Cannot Edit Content

[cell21]

I'm signed-in as admin with guest, superuser roles, but cannot edit any content within Body or Sidebar. This is despite the Access page apparently showing I have permission to do all this.

I'm really keen to get started with PW, but this is extremely frustrating.

Welcome to ProcessWire.  Can you provide a little more information regarding your site setup/structure so someone can help you?

[cell21]

Hello cstevensjr, thank you.

Running current version of PW with the 'demo' skyscraper content locally on Windows 7 with current version of XAMMP. Anything else you need?

P.S.

This is an 'out-of-the-box install, no additional modules added or custom changes made.

[Ivan Gretsky]

Probably not. If you can, make a screenshot of a page where you cannot edit content. How do you know you can't edit? The textarea is inactive? You got some sort of message while saving a page?

[cell21]

Hello Ivan.

Yes, the the textarea is inactive. It appears to me as if I simply have insufficient permissions though every setting tells me otherwise.

This is very weird. Try to edit the summary. Can you safe what you write in there? If so, something might be broken/corrupt with your body and/or sidebar fields. Try to replace them. If you can't safe the page at all, report back please.

EDIT: Have you checked your server environment? (https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire#troubleshooting-installation) Is your site/config.php and site/templates writeable?

[Ivan Gretsky]

Maybe javascript is turned off?
It seems that only TinyMCE fields do not work. They should fallback to textarea, but check anyway.

Hi totoff.

Yes I can edit and save Summary and Title.

As this is clearly not a common problem, perhaps I should just download a new package and try another clean install. I'll save this template set to compare later. If all goes ok on second install, I may be able to determin the cause. I shall do this a little later on today and report back. Thanks all.

Ivan: JavaScript is running.

Maybe its in demo mode.. look in site/config.php

It's like Ivan said: Looks like a TinyMCE problem.

Do you tried different Browsers? Which OS are you running (looks like windows 2000)? Have you tried to use another computer?

If you are using Chrome, check the console output to see if there are errors

Tried in Opera - an old Presto build ironically - and et voila

So it was a browser issue all along. Why didn't I check that?

Many thanks Nico. I shall now try to work out why this was the case at localhost, but not at the PW online demo, which rendered perfectly.

For future reference my main browser - since Opera committed suicide - is PaleMoon, a custom build of Firefox. Though that in itself is clearly not the sole cause. I

Many thanks to everyone for being so helpful. Glad I don't have cause to blame PW for this initial glitch, because it appears to be the ideal bloat-free, common sense CMS solution I've been searching for.

Yes I should have done more investigation browser-wise, but it was that the online demo that worked perfectly that threw me!

Glad that I could help you

Just to tie things up....

The lack of editing options was due to127.0.0.1/ProcessWire/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldTinyMCE/tinymce-3.5.8/plugins/inlinepopups/editor_plugin.js prevented from loading. The culprit was the following badly implemented regex in my custom adblock script:  .popup.*\.js  Either a typo or accidentally left in place after some testing. Removed it and everything is dandy! TinyMCE editing returned to normal. Now I can get on and enjoy PW. Thanks again all

I take full responsibility for my clumsiness.

[Nico Knoll]

Ah okay. Now go out and have fun with PW

[cell21]

Thanks Nico, I already am

this is, btw, true and sad at the same time.

Very sad indeed totoff. I miss Opera/Presto ever second I'm online. Nothing else comes close.

I've done my best to replicate most of the functionality with numerous plugins and PaleMoon (Firefox), but I just can't achieve the same contented, secure feeling I always had with Opera/Presto. Opera/Presto was solid and they just threw all away in favour of a re-badged Chrome. Opera ASA never gave a single thought for it's devoted user base. It's a tragic waste. Don't let me get started.
