Xinha doesn't run with own files

lo · 2007-02-23 14:20:28

Hello, perhaps somebody can help me.
I unzipped Xinha 0.92beta and installed it on apache. The examples-file always runs, but not my onw scripts. I think i have an error in reasoning, but I can't find it.

I made a file called index.htm with the following code:

<html>
<head>
<title>New Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
_editor_url = "/admin/xinha/" // (preferably absolute) URL (including trailing slash) where Xinha is installed
_editor_lang = "en"; // And the language we need to use in the editor.
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/admin/xinha/XinhaCore.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/admin/xinha/my_config.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<textarea id="feld" name="feld" rows="10" cols="50" style="width: 100%">test</textarea>
</body>
</html>

As you can see the textarea has the id "feld" and is named "feld"
I also made a file called my_config.js with code of the Newbie Guide:

<html>
<head>
<title>New Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
xinha_editors = null;
xinha_init = null;
xinha_config = null;
xinha_plugins = null;

// This contains the names of textareas we will make into Xinha editors
xinha_init = xinha_init ? xinha_init : function()
{
/** STEP 1 ***************************************************************
* First, what are the plugins you will be using in the editors on this
* page. List all the plugins you will need, even if not all the editors
* will use all the plugins.
*
* The list of plugins below is a good starting point, but if you prefer
* a must simpler editor to start with then you can use the following
*
* xinha_plugins = xinha_plugins ? xinha_plugins : [ ];
*
* which will load no extra plugins at all.
************************************************************************/

xinha_plugins = xinha_plugins ? xinha_plugins :
[
'CharacterMap',
'ContextMenu',
'FullScreen',
'ListType',
'SpellChecker',
'Stylist',
'SuperClean',
'TableOperations'
];
// THIS BIT OF JAVASCRIPT LOADS THE PLUGINS, NO TOUCHING :)
if(!Xinha.loadPlugins(xinha_plugins, xinha_init)) return;

/** STEP 2 ***************************************************************
* Now, what are the names of the textareas you will be turning into
* editors?
************************************************************************/

xinha_editors = xinha_editors ? xinha_editors :
[
'feld'
];

/** STEP 3 ***************************************************************
* We create a default configuration to be used by all the editors.
* If you wish to configure some of the editors differently this will be
* done in step 5.
*
* If you want to modify the default config you might do something like this.
*
* xinha_config = new Xinha.Config();
* xinha_config.width = '640px';
* xinha_config.height = '420px';
*
*************************************************************************/

xinha_config = xinha_config ? xinha_config() : new Xinha.Config();

/** STEP 4 ***************************************************************
* We first create editors for the textareas.
*
* You can do this in two ways, either
*
* xinha_editors = Xinha.makeEditors(xinha_editors, xinha_config, xinha_plugins);
*
* if you want all the editor objects to use the same set of plugins, OR;
*
* xinha_editors = Xinha.makeEditors(xinha_editors, xinha_config);
* xinha_editors['myTextArea'].registerPlugins(['Stylist','FullScreen']);
* xinha_editors['anotherOne'].registerPlugins(['CSS','SuperClean']);
*
* if you want to use a different set of plugins for one or more of the
* editors.
************************************************************************/

xinha_editors = Xinha.makeEditors(xinha_editors, xinha_config, xinha_plugins);

/** STEP 5 ***************************************************************
* If you want to change the configuration variables of any of the
* editors, this is the place to do that, for example you might want to
* change the width and height of one of the editors, like this...
*
* xinha_editors.myTextArea.config.width = '640px';
* xinha_editors.myTextArea.config.height = '480px';
*
************************************************************************/

/** STEP 6 ***************************************************************
* Finally we "start" the editors, this turns the textareas into
* Xinha editors.
************************************************************************/

Xinha.startEditors(xinha_editors);
}

Xinha._addEvent(window,'load', xinha_init); // this executes the xinha_init function on page load
// and does not interfere with window.onload properties set by other scripts

</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

When I call the index.htm in my browsers (IE and FF) I always get the textarea, but no editor toolbar. Has anybody a tip for me. Thanks

you must not have HTML tags in the my_config.js file (it's a JavaScript file and may thus contain only JavaScript)

<html>
  <head>
    <title>New Document</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
       .
       .
       .
</script>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Thanks for your quick answer. I changed my_config.js, but the error exists anymore.

now my_config.js looks like:

xinha_editors = null;
xinha_init = null;
xinha_config = null;
xinha_plugins = null;

xinha_init = xinha_init ? xinha_init : function()
{
xinha_plugins = xinha_plugins ? xinha_plugins :
[
'CharacterMap',
'ContextMenu',
'FullScreen',
'ListType',
'SpellChecker',
'Stylist',
'SuperClean',
'TableOperations'
];
// THIS BIT OF JAVASCRIPT LOADS THE PLUGINS, NO TOUCHING
if(!Xinha.loadPlugins(xinha_plugins, xinha_init)) return;

xinha_editors = xinha_editors ? xinha_editors :
[
'feld'
];

xinha_config = xinha_config ? xinha_config() : new Xinha.Config();
xinha_editors = Xinha.makeEditors(xinha_editors, xinha_config, xinha_plugins);
Xinha.startEditors(xinha_editors);
}

Xinha._addEvent(window,'load', xinha_init);

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Must I insert a body onload-Tag?? It seems that the javascripts are not be activated.

this should be taken care of by

Xinha._addEvent(window,'load', xinha_init);

please try and report if it works with

Xinha.addDom0Event = function(window,'load', xinha_init);

or ultimately

window.onload = xinha_init;

instead.
I have only recently changed this in the Newbie guide thinking it would prevent problems, but if it doesn't work, I'll have to change it back

That also doesn't work.
But I solved the problem by taking the testbed.htm in the examples-dir and modified it. Now xinha runs with own scripts.
Thanks for helping.
But there is another problem.
I tested xinha on two systems.
On the one system I have no editor toolbars with different browsers, but the same scripts run on the other system.
Does anybody know how to fix the problem?
Thanks.
