Ruby Forum Radiant CMS > Radiant 0.6.6 - WYMeditor not working

Is anyone else having trouble with Radiant 0.6.6 and WYMeditor? I'm
getting JavaScript errors on page load that are preventing the WYMeditor
Filter from loading.

My setup...

* running in development mode on 0.6.6 gem
* tested in both existing and new app (new app setup is as follows)
* environment.rb setup is correct:
  config.extensions = [ :shards, :wym_editor_filter, :all ]
* :all = the default Archive, Markdown, Textile
* Shards is fresh from the SVN repository tag 0.6.6
* WYMeditor is fresh from

Firebug says...

prototype.js (line 3484)
element has no properties
var method = element.tagName.toLowerCase();

Anybody else seeing this?

It looks like the issue is 0.6.6 is outputting filter select tags with 
id="part_0_filter_id" while WYMeditor is looking for the old style of 
id="part[0][filter_id]". I've fixed this for Pages and am working on 
Snippets. I'll paste the necessary code changes as a pastie when I'm 
done.

It looks like fixing Snippets compatibility with WYMeditor is a bigger 
issue, so I need to leave that alone for now, sorry.

Here are the code fixes to get WYMeditor back up and editing Pages:

Thanks for the updates. They don't seem to be working yet but I will
need to double check my changes.

Also, you are still using .rhtml. I thought that as Radiant 0.6.6 used
Rails 2 that you would need to use .html.erb.

I grabbed the newest version of WYMeditor and the 0.6.6 tag SVN 
repository version of Shards. Maybe you are using an older version of 
one or the other? Also, the second pastie can either go in the extension 
before the rake task, or in the app's public directory after the rake 
task.

I believe Rails 2 allows for .rhtml for backwards-compatibility, but 
.html.erb is the preferred method going forward.

Tim Blair has handled fixing Snippets in WYMeditor. Check out the 
following for his patch:

Hi,

I updated the extension with David and Tim's patches. The extension is 
now also hosted on github; http://github.com/jomz/wymeditor-for-radiant

do let me know if you encounter any problems with it.
