wysiwyg not working

[scimmiotto]

Hi, after upgrade to 2.0.2 i noticed that


1. wysiwyg editor is not working anymore. I click con the button to change the editor but nothing happens.
2. when using quote on quick reply, it shows me (loading...) but nothing happens
3. no shout box is working (i've tried ajax chat, smfpacks etc..)...

Just to note that this is, also, being discussed here:

tnx, i forgot that. i'd like to speak here, 'cause here there are all the bugs i found...and yes, i've tried a lot of versions of ajaxchat. Now i fear there's something that doesn't work in the main forum, but i don't know what. I tried using large upgrade but nothing happened (without scripts).

[kat]

OK. You're saying all this, thinking that we'll know what you mean.

Now, it may be me... But, can you clarify some things, for me?

When you say "I tried using large upgrade but nothing happened (without scripts).", what do you mean, exactly?

The upgrade didn't work?

If not, what DID happen? Did you get errors, or what?

When you say "Now i fear there's something that doesn't work in the main forum, but i don't know what.", what makes you think that something doesn't work?

You used the large upgrade. What version of SMF did you upgrade FROM?

[scimmiotto]

ok sorry for my english.

i had the 2.0.1 version of smf, with some packages installed.

i used large upgrade to upgrade the forum to 2.0.2. the i reinstalled the packages.

From here, i noticed these problems. i tried to reinstall using large upgrade to 2.0.2 another time. I upgraded the db with upgrade.php, then i had the forum updated for the second time to 2.0.2. This time i didn't install any package, but the problem still persisted (i tried to make a post with an image, and i saw the img tags. I opened another post, i used the button to convert to wysiwyg and tried to insert and image, having the tag img another time instead of the image on the screen).

tnx in advance.

This is where I hope you read my sig, before doing the upgrade...

To go from v2.0.1 to v 2.0.2, you only needed the small upgrade. I don't think that upgrade touches the database.

If you have that backup, it might be easy.

Restore the backup.

Then, get this: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/downloads/smf_patch_2.0.2.tar.gz

Upload it to Package Manager and apply it, just as you would do with a mod.

If you didn't backup, we'll have to take another route...

K@

for first tnx a lot for your help

i used packages and modifications, and so i used large upgrade. I use smf since 1.1 etc...and i always used this method, and always went ok.

What do u mean for backup? is there any backup that i can do with smf?

Actually, i have the smf 2.0.2 with packages installed.

Whatever anybody else might tell you, backing-up is the most important thing you can ever do with SMF or any website.

http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Backup

When updating from v2.0.1 to 2.0.2, there are no modifications made to the database. So, there's no need to use the large upgrade, at all. If you'd done that, your mods would, most probably, still work!

Tell you what I would do, if that was my forum...

I'd BACKUP, first. (Just in case)

Then, I'd get the SMF v2.0.2 FULL install archive. http://download.simplemachines.org/index.php?thanks;filename=smf_2-0-2_install.zip

I'd dearchive it, on my computer.

I'd upload all of the files, EXCEPT Settings.php AND Install.php, overwriting what you have, there, now.

Then, your forum will be as-new, pretty-well, with all of your members/posts, etc. intact.

Then, you can start installing mods/themes/etc.


That's what I'd do, if I was in your situation.

[scimmiotto]

tnx a lot, i'll do that and i'll let you know what will happen

tnx a lot for your help

[kat]

A pleasure, matey!

Remember that backup thing, won't you?

[scimmiotto]

for backup u mean to backup all the content of my ftp in local pc? if so, i didn't

[kat]

You can do it via FTP or from your CPanel.

The most important thing to save is the database. That's where all your members/posts/etc. are stored.

But, backing-up the forum, itself, can save you a LOT of work, in the future.

all was made...wysiwyg not working anymore

[scimmiotto]

and with quick reply it goes on loading forever

[kat]

Seriously, mate. The WYSIWYG editor's crap. It's AWFUL! It's going to be replaced in the next version of SMF.

Disable it.

That'll put the Quick Reply right, too.

[scimmiotto]

ok but even if disable wysiwyg i have the following bugs

1. shoutbox not writing phrases
2. quick quote goes loading forever

i fear this is linked to the problem of wysiwyg

[kat]

Which shoutbox do you use? The Ajax one?

Have a look through it's support topic, to see if anyone else has had this problem?

[scimmiotto]

noone had this problem

i think it's linked to wysiwyg one.


even if i use smfpack shout box or ajax chat, they both don't work.

and quote on quick reply still persists.

[kat]

I disabled the shoutbox and it's still very slow.

Why have two shoutboxes, though? That'll slow things down, a lot!

[scimmiotto]

i inserted two shout box because with nneonneo one we can speak, with the second we can try
