Nuke 7.9 with proper updates

I've tried it with the WYSIWYG off and on, doesn't matter, the following validation error happens every time (preview and submit)

Code:

THE FOLLOWING FIELDS FAILED VALIDATION:

Newsletter Text: Required field must be given a value

I am ensuring that there is something in the text field... Any ideas?

Thanks.

This add-on is for nuke 6.5 - 7.6 only as mentioned in the download details and readme. It is not designed to work with anything above 7.6 because version above 7.6 are too bug ridden and insecure. It is a personal choice that I had to make. The integration that was done by FB with the TinyMCE editor opened up way too many security holes.

Sorry.

Wait a minute... you had this working with HNL 1.2 on 7.9? How did you get that to work?

By the way, the "Use WYSIWYG" editor switch is for nukeWYSIWYG only and so is not designed to work with TinyMCE. So, the only way it would even have a chance of working is with this flag unchecked.

I'm actually running a bundled nuke from http://www.max.pcnuke.com/ and downloaded 1.2 from their site... maybe they tweaked 1.2 to work with 7.9. I'll uninstall 1.3 and go back.

It doesn't make sense to me that it worked in 1.2 and not in 1.3. I downloaded the HNL1.2 installation from pc-nuke and it is identical to my original distribution.

What you could try is finding this comment line within script: modules/HTML_Newsletter/admin/admin.php.

//Newsletter Body

Then find the following lines:

Code:

echo "<tr ${msnl_asCSS['TR_top']}>\n";
echo "<td colspan=\"2\">\n";
echo "<textarea name='msnl_textbody' cols='100' rows='".$msnl_gasModCfg['wysiwyg_rows']."'>";
echo stripslashes( $_POST['msnl_textbody'] )."</textarea>\n";
echo "</td>\n</tr>\n";
echo "</table>\n";

And replace with these:

Code:

echo "</table>\n";
echo "<textarea name='msnl_textbody' cols='100' rows='".$msnl_gasModCfg['wysiwyg_rows']."'>";
echo stripslashes( $_POST['msnl_textbody'] )."</textarea>\n";

I am wondering if the core nuke 7.9 TinyMCE implementation does not work right with tables?

I removed 1.3 completely, and reinstalled. Tried sending, and received the same validation error above... then made your suggested changes, and got the same validation error. I also noted I couldn't add a category because it didn't see the category description I entered.

I removed 1.3 completely and reinstalled 1.2, I am now able to add categories and can create a newsletter. I haven't been through everything yet, but it seems to work.

If you'd like when I make it public I'll send the URL so you can see.

I am not sure what you mean by "because it didn't see the category description I entered". When you used the "Add Category" function, entered the requested information and then saved, are you saying you did not see it when you looked at the category list again?

Try setting your display errors to "True" and try to save a new category again and see if you get any errors. I would be really surprised that you are getting an error because I am trapping just about every SQL call, but this is bugging me...

I have released a patch to 1.3.0. Not sure if you ever got it all working?

chuckcal, can you please let me know if you got it working with the 01.03.01 version? Thanks.

For those working with 7.9 the above ref error can be worked around by inserting 3 to 5 blank lines at the beg of the newsletter body text and also at the end. Sometimes you can insert them and then delete a couple and get the same results. This is currently working for me without any problems.

Also...don't click preview....click send and directly send admin copy first. If you need to edit your html do it outside tiny editor and copy and paste. For some reason the preview option has issues...
