):

Code: Select all

Hello James,

This is the correct code for OCS 2.1.2.1, in plugins/generic/tinymce/TinyMCEPlugin.inc.php:

Code: Select all

$customAboutItems = $templateMgr->get_template_vars('customAboutItems');
$count = max(1, isset($customAboutItems[$formLocale])?count($customAboutItems[$formLocale]):0);
for ($i=0; $i<$count; $i++) {
   $fields[] = "customAboutItems-$i-content";
}
