Info: Serendipity .8.2 with PHP 5.0.4

Hi all,
There is a whole gang of people at the Minds society in Ireland that use s9y, and firstly I just want to say thanks for developing it. It is an excellent product. We recommend it to new users as the best blog-tool going.

Anyways, I recently updated from .7 to .8.2 and everything seemed to go okay ( I got some permission errors, but the blog still works fine) What seems to have broken is
1) My WYSIWYG editor now gives a litany of errors

When I go to post/edit with WYSIWYG enabled, I get errors in the following order, all in JS Popups...

1) [Error]Create Select Cannot Find Drop Down Definition

2) FIXME: Unknown Toolbar Item ordered list
3) [Error]Create Select Cannot Find Drop Down Definition

4) FIXME: Unknown Toolbar Item ordered list

Any ideas with this one?

2) I can no longer see article previews.

Basically , when I click Preview, I get green text saying "Serendipity is now creating the preview of your entry..."
below it what appears to be an iFrame with a dark navy border that has no contents.

Is there a simple explanation for these, or should I try another upgrade?

1. Please update your browser's cache. The htmlarea component has been updated, and it seems your old version is still cached in some parts.

About the preview, I don't really know what could be the problem. Which template are you using? Which event plugins are you using? Which browser? It will most likely depend on your template's CSS code...if you can send me the HTML soureccode of your iframe contents plus your template's CSS I can try to debug that...

Best regards,
Garvin

Re: WYSIWYG
Spot on. That fixed that. I'll add it to our update guide, thanks.

Re: Previews.

Code: Select all

<div class="serendipityAdminMsgSuccess">Serendipity is now creating the preview of your entry...</div><br><iframe style="border: 0pt none ; height: 22px;" src="serendipity_admin.php?serendipity%5Bis_iframe%5D=true&serendipity%5Biframe_mode%5D=preview" id="serendipity_iframe" name="serendipity_iframe" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" title="Serendipity" frameborder="0" height="300" scrolling="no" width="100%">Your
browser does not support the concept of iframes. Please open your
serendipity_config.inc.php file and set $serendipity['use_iframe']
variable to FALSE.</iframe><br><br>        <form action="?" method="post" id="serendipityEntry" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;">

CSS is here...
http://www.minds.may.ie/~dez/serendipit ... _admin.css
( I haven't changed the CSS file at all by the way)

The browser is Firefox.
I was thinking for a while it could be the Adblock plugin that prevent iframes from appearing, but it happens in IE also.

If I follow instructions and change the use frames to false; , I just see nothing.

Thanks for your time Garvin.

Great about the WYSIWYG issue. But I don'T really understand the iframe problem.

Would it be possible to give me an author account on your blog so that I could try it out?

Regards

Okay, I've noticed another slightly odd issue that may be related.

The blog is here:
http://minds.nuim.ie/~dez/serendipity/

As you can see, everything appears fine on that page, but when I click on a title of a post, I get a blank page. e.g. the following appears blank for me...
http://www.minds.may.ie/~dez/serendipit ... -test.html

I'll make you a guest account, how should I send it to you?

[Update]

All issues fixed. Thanks Garvin, it turned out to be a permissions issue.
