bump? has anyone taken note of this?

Workaround/clue to the problem: If you click the "file upload" button and enter text where it says "name (optional)" then the link will appear.

Dear @julian

I created a fresh trial NodeBB on NodeBB.org, installed v1.8.1.

When I tried uploading files non-picture files with the normal composer, everything worked fine.

When I tried doing it with Redactor enabled, it has the same behavior as our site. The upload progress bar at the top temporarily appears, but no upload appears in Redactor.

So this issue does not seem to be specific to our site.

In NodeBB 1.8.2 we can no longer upload any file types except pictures.

Please note that we are using the Redactor Composer for entering text.

We have the following file types enabled:

Uploading jpg and png files work fine. But when I try .zip, .izz, .pdf the upload indicator at the top of the window briefly shows up, but no file is deposited there.

In previous versions of NodeBB, uploading these kinds of files worked fine with Redactor.

I tried deleting all the file types, saving the settings, and entering them again, but to no avail.

Does anyone have ideas on this for me?

Is there some way to temporary disable Redactor (without uninstalling it) so I can try with the normal composer?

@julian - could you possibly try uploading files with Redactor to see if you see the problem also?

@julian

We did that and it worked. Thanks a million.

Is there any news on this issue? We'd really like to have a fix.

Have you tried running ./nodebb build and restarting?

Yes, we tried that. We also installed the v1.8.2 update and it did not solve the problem.

We've just upgraded to v1.8.1 and the users on my forum are experiencing numerous problems. One of them seems to happen on numerous browsers and operating systems.

I have filed a detailed bug report on GitHub, but the issue boils down to this: the position of the toolbar and/or editor when hitting reply is dependent on the length of the thread. If you reply to the first post, things will work OK:

If you reply to the second post, you'll note that the editor window is now starting much higher on the page:

Finally, if you reply to the last post on a long thread you'll see the following and the editor will be unusable. (Or at least seem to be... when you type, you see nothing, but maybe the text is so far above the viewable area you can't see it.)

As you can see in the user discussion here:

This is affecting a number of users on numerous browsers. Clearing the cache does not improve the issue.

Will reach out and see if I can snag a download

Any news on this?

If there's anything I can do to help with this process, please let me know. It's a bummer to have gone from something that was working perfectly to something that has several annoying bugs.

@julian said in Redactor 3.0.3 Bugs in NodeBB 1.6.1:

I can't reproduce the bold/italic bug

I didn't specify my platform or browser. I'm working with Mac OS with Safari and Chrome.

I just created a Fresh NodeBB forum at https://nodebb.org to test this issue so that I can ensure it's not something specific to our site. I'll had to refine my reproduce case for Bug #1, but now it seems totally reproducible for both Safari and Chrome. (See edit to Bug #1 in my original post.)

Bugs 2 + 3 were immediately reproducible on Safari, but Bug 3 did not happen on Chrome.

So the summary is:

Mac OS Desktop: Safari = all three bugs happen
Mac OS Desktop: Google Chrome = bugs 1 + 2 happen

Finally, the same tests performed on a Redactor test page

Redactor Test Page

did not exhibit the bugs.

I've emailed the Redactor team to see if they can do anything about this as well. (Note that there was no bug with using the command keys to Bold an item... just when italicizing.)
