Error in JS with unknown function at time of unload.

[Phil Collins]

In FCKeditor.body.php there is a javascript condition to remove an event listener. The problem is you are removing a call to a function before the function has been declared. This causes an error in FF.

The original code:

// Remove the mwSetupToolbar onload hook to avoid a JavaScript error with FF.
if ( window.removeEventListener )
	window.removeEventListener( 'load', mwSetupToolbar, false ) ;
else if ( window.detachEvent )
	window.detachEvent( 'onload', mwSetupToolbar ) ;

mwSetupToolbar = function() { return false ; } ;

As you can see the call to define mwSetupToolbar is below the condition to remove the event listener which would call the function. At the time of checking the condition the browser knows nothing of the function.

The amended code:

mwSetupToolbar = function() { return false ; } ;

// Remove the mwSetupToolbar onload hook to avoid a JavaScript error with FF.
if ( window.removeEventListener )
	window.removeEventListener( 'load', mwSetupToolbar, false ) ;
else if ( window.detachEvent )
	window.detachEvent( 'onload', mwSetupToolbar ) ;

The new code produces no errors and now allows the FCKeditor to be built correctly.

Kind regards and many thanks,

Everything seems to work fine on my computer (MW 1.12 + Monobook skin + latest version FCKeditor extension)

After moving mwSetupToolbar code as suggested I get in FF 2.0.0.13:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMNSHTMLTextAreaElement.selectionStart]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: http://127.0.0.1/mw12/skins/common/wikibits.js?116 :: mwSetupToolbar :: line 378"  data: no]
http://127.0.0.1/mw12/skins/common/wikibits.js?116
Line 378

what version of MediaWiki are you using and what skin? What error exactly do you get?

[Phil Collins]

Hi there,

I'm using MediaWiki 1.11.2 with a monobook skin for testing (same error on all other skins) on FF 2.0.0.13. I am running one other extension - TopTenPages but apart from that my install of MediaWiki and FCKEditor is vanilla.

The error I receive if I run the original code is :

mwSetupToolbar is not defined window.removeEventListener( 'load', mwSetupToolbar, false ) ;

This error disappears and the FCKEditor appears in place of the standard MediaWiki editor if the call to define the mwSetupToolbar is placed above the condition within which the eventlistener is removed - as per the amended code.

I receive no errors if I run the amended code.

[Phil Collins]

Oh, and I downloaded the latest build of FKCEditor extension as it was yesterday (02/04)

[Wiktor Walc]

Did you change anything in LocalSettings.php? I tried 1.11.2 with TopTenPages, vanilla 1.10.3, 1.12.0 and everything works fine.

I'm leaving this as opened, because moving that line caused errors on my MediaWiki installation.

There must be something that we are missing here...

One more question: do you see this error whebn you open our Sandbox? ​http://mediawiki.fckeditor.net/Sandbox

[Phil Collins]

I can confirm that I do not see any error when I look at the sandbox.

The changes I have made to the LocalSettings.php (other than the usual sitename, email address etc;) are as follows:

$wgDefaultSkin (we use a modified version of Fratman_enhanced. $wgUseAjax = true; (this was suggested as a possible fix to the issues I was having with the FCKeditor)

then we have the include for the TopTenPages.php extension and the require_once call for the FCKeditor. I have posted the full file below.

Ok, I think I've got it.

Did you add this code by yourself in your skin?

<?php $this->html('headscripts') ?>

It must be placed below this line (with "wikibits.js"):

<script type="<?php $this->text('jsmimetype') ?>" src="<?php $this->text('stylepath' ) ?>/common/wikibits.js"></script>

Expired.
