    Hi Samuel, the editor only works on H1 elements in my project? Also whenever I change the H1 to let's say for example a p and I try to edit it again I can't select it anymore.

    How can I fix this?

    Hey, thanks for review! Do you getting any errors in browser console? If you find anything more you can create issue in github repository.

  • Found the plugin useful on 31 Mar, 2020

    It's kinda bug report, I got few themes on my website, with different content, and sometimes, this plugin loads text not from a active theme, so, that causing a lot of misunderstanding. And, second one, even if fixture="span", sometimes text appears as "p" tag, that's not good at all. But still, 4/5, good work.

    Hey, if you switch themes you should clear cache plugin automatically caches similar content names.

    If you having more issues please make issue on github. Thanks!

    Plugin is very useful and easy to use, works great

    Can you have more than one contenteditor on each partial? im getting an ajax issue when using contenteditor with a different alias

    AJAX handler 'contenteditor2::onSave' was not found

    Thanks

    Hey, thanks for review!

    Yes, you can have multiple on page but not in partials because they are limited from ocms as you can see here in docs: http://octobercms.com/docs/cms/partials#life-cycle-limitations

    An absolutely awesome plugin - ? Thank you Samuell

    Awesome tool. My CMS is now better than ever. Thanks a lot.

  • Found the plugin useful on 27 Jun, 2019

    Thanks for this nice plugin! To the users with saving problems: I found the "problem" with the spinning wheel while saving: It's because Bootstrap includes the SLIM version of jQuery. And only the first jquery script will load. So you need to change the jQuery version and it will work.

    Hey Samuell, thank you for this great plugin, I'm really enjoying it and I will roll it out to my clients soon. I was wondering, is it possible to add paragraphs at existing texts and how should is do so? I got this paragraph buttons in the toolbar, but it's always grayed out.

    Replied on 6 May, 2019

    Hey, Thanks! Paragraphs should be automatically added if you press enter.

    Hey, this looks like you missing framework scripts in layout.

  • Found the plugin useful on 21 Feb, 2019

    I included {% framework %}, {% scripts %} and {% styles %} to my lay-out and the content does get loaded. But the editor fails to initiate:

    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'insertBefore' of null at c.mount (content-tools.min.js:6) at c.init (content-tools.min.js:6) at contenteditor.js:5

    Hey, this looks like something is not loaded correctly or other script is changing something in content tools.

    If your issue is still there please make new report at github respository with more reproduction informations or reproduction repository. https://github.com/Samuell1/contenteditor-plugin/issues

    Thanks!

    Love plugin! It's very useful! Could you please check my issue? - https://github.com/Samuell1/contenteditor/issues/64

    Can't get it work inside partials, but it works fine if I put component in page or layout.

  • Found the plugin useful on 25 Apr, 2018

    Looks like it could work well but is unclear how to get this to actually work properly. I managed to get the content editor showing up on the page but whenever I clicked the green 'tick' button to confirm an edit it would hang on the spinning grey cog and never save. It would be great if there was a short video demonstrating what to do - from installing to making some edits and saving.

    Hey, this can be because something is missing or is a bug. Can you check browser console for errors? If you find any issue, bug you can report issue at github repository.

    The plugin does not save any changes. Each time stops at the icon and no result. Everything was done according to the documentation. {% component 'contenteditor' file="text.htm" %} {% framework%} {% scripts %} {% styles %} How can I contact you to solve the problem?

  • Found the plugin useful on 12 Jun, 2017

    Great plugin! But I got a problem. When entering edit mode on front-end I see only short version of edit tools with only undo-redo and trash buttons. Whole tools appear only when I make cursor focused on some paragraph element. But it doesn't help when I focus on a table. So if there is only table in current page I can't see full tools list. http://prntscr.com/fiyl5f

    Hey Samuell! Thank you very much for this great plugin! Saved me a lot of timeI A really great plugin, fast communication and valuable advice from the creator. Thank you very much agan!

  • Found the plugin useful on 22 Feb, 2017

    I love this plugin, but I'm having some trouble using it with the Multi template (https://octobercms.com/theme/jtherczeg-multi). That template has the relevant "page" info on the layout/defaults.htm file instead of the pages/home.htm file, and uses Partial files along with Content files (instead of just Content files). Is there a way to use this plugin with the Multi template (replace Partials AND Content with the Component tag, not just Content), or would I have to rearrange/restructure the Multi template (so it's more similar to the demo template) to get it to work? Thanks in advance.

    Hey Samuell! Thank you very much for this great plugin! I see that you just released v1.0.3 and that you added code for auto creating a content file if it does not exist. Is it also possible to create a localized file? For example I create the website in english (default language) and create a content file called intro.htm. Let's say that I add german as second language later on. Does the plugin already provide the possibility to auto-create a localized content file for the active locale or can it be implemented easily? Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Replied on 10 Nov, 2016

    Thanks! Yes plugin supports rainlab translate plugin. If you switch to other language and save, then new file will be created intro.en.htm

    Great alternative to the editable plugin. However, I can't make image upload to work (I see the popup, but when I choose an image in my hard drive, the upload don't work).

    Hope to see the 1.3 soon as announced features are really exciting.

    Nice plugin. but for now it is only usable for simple texts. if there exist a few <divs> in the html markup then you cant edit this part of content. (ex. a simple bootstrap row & col div)
