Live Preview phpbb 3.0.11

[Cable Player]

Hi there, I'm not too sure why the mod author can't offer support on .com but can here, but that's OK I didn't mind signing up over here. So, here's a copy/paste of my post:

Is this MOD compatible with phpBB 3.0.11?

I've installed it but it doesn't work - when typing it doesn't "update"... I've installed it before, on previous versions and it worked just fine.

You can see that the livepreview.html file is being loaded, as a small blank area above the posting body is seen, but it doesn't update as you're typing. I saw a post regarding computability with ABBCB3, which I have installed, but wouldn't see where it could conflict.

These are the MODs I have installed:
Advanced BBCode Box 3 (aka ABBC3) 3.0.12
Welcome PM on first Login (WPM) 2.2.5
Latest Post In Profile 1.0.1
Contact Admin 1.0.10

phpBB mChat 1.3.5
phpBB Gallery 1.1.6
User Blog Mod 1.0.15

Thanks in advance for anything that may help!!

In the case of Live Preview the Advanced BBCode Box 3 (aka ABBC3) 3.0.12 have an other textarea id and syntax as the textarea in a genuine vanilla board. Thats not a false of Live Preview. If you cant fix it with the given information, i need a testuser.

Hello, I'm sorry I don't understand.

I'll PM you login details.

This file is missing and toses an 404 on firebug on starting the posting/live preview:

After that 'missing error' (some seconds) it works perfectly in firefox:

Just hit F5 after that firebug error.

So the solution is simple:
- Pull the missing file on the right place.
- Also check this fix for the "incoming littlebox with [ok] button" > in chrome:

- Also the update time for live preview is to short on this board (this board rides faster as on my testboards). Make it a bit longer:

open

livepreview.js

find

Code: Select all

        setTimeout ('process()',100);
    }
}

function handleServerResponse ()
{    
    if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4)
    {
        if (xmlHttp.status == 200)
        {
            xmlResponse = xmlHttp.responseText;                    
            document.getElementById("livepreview").innerHTML = xmlResponse;
            setTimeout ('process()',150);

replace with

Code: Select all

        setTimeout ('process()',200);
    }
}

function handleServerResponse ()
{    
    if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4)
    {
        if (xmlHttp.status == 200)
        {
            xmlResponse = xmlHttp.responseText;                    
            document.getElementById("livepreview").innerHTML = xmlResponse;
            setTimeout ('process()',300);

or replace with

Code: Select all

        setTimeout ('process()',200);
    }
}

function handleServerResponse ()
{    
    if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4)
    {
        if (xmlHttp.status == 400)
        {
            xmlResponse = xmlHttp.responseText;                    
            document.getElementById("livepreview").innerHTML = xmlResponse;
            setTimeout ('process()',600);

Thanks, that did the trick.

How was it you got firefox to tell you that?? I'm interested!!

Firebug
http://getfirebug.com/
is an addon for firefox and other systems.

Shows you eg. script errors (in [console] tab) on websites and much more.

A 'must have' for developer and webadmins.
