- - Want a WYSIWYG detailed description text area? (https://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=7407)

Htmlarea is great, I've been doing this with x-cart for a while! It makes things alot easier for clients... I'm surprised RRF hasn't done this yet.

The paths seem correct!
If you edited to correct files it should work.

Also, what browser and version are you using?

As mentioned in the author's website:
Б─╒ Version 2.03 - IE 5.5+ for Windows only

They have a BETA version 3 out now that should work with IE 5.5+ and most OS.

We are running WinXP and IE 6.

I can view the demo on the developers site but not in my admin area.

Here's the top of my product_modify.tpl

Quote:

<script language="JavaScript1.2" defer>

<script language="javascript">
window.name="prodmodwin";

{include file="main/popup_image_selection_js.tpl"}

{if $product.productid ne ""}
{assign var="last_location" value=$lng.lbl_product_modify}
{else}
{assign var="last_location" value=$lng.lbl_add_product}
{/if}
{ include file="location.tpl" last_location=$last_location }
{capture name=dialog}
<form name="modifyform" action="product_modify.php?productid={$product.pro ductid}" method=post enctype="multipart/form-data">

Anyone see errors that I'm not seeing?

Gold 3.5.3

Randy,
Everything looks fine.
The only thing I can think of now is that the script is not seeing the htmlarea folder.
Try moving it or adjusting _editor_url = "../htmlarea/"; in home.tpl

It seems to work fine initially, then when I try and edit the same product again, it goes back to the normal textarea box, and I get a javascript error.

Something along the lines of

Quote:

Error: 'document.all[...]' is null or not an object

Anyone else experiencing the same?

This will be a godsend if I can get it working properly.

Using x-cart v3.5.2

Phil,
I haven't see that one.

It seems that a couple of pleople are having the same problem but no solution :(

This looks great especially since most of my providers don't have a clue about how to use HTML :D

Don

Word of warning, the latest versions of x-cart will remove the HTML tags in those fields, so the above mod shouldn't be installed on 3.5.6 or above until x-cart allow HTML fields again...

groovico (got it right this time ;) )

I have it running on both a Gold and Pro 3.5.7 stores with no problems.
It seems that the HTML problem does not affect the Detailed Description area!
