Could there be an error in the manual module regarding displaying php-code. Maybe the way it is saving pages. See thread:
http://forum.websitebaker.org/index.php/topic,2788.0.html

[PeterM]

Has anyone had the time to look at this problem?

[PeterM]

I don't know much about php and mysql. I looked in the mysql database and saw that the content_field of the wysiwyg module and the manual module are both of the text type. They both use the same editor. How can it be that one displays php-code correctly and the other doesn't? I'm bothering you all again with this because it's holding me back in starting a manual for making templates.
I could start using ordinary wysiwyg pages for this, but i guess the manual module is especially made for this, so i want to use it if possible.

Anyone?

Here is 2.5RC3.

Fix Error, Can't edit and save 'code' writen into a chapter.

Now the editor work the same way as the editor in the wysiwyg module.

2.5RC3 Changelog:

• Updated info.php to 2.5RC3
• Changes in save_chapter.php and modify_chapter.php

How to update from earlier versions:
Overwrite save_chapter.php and  modify_chapter.php with the new ones or delete the old and install the new version.

Hi

I think that it will be a good ide, if you agree, to put the version 2.5RC3 into completed module because there are errors in version 2.4 which are removed in 2.5RC3 and the error i removed today is the last one in the Manual module.

Thank you very much. It's working great now. I will start working on the manual. Hopefully i have something usable in the next couple of weeks.

hmpf ... after upgrading I get error:

Code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function fetchRow() on a non-object in C:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\modules\manual\view.php on line 35

just downloaded the V2.5 and upgraded over my RC1 Installation ...

cheers

Hello,

I'm not shure, because no RC1 here, but it could be that you need a database update to get V2.5 working. Theres was some changes in the different releases. There is an update file in the modul, maybe running this solves your problem.

Matthias

[kweitzel]

stupid me ... of cause, after you wrote it, I found the script ...

cheers

Klaus

PS: I can't even remember, which Version I had installed ...

Would it be possible somehow, to use this manual just as the news menu?

1. There is a link in the main menu on the left called "Manuals" (or FAQs, whatever) wihout any children menu items
2. If you click on this, it will display a content list on the left, which containt all the different lists of manuals created so far
3 You open the manuals from this list in the main area, and not from the menu?

Thank you!

Great kudos to the creator(s) of this module, it's just fine and suits my needs completely!

[rsmith]

Found an issue, i think, just wondering if anyone else has the same one..

On a manual page, if a WB link is created it inserts like [wblink123]
when the page is viewed the [wblink123] text is whats linked to not the actual page name, and the link is not found, I've tried on a couple servers with the same results.

Code:

http://server.com/pages/manual94/new-module-ideas/[wblink123]

it should be

Code:

http://server.com/pages/wb-ideas/language-editor/screen-shot.php

same code on a wysiwyg page (copy/paste)  works fine.

any ideas?

Rob

WB 2.6.3
manual mod 2.5
both htmlarea and fckeditor 2.2 create the same link


EDIT: Fixed

using the wysiwyg module view.php as an example I was able to fix it

modifling line 51 and including the next line seems to fix the issue

Code:

$content = $fetch_content['content'];
$wb->preprocess($content);

this may also fix the "code" issue that was posed a few pages back in this thread. as well as correctly process any other text areas that use the wysiwyg editor

A second fix for empty records...
in the modify.php file add around line 33:

Code:

$database->query("DELETE FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_manual_chapters WHERE page_id = '$page_id' and title=''");

This will delete any entries from the manual chapters table that belong to this manual (page_id) and that don't have a title.
while testing to fix the links a number of empty pages built up.. so this cleans them out quickly.

maybe to be included in the next release..

Great Module !!!  ..... actually kind of an article module

1. Is there a way to embed the full navigation Structure in the layout ( IE: single or double navigation scroll-down form box) .... for having the ability to jump from every page to every page ... ?

2. is there planes to extend it to more then just 2 cheptars depth ( lets say : category + subcategory + articles ) ?

3. WB Search function does not work with this module

[T.K.]

Is there a chance to get the wysiwyg-editor integrated in this module. Would be much easier to do formatting...
Personally, I plan to use it as a family-recipe collection 

If someone tells me how (I'm not much into programming, though) I would try myself, when I've free time...

Best regards, Thomas

Hello,

Is there a chance to get the wysiwyg-editor integrated in this module

In 2.6RC1 the wysiwyg Editor is already integrated

Matthias

[T.K.]

...where? Maybe (or probably) I'm just too stupid to find it... 
(see attached screenshot)
Thanks for your help!

Hello,

done right now a new install of wb 2.6.4 and manual 2.6RC1 and WYSIWYG Editor is shown in the modify window (the window from your screenshot). So it is for shure integrated in the code. I couldn't reproduce, why it isn't shown at your installation.

So to help you a few questions.
- Wich WYSIWYG Editor did you use?
- Have you tried it with another editor? (I use FCKEditor).
- Did you have other problems with the WYSIWYG Editor too?

Matthias

[T.K.]

I'm using exactly the same installation with FCKEditor...no problems until now.
BUT: I checked the setting in the options section of WB and there was no wysiwyg-editor selected... I wonder why it worked at all in other pages???
Well, anyway thank's for the hint, now everything works fine 

Thomas

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

Will check this, and if it is reproducable i think it's a samll bug.

Thanks

I have experienced the following error when trying to remove a Manual Section from a page...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: rm_full_dir() in /homepages/44/d170283864/htdocs/zuzabooks/wb/modules/manual/delete.php on line 30

The page has no parent and there are no chapters created.

This is my first day with WebsiteBaker and I was just trying out all the fab modules. This is my first error so far and would appreciate if anyone could help.

Thanks

[T.K.]

Hi again!
I would like to use the manual module as a recipe collection. But I just want the main chapters on the first page without subchapters. Can anyone tell me how to change this?
As a reward there will be a growing collection of family recipes on my homepage (in German...) as soon as I have figured this out. 
Thanx, T.K. (www.kellerban.de)

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

why you didn't make the first chapter without subchapter, and then the second and the following chapters with the subchapters you want.

Or wanna you only have a text (wich you described as "main Chapter") above your Manual. Then add a WYSIWYG Section above the manual section and put there the text in it.
