Rich Text Box not showing

Permalink
Hi,

Was wondering if someone could help, I have a site running the latest 5.7 release (5.7.4.2) and when I add a new content block to the site the rich text box tools don't show up, so I can add text but no controls so I can't save.

There is a workaround by inspecting the text box element it has a hidden submit box which can be used to save, and then editing the block brings up the full controls so I can save.

Anyone else had this issue?

Hi Plexis,

Are you using a custom theme?

If you are using a custom theme, if you switch to the default Elemental theme, does the problem go away?

I just tried switching to Elemental - it made no difference and still shows the plain textarea.

Strangely, the behaviour has inexplicably resolved itself. I have a feeling that it could be to do with the browser caching the old javascript versions bundled with 5.7.3.1 (which I upgraded from) and once I'd opened the network tab in firebug, just to check that was getting all of the required scripts it seemed to work.

I get this too, on the same version. The page shows a textarea input box with a regular form submit button (hidden by element declared style attribute). I wondered if my css was interfering with this new version but it isn't.
There are no console errors thrown in firebug, however the website error log (apache) shows this when I entered the dashboard to check the configuration for the text editor (probably unrelated):
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Concrete\\Core\\Application\\Service\\UserInterface\\Help::disableThisHelpNotification() in /var/www/concrete/concrete5.7.4.2/concrete/tools/help/dismiss.php on line 10, referer:http://mywebsiteurl.com/index.php/dashboard/system/basics/editor...
