Do you have the extra TinyMCE Rich Text Editor installed on your system?

When I test your code, I get a fatal error when the extra TinyMCE Rich Text Editor is installed.
But everything looks ok, if I uninstall the extra TinyMCE Rich Text Editor.

The problem seems to be this line in the code:

github.com

BobRay/newspublisher/blob/159898caa0ce17f63b214bf2d0198bec33f7a7af/core/components/newspublisher/model/newspublisher/newspublisher.class.php#L843


      
          
                      $this->tinyProperties = $tinyProperties;
          
                      /* Fire OnRichTextEditorInit (probably unnecessary) */
                      $fields = array(
                          'editor' => 'TinyMCE',
                          'elements' => '',
                          'forfrontend' => 1,
                      );
          
                      $this->modx->invokeEvent('OnRichTextEditorInit', $fields);
          
                      /* Inject Tiny Source */
                      $this->modx->regClientStartupScript($tinySource);
          
                      /* Inject Tiny configuration chunk */
                      $this->modx->regClientStartupScript($this->strReplaceAssoc($tinyProperties, $this->modx->getChunk($tinyChunk)));
          
                  } /* end if ($richtext) */
          } /* end init */

As the comment above this line states, that it’s “probably unnecessary” to invoke the event, it’s probably ok to just comment out the line.

yes tinymce is installed but it seems to pull it from cde line 818

I did try uncomment it but no luck

Yes Newspublisher loads its own version of the TinyMCE JS library, but when the extra “TinyMCE Rich Text Editor” is installed and Newspublisher invokes the event OnRichTextEditorInit then I get the following error.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function addJavascript() on null in .../core/components/tinymcerte/src/Plugins/Events/OnRichTextEditorInit.php:53

So if commenting out $this->modx->invokeEvent('OnRichTextEditorInit', $fields); doesn’t work, then maybe check the server error log (not the error log from MODX) to see if there gets another error logged.

thanks let me try that and whaever else I can try also battling with the file manager to upload files, the rest works well though

servingpixels · August 10, 2023, 1:49pm

I also tried on a standard stock install
still cant get it to work just blank screen

only error I get in both installs are

[2023-08-10 15:37:31] (ERROR @ /…/core/vendor/xpdo/xpdo/src/xPDO/xPDO.php : 666) Could not load class: modAction from mysql.modaction
[2023-08-10 15:37:31] (ERROR @ /…/core/vendor/xpdo/xpdo/src/xPDO/xPDO.php : 786) modAction::load() is not a valid static method.

maybe its my server or db?

does this work with someone else, RTE on newspublisher?

What versions of MODX, PHP and Newspublisher are you using?

This has to be from another extra (that probably is not compatible with MODX 3).
The current version of Newspublisher doesn’t use modAction.

Did you check the server error log for fatal errors?

When I test it with MODX 3.0.3-pl and Newpublisher 3.1.5-pl, it works.

thanks so much for your reply

I jsut managed to find the issue

I am runnign php8.2

if I have
tinymcerte-2.0.9-pl
or
tinymce-4.3.4-pl

if installed and selected as editor for the manager under System Settings → Editor the newspublisher does not work on front end…
if they are not installed or not selected as editor in “System Settings → Editor” it works in the frontend

would this be a bug?

halftrainedharry · August 10, 2023, 2:43pm

Yes, but isn’t this what I already wrote in my first answer.

servingpixels · August 11, 2023, 6:11am
