    • Active Forums Version: 4.3.5
    • DotNetNuke Version: 5.6.2
    I've searched the forums, and found people were having issues with unauthenticated users a couple of years ago with older versions.

    My problem: Clicking "Preview" before submitting a forum post does absolutely nothing.

    DNN 5.6.5
    AF: 4.3.07

    Has anyone had this issue? There's nothing else on the page so I can't figure out what would be causing a conflict.

    Thanks!

    Does this only happen with unauthenticated users?

    Hi Ben, thanks for such a fast reply.

    No, this happened to me while logged in as "admin" - not "host"

    I guess I should have tested other scenarios. I'll try a regular user account really quick.

    The preview button works on this site right? If not, what browser are you using?

    No sir.. it's happening across the board. Just doesn't work. I'm trying to debug in Firefox and Chrome using inspection tools and can't find any JS conflict.

    Yes it works on this site.
    I've tested with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, but not IE. 

    Can I PM you a link?

    Also, I haven't done any unique customization at all. It's basically the bare bones AF with standard settings.

    Yes you can PM me.

    It is working for me here, in Chrome.

    Looks like there is a javascript error.

    "Cannot call method 'get_html' of null"

    I will need to investigate this.

    To update this thread in the event that others run into a similar issue. I'm using a custom rad editor / telerik controls that is apparently conflicting with the forums when rich text editor is allowed.

    I'm going to switch it from the DNN rich text to the Active Forums rich text to see if it functions the way I need it to.

    And.. to update immediately.. Unless there's a way to add additional controls other than bold, italic, and underline.. it isn't going to work. And remove the HTML tab.

    Back to the drawing board!

    There are additional options that can be added to the Active Editor, but it is certainly not as full featured as the RadEditor.

    The following options can be added to the "Toolbar" input one the same popup where you select the HTML editor.

     ParagraphMenu, FontFacesMenu, FontSizesMenu, FontForeColorsMenu, 
     FontForeColorPicker, FontBackColorsMenu, FontBackColorPicker, Bold, Italic, Underline,
     Strikethrough, Superscript, Subscript, InsertImageFromGallery, CreateLink, Unlink, 
     RemoveFormat, JustifyLeft, JustifyRight, JustifyCenter, JustifyFull, BulletedList, 
     NumberedList, Indent, Outdent, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Undo, Redo, Print, Save, 
     ieSpellCheck, StyleMenu, SymbolsMenu, InsertHtmlMenu, InsertRule, InsertDate, 
     InsertTime, WordClean, InsertImage, InsertTable, EditTable, InsertTableRowBefore, 
     InsertTableRowAfter, DeleteTableRow, InsertTableColumnBefore, InsertTableColumnAfter, 
     DeleteTableColumn, InsertForm, InsertForm, InsertTextBox, InsertTextArea, 
     InsertRadioButton, InsertCheckBox, InsertDropDownList, InsertButton, InsertDiv, 
     InsertImageFromGallery, Preview, SelectAll, EditStyle

    Disclaimer, not all options are supported.

    I am still working on getting the rad editor issue by the way.

    Thank you Ben. This is definitely helpful, but yeah.. would much rather use the Rad Editor.
