WYSIWYG Editor

At the minute, whenever the icon to product the WYSIWYG editor is clicked upon, the editor opens, but doesn't contain the html that is saved in the category description field (for example) that it is associated with..

Is this normal??

If the category description field contains already saved HTML then it should load it. What is your AbleCommerce version and browser.

It's quite possibly one of the most annoying things I deal with every day. Since all of our work is done on Macs we do not use any version of IE. I end up doing some of my work in Firefox 3 and some of my work in Safari 3 because of this problem. Happened in Firefox 2 as well. Safari has not had this issue at all.

AC7 version info:
PLATFORM: ASP.NET
VERSION: 7.0
BUILD: 10863

There may be some problem on FF3. Either use it with FF2 or use IE.

Had the exact same problem using FF2.

IE is not an option for us on the Mac OS.

What we end up doing using FF3 is to copy the html first then past it into the WYSIWYG. Or we use Safari 3. Either way, it's a pain in the a**.

Well FF2 worked for us. May be its something specific to FF for mac version. Have you installed any FF2 extensions may be something goes wrong due to some extension.

No extensions have been installed. Our installation of FF2 and FF3 were straight forward with no extras.

In Windows, this seems to be specific for FF3/AC7 it works fine in IE.

Ditto on the fF3/AC7 problem. I just started researching it for a client.

I looked at the FCKEditor site and it's supposed to be compatible with FF3. It seems to be a one-way problem in Able. It will save content back, but won't pull existing content.
It does work in Safari on Windows and IE.

Also works fine in Safari on the Mac. Still no go in any build of FF3 on the Mac.

Not working in Firefox 3 for me either. IE is fine.

This was listed as bug 7853. It has already been repaired for an upcoming release. However the Mac issue is an interesting twist. Anyone here want to try this patch?

Make a backup of your existing Admin/Utility/EditHtml.aspx file, then put the attached one (unzip first) in place of the old. This has some updated javascript to deal with FireFox 3. I would be interestd to get confirmation that this also works with Mac FF3.

I'll try it on the Mac a bit later this afternoon and will report back with my findings.

Just dl'd the patch and dropped it into Admin/Utility/ after backing up my original file and...

Thanks guys. You Rock!

We found that the background color bled through as well and here is what we did:

Find the File in the folder FCKeditor called fckconfig.js

In the file: change from

Code: Select all

 FCKConfig.EditorAreaStyles = "";

TO

Code: Select all

FCKConfig.EditorAreaStyles = "html{background:#FFFFFF;}";

and voila! the background cannot bleed through.

You can now set the background color not only white but to the actual color of the background color you skinned your site in with.

Have a great day!
