The advanced editor is not showing up. #23

Open Megalomaniak opened 5 years ago

Megalomaniak commented 5 years ago

I just disabled the rich editor on my localhost, however the advanced editor is not showing up, just a plain text area and no buttons for formatting or anything. Trying to preview the message gives a invisible error message(white text on white background). Might have to open an issue to track it and try and fix that then.

OK, managed to get one additional error message to show up on preview(this one was visible): JSON could not be converted into quill operations. text text text

OK, it was pretty simple:

In dashboard under Settings > Posting changed entries from text to markdown. Fix was simple as that. Will leave this open though since it might be useful later.

Also worth noting that there is a setting there: Enable link embeds in discussions and comments. Might be related to why the link embeds from the old/live forum came in broken when migrated to the newer vanilla install that had rich editor enabled perhaps.

Defiantly good to keep this open for reference!

When I changed from the Rich Editor to the Advance editor it didn't seem to have any issues. That said, I don't think I made any actual posts with the Rich editor, so that might explain it. Regardless, this is defiantly good to know!

That makes sense. Do you know if enabling the setting fixes the issue? I tested on my localhost test server and it seems embedded links are working, so maybe enabling that setting fixes the embedded links issue.
