Details editing area conflicting with cforms

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I’m having problems with the event details editing area. When I load the event editing page in my WordPress admin site, the text field seems to have no text. After some investigating, I found out that the text color of the textarea was set to white (see screenshots below).

An even more serious problem is that the Visual editor is not working at all. Sometimes I can get the HTML tab working and showing my content, but after clicking the tabs a couple of times the editing area disappears completely. When looking at the console there are a couple of JavaScript errors (see picture below).

Sometimes when I load the event editing page I get a JavaScript error from a cforms plugin file. So I deactivated cforms and all my problems went away.

I’m running WordPress 3.0.1 and I have cforms version 11.5 and Events Manager Extended version 3.1.1.

Could you see if the conflicts caused by cforms could be solved? Unfortunately not using cforms is not a possibility since we have a large application form made with cforms already in use. You can download cforms from http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-plugin/

Well, I’m busy making it compatible with qtranslate, so I’ll see what I can do for cforms …

But this is not really a bug, so moving this to feature requests

Well, I found the description of the root cause here:

and I found a setting in cforms that resolves this:

in cformsII => Global Settings => WP Editor button support

activate the option “Fix TinyMCE error”, or disable the cforms button.

Great! Checking that setting fixed my problem 🙂

Thanks a lot for your quick support!
