• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

TinyMCE Editor not working for textarea element

Hi there,

It seems I have a problem by using TinyMCE Editor in frontend for a textarea element.

The Editor is actually visible on frontend, but I cannot enter any text and the editor is also not showing anything once I switch off the editor, enter any Tag (e. g. <p>This is a test</p>) and switch it then on again. The editor is always empty. I thought there might be any issue with access, but when I logon as super user the issue still appears.

Any idea what the problem could cause?

Many thanks in advance

Sven
 
Any javascript errors on broswer console?

Generally, I have found JCE-editor to be much more reliable.
 
Hi, I'm having the same problem too. I have a JCE Pro license but the problem seems to be with Fabrik because it also occurs with other editors like TinyMCE. I found that the problem occurs when the textarea element, is in a Pagination group - multi page forms. If I disable Pagination - multi page forms, everything works fine. I also discovered that if I set the group to become repeatable by pressing the + button, the second element works correctly, the third works too and so on. Only the first is blocked and there is no way to make it work. Has anyone encountered this problem?
 
Small update: setting the default Protostar template, the situation does not change. I'm currently using Gantry's Helium.

Thank you.
 
No issues here with JCE Pro 2.9.1, neither with multipage forms or in repeat group. Also using Helix template. Any js errors in browser console?
 
Unfortunately I don't detect anything significant.

The weird thing is that if I select the code panel, it works fine.
 
Just a guess, but try removing most of the controls-icons from the JCE profile you are using. And disable all editor button plugins and see if it makes any difference.
 
Maybe it works if you at
Renders Text Area tab advanced
Turn on WYSIWYG Editor and Extended buttons

I did some testing on another site, a completely different setup. Same behavior when enabling pagination. Textarea fields with WYSIWYG editor, regardless of field settings and template used, editor mode is not usable while code mode works fine.
 
We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
