I have just installed V3.0 (on DNN V4.8.2) and am having significant problems with field types that access the fckEditor.
It could be a bug, or it may be that I am trying to do something that Dynamic Forms is not capable of doing, but all is far from well. This is what is happening.
On starting to build my first page I added a text/html field and set the Style Sheet to ‘Use Standard DotNetNuke Style Sheet’. In my case I am using my ‘skin.css’ as the dominant css and it is being pulled into the fckEditor via ‘fckstyles.xml’.
This setup works in all the other fckeditor modules on my site. It also returns the available classes to the style combo-box on the fckEditor modules in DynamicForms (eg in the text/html, and text box (header/footer sections). Everything looked OK and initially it worked.
For instance I could create a new text/html field, save it and modify it. I could create other text/html fields and then modify them. I could continue to use fckeditor on other pages without problems.
Then the problem kicked in. With me following the same procedure, the fckEditor decided to no longer allow an Update. I can make changes in the fckEditor (and see the result applied in the editor) but on clk Update Field or Update Field/Exit my page will return without the changes being saved. On going back into edit the changes are gone.
This result is the same inside the Header or Footer of a Text field as well. Changes are not saved. However, this time, the required changes are retained in the editor. It is just that they are not being returned to the parent module.
By the way, all that I am putting in the text/html field is a heading (eg Step 1: Arrival) applying CSS to it (HeadingBox1) and putting a Horizontal Rule beneath it.
Further, whereas I can still create new text/html fields, I can’t change them. S with the long-standing ones, I can make changes to them in the editor with the CSS Style, by using html or by using the other combos. All looks well; I can see the changes being made, but on Update they are not returned (on re-entering Edit they are no longer present.)
What I can do is: change and save details by using the hovering toolbar (?): hover over a text/html label, select Edit, make a change, save. All is well. But, of course, very limited in what can be done)
What I have tried:
- Clearing the cache and refreshing – no good
- doing it over and over again. Lot’s of frustration and lost work. No good.
- exported and then imported a failing module – no good.
- Tried new pages and new modules – no good
- Uninstalled and then reinstalled the complete Dynamic Forms Module.
I am now out of ideas.
So back to my first point. Have I caused a problem by using the skin.css? Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?
I have spent 30 hours on this over the last two days and I would really appreciate some advice.
Many thanks in advance, Gordon
PS There is another problem – it may be related. Changes to the names in the Combo Box won’t save. I can add names, I can delete names, but changes that I make to the names are not saved. (This is not a big issue. The work-around is to delete the one to be changed, then recreate it with the corrections.)
