CMS Made Simple Forums

I have been using aceEditor, but now I started working on a site where I can't get Ace to work. It installs nicely, but under "My Preferences" The "AceEditor" part is a bit greyed out. When I click it, I can see a nice AceEditor logo, the tabs "Preferences" and "Frontend Preferences", but the pages are empty, nothing in them!

Also, if I select Ace to be used in editing, for example css, the page looks like the editor is just stripped out ot there.

Anyone else ever run into this problem? Any ideas what settings I can check? AceEditor has worked nicely right "out of the box" before this. At the moment, only access I have to the site is through CMSMS. I have admin rights. CMSMS is version 1.9.4.3. I tried AceEditor versions 0.2.4 and the older 0.2.3.2 through installing via XML file.

In Global Settings AceEditor is enabled as Syntaxhighlighter?
You do have he permissions to use it?

Hmm, I can't find anything related to AceEditor under Global settings... I checked another site where AE is working, and the same thing, no AE under Global settings. In User preferences though, in the part "Select syntax highlighter to use" AE is selected.

Where can I check the permissions?

Oh ok yes i was actually aiming at user preferences, my bad

If you are Admin of the site you should actually see it then, be able to change Ace Preferences....

Else look in "Users & Groups -> Group Permissions" and enable "AceEditor User Preference" for your User group.

I'm in the "Admin" group, and in "Users & Groups -> Group Permissions" the "AceEditor User Preference" is enabled for Admin group. I selected all of the groups just to be sure, but no change.

Now, when I select AceEditor from "My Preferences", all I see is this:


Javascript is turned on in my browser. AE is working on another tab, viewing another site.

Is there any error in the sourcecode of that page?
Maybe something got messed up while installing with ModuleManager, did you try uploading Module directly to modules folder after unpacking .tar.gz package?

I see no error messages at all. The page source just ends all of a sudden, when I assume the AE code should start. The last few markings are:
As for the uploading part, I thought I only have access to the "uploads" directory, but now I see I can see the whole system, nice

I see a warning in the "File Manager" urging me to delete modules/FileManager/postlet directory, so that might be related. I'll try to delete that first and see what happens.

If it stops then it is definately some error, check for php error logs on your server.

Dear Luppa,

This one i didn't encounter yet:

under "My Preferences" The "AceEditor" part is a bit greyed out

- Try hitting Ctrl+F5
- Try clearing your cache (i mean cmsms cache, not browser cache )

This one i did encounter:

Also, if I select Ace to be used in editing, for example css, the page looks like the editor is just stripped out ot there.

I had to change the AceEditor "Theme". (now using the "chrome" theme)
For some reason the default theme doesn't work for me... (behaves just as you described)

Greetings,
Manuel

Manuel are you using latest version?
Just checked Textmate and editing Stylesheet in Chrome worked for me, maybe a browser issue?

Hi Goran,

I don't remember on what website i encoutered it so i just set up a fresh 1.11-beta2 and installed AceEditor.
Everything is working perfectly with the default settings so as far as i'm concerned, the issue seems inreproducable!

Great job on the theme b.t.w.!
I'm also happily surprised about the possibility to just rename the admin directory, clear the cache and voila, done! No more need to change any parameter in the config! Makes everything feel even smoother!

I'll spend some extra time later testing the beta but it sure looks promising!!

@luppa did you try this?

- Try clearing your cache (i mean cmsms cache, not browser cache )

I'll try recreating the issue (tomorrow afternoon) by setting up "cmsms 1.9.4.3. + AceEditor 0.2.4"

Greetings,
Manuel
