Tricks of the trade

I am editing this file with a firefox 3 browser. I take it the pbwiki people figured out how to adapt to the new browser.

 

********

 

Inserting images and files is over in the right hand panel rather than in the toolbar for the editor. Click on pages or on images and files. When you click on images and files a list of files appears.

 

*******

 

You can get back to the homepage of the wiki by clicking on the YouTube image at the top-left of the 'page.'

 

*******

 

You can do a word cloud by copying text into the program at wordle.net/. You can adjust the font, the color, and vertical versus horizontal setting.

 

*******

 

Getting an image into the wiki requires that you first upload it file the "Images and files" link in the right sidebar. 

 

*******

 

Either using Internet Explorer as the browser or they have 'fixed' something would let me edit pages. With two differenct versions of Firefox I could not seem to get the editor displayed for editing.

 

See below for the 'answer.' I am happy to know that it was them rather than me. If you have problems getting to the editor instead of a blank page this may be some consolation.

Edit Page is Blank

I am unable to edit existing pages or create new pages. The in-page editor is missing - it's just blank. The title at the top of the page is there, as are the Save & Cancel buttons at the bottom. The page warns me when I try to navigate away, reminding me I have unsaved changes, but there is just no editor.

I think it is a JavaScript error, but I'm not sure which end its on (browser or server).

I am using Firefox 3. The JavaScript error console reports:

Error: FCKeditorAPI is undefined

Line: 128

Can anyone help?

Hi there,

This is an issue between the FCKeditor that we use in PBwiki (it's how you edit your pages) and Firefox 3.

We're looking into it now, but in the meantime, refreshing the page a few times seems to load the page properly.

Thanks for your patience!

hoping we get this fixed soon! I'm hoping we get this fixed soon!

No worries. Just knowing it's an issue with FCKeditor and Firefox 3 helped - I did a little investigation myself and found that clearing Firefox's cache seems to help clear up the problem.

Hopefully this will help anyone else having the problem until a permanent fix is found!
