I have some problem and I cannot work it over.

The problem is in Rich text editor in Web Wiz Forum version 7.9. I have RTE enabled and when I want to post new topic - when I go to post_message form.asp, the site opens normally and there is the Rich text editor with all the buttons. But almost all javascript buttons (bold, italic, underline, text colour, cut, copy, paste, all smileys...) are not working. When I click on them, nothing happens, so I cannot edit my text. Only 2 buttons are working (Add image and About Rich Text Editor). Nothing else. Also, I am able to post the message. So there is only a problem with editing text, nothing else. When the post_message_form.asp opens and I go over the text box with mouse pointer, the browser gives me an error message (yellowish error icon - triangle with exclamation mark in the middle - in the left bottom corner) that there is an expected object in line 179.

I really don't know what is the problem. Please help me, because now the RTE on my forum is almost useless.

Sounds like you have either a corrupted file, in which case reupload all the files again, or if you are using a free web host then you need to download the Lite version of the forum as it has an adapted RTE to work with free web hosts.

There are other posts on this issue so please search the forum if these sugestions do not help.

Hi!

I have the same problem that marion reported with the same version (7.9).

I re-uploaded the files again, without any success.

To check if it was a problem with the hosting (it's not a free web host!), I downloaded Web Wiz Rich Text Editor release v1.2c and it ran without problems!

So, the problem isn't in the host!

What do you advice to do next?

 

Thanks in advance,

Richard

The javascript file on your site for the RTE is not owrking and giving the following error:-

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'

Variable is undefined: 'strMainForumName'

/forum/language_files/language_file_inc.asp, line 523

This means that the language file you are using has some errors in it. If you downloaded the language file from elsewhere try contacting the person who wrote the language file about this problem.

Or try and find where is has 'strMainForumName' in the 'language_files/language_file_inc.asp' file and remove it as it should not be in there.

It worked!!!!

Thanks for all!

Just one more thing: how did you get that error message? My IE doesn't give me that!

It was the masterpiece to debug the error!

I don't use IE as it is a horrible buggy browser, it's just popular becuase it comes with windows and MS try to forsce us to use it.

Try http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ - http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/, it's a much better browser.

It also has a good built in JS Console for debugging.

If it's an identical error as above:-

Variable is undefined: 'strMainForumName'

Then this means that the language file you are using is not compatible with the version of the forum you are using, or you have a corrupted file.

Try reuploading all original forum files again to the server to see if that resolves the situation.
