Hi everyone, Wikibar plugin, is a neat light-weight plugin, which I used to use on a daily basis. (Source: http://aiddlywiki.sourceforge.net/wikibar_demo_2.html)
To my sorrow, the plugin stopped working somewhere from TW core version 2.4.1 It is only half broken, and half functioning, the half that doesn't work, includes a 'preview' function, which to me was critical. (since using server side ccTiddly, all revisions are saved on the server, so it causes exessive store of not needed versions, which can be avoided by using 'preview'). (There is a working example with 2.4.0 version on JLiki page http://www.jgen.ws/jlikiplugins.html) I have tested it again, on plain (empty) TW code, version 2.5.3, and it behaves incorrectly, as follow: 1. The install function, doesn't seem to find the textarea id, so installation of the toolbar goes by default, to the bottom of the tiddler area. Image ref [1] below. Where in correct functionality, the wikibar toolbar, is placed 'Before' (above) the textarea, as shown in Ref link [2] below. Unfortunatly, my knowledge in JS and TW core, is not enough for me to fix the problem. In my attempts to, I think I've tracked the source of the problem to be in a code, that attempts to find the "editorWrapper" variable, or it may be caused by improper initialization of "theTextarea". - on incorrect cases, the 'editorWrapper' variable returns Null. In function wikibar_createWikibar(title) on a call to wikibar_resolveTiddlerEditorWrapper, as follow: --- code --- var editorWrapper = wikibar_resolveTiddlerEditorWrapper(theTextarea); function wikibar_resolveTiddlerEditorWrapper(obj){ if(obj.id=='tiddlerDisplay'){return null;} if((obj.getAttribute && obj.getAttribute('macro')=='edit text')) {return obj;} return wikibar_resolveTiddlerEditorWrapper(obj.parentNode); } ----------- Note the "theTextarea' parameter itself, may not be initiated properly, I'm not sure, it is initiated few lines earlier, by: --- code -- var theTextarea = wikibar_resolveTiddlerEditor(tiddlerWrapper); function wikibar_resolveTiddlerEditor(obj){ if(obj.hasChildNodes()){ var c = obj.childNodes; for(var i=0; i<c.length; i++){ var o=wikibar_resolveTiddlerEditor(c[i]); if(o){ return o;} } } return ((obj.getAttribute && obj.getAttribute('edit')=='text')? obj : null); } --- So, if you got down to hear, I hope one of you could solve the mystery, what had changed on kernel 2.4.1 that prevented this from working, and hopefuly, one of you could suggest a fix to the plugin. Appreciates whatever help I could get. Thanks in advance, YA. p.s. - I'm aware of several alternatived like FCKEditor and WikiEdit, and others, who once do HTML formatting, has also preview capabilities. I've tested few of them. My wish, is still, to get wikibar plugin working !, it still has it's benefits, to my view.
