Issue: In posts with table tags the text editor in VW won't work when trying to edit pages

Hi there,

Something funny is going on with the text editor in Xenforo (latest version).

As I said, in pages with tables (with data) is not working when editing and something similar is happening with the templates with or without table tags.

I hope that someone knows how to solve this because is a little annoying.

Thanks

After further testing, the text editor in Xenforo works like this:

• If I uncheck "Template, so it can be used as a building block for other pages" then the text editor becomes available
• After editing the template and after checking the box again for the template, the changes remain

The changes remain but it looks like this before saving it, just when I check again the box for it to be a template:



After I saved the template, this is how it looks:



Now, where I want the template to be shown, it looks like this:



The result is just like it should be...

Hi there,

I'm still doing some tests with the templates and I found that if I want to insert an image to it I get the following errors:

If I take away the image then it renders the template with no issues...

Thank you for the additional information. Does this mean that the table tags work fine as long as the tag is not being used inside a template editor? Or is it both regular editors with table tags and also template editors that look like that?

My editor always has buttons, even if it is a template editor, but most buttons are grayed out in template mode. Your screen shot suggests that the buttons don't even load. Are you using another add-on that makes changes to the editor?

For that error message with image tags, I believe that may happen if the wiki page contains some tags with XenForo's "advanced"-style options (the only one I know of is URL unfurl="true"

In src/addons/vw/vw/XF/BbCode/Parser.php, find:
Replace with:

Hi there,

I was talking about a regular page, not a template.

The buttons in the page, where the table tags are, the buttons are grayed out, like in the image below:



I'm going to try your solution, will let you know.

Thanks

Another shot, this time not in preview mode:

The table tags are in one line:

The problem is still intact...

I went to check a regular post in the forum with a table and the text editor is working fine.

In templates, the buttons are grayed out intentionally, mainly because the XenForo editor cannot handle raw template parameters without damaging them.
- Do the settings for the wiki area containing this page permit parsing HTML in wiki pages?

In regular wiki pages with HTML turned on, the buttons will also be grayed out intentionally, because the XenForo editor cannot handle raw HTML without damaging it. It is better to have the buttons turned off than to lose parts of your message without warning. If you do not need to use raw HTML, you should disable that setting. I recommend only using raw HTML inside some templates.

The solution I posted was only for the error message you gave about IMG tags. For TABLE tags, I am still trying to understand what you are seeing.

For reference, I have a test page with XenForo tables in the XenForo 2.x demo here:
https://www.vaultwiki.org/xf-wiki/in...ock-TABLE-Test
But when I click Edit, most buttons are not grayed out. You can see smilies and images grayed out, but that is because I disabled them in my area settings.
