Insert module call with params - is it broken?

Post by tonyg »

Hi, I am using "1.0.2 Maui" and the Insert Module calls via the FCKEditor all fail if there are parameters specified.

The error is at Line 62, Char 13 of fck_cmsmodules.php, with error code "object required".

Line 62 seems to be blank, but I suspect the problem is with the call to "cmbModules".

Is anyone working on this bug? It's very annoying.

PS: I note that this has been logged as "[#906] Insert Modules Call does not work for modules that have parameters" in the dev forum. It was submitted by Elijah back in August and was looked at by Maksbud in September, then followed up by Dick Ittman again in early September, but is not currently allocated to anyone. So I ask again, is there a fix for this?

Hi,

Nobody is working on it afaik. At the time (september) I mentioned the issue on the IRC channel, but iirc got the response the insert module call functionality was too broken to fix and the button should probably be removed, also FCKEditor is to be replaced by TinyMCE in the near future.

It is broken indeed (as I heard).

But do you care? When do you need to insert modules to a page? I only used this feature when setting up websites. And once the site was up and running, I didn't care anymore.

Regular editors of a website should only use the basic features of the wysiwyg-editor.

It serves one very important purpose - and that is as the only place where there is decent 'documentation' (in the form of example fields) for the module parameters. Once I figured that out, I could write module calls easily. But reading the doco and the wiki, I was still lost about how to use the parameters.
