Subject: Edit toolbar problem (it vanished!)
Hello!

I installed Dokuwiki a few days ago (RC3) and I'm very happy with it so far. However, today something weird happened.
The edit toolbar (with the H1, H2.. etc buttons) has suddenly disappeared! Instead there is a text link saying "Media Files" and nothing else.

I can of course still edit, but the toolbar is quite handy and I'm missing it a lot.

Oh, this happens in Firefox 1.5. I opened my wiki in MSIE and could see the toolbar. But why is it missing in FireFox? I've emptied my cache with no visible effect on the toolbar.

I'm grateful for any ideas. Thank you in advance.

Press shift reload tomake sure your browser doesn't have an invalid cache. If the problem remains check the JavaScript console for errors.

Hmm... That actually solved it. Allthough not right away. I hard reloaded multiple times with no luck. Then I simply did not use the browser for a while and now it's back. Weirdness.

Thanks for the help!

Is there a real solution to this?
I'm also experiencing it in both IE and FF.

I am also experiencing this problem in Opera 9, Firefox 2, and IE 6. Clearing the cache did nothing - there is no evidence of the Javascript even being there in the source.

I just talked to a guy on the IRC about this problem and discovered, that he upgraded from an older release without updating the conf/dokuwiki.php file. This caused a config variable to be unset which broke the JavaScript. So make sure your conf/dokuwiki.php is up to date (all your local changes belong to conf/local.php).

Subject: toolbar problem again
Hello,

I am experiencing a strange problem with the toolbar. same symtoms as described in the initial posting, but the solutions provided here do not work for me.
to be more precise: the toolbar does show up in one installation, but it doesn't on another (on another machine)
what I did was a pure standard installation, nothing special:
1. download & extract in the DocumentRoot of the server (... ./htdocs/dokuwiki/...)
2. chown -R apache dokuwiki
3. run the install.php script, enter a name and save.
now on one webserver everything runs without errors and the toolbar shows up; on another webserver everything runs without errors as well but no toolbar shows up.  instead, there is just the media files link visible.
what I tried:
- cleared the browse cache
- did a shift-reload (firefox)
- used the internet explorer
- disabled the cache in firefox using the web developer toolbar
.. but no toolbar appears.

the system having these problems is a fedora core 4 with php 5.0.4 - anything wrong with that?

it's weird: everything works, just the toolbar isn't there.
please, if you have any tips/ideas, I would be glad...

yours, Oliver

Subject: Edit toolbar problem
The same problem with me.

The edit toolbar shows up on a web server (Apache 2.0.54 and PHP 5.1.5) and is not there in a local installation (Apache 2.2.3 and PHP 5.2.0-3). The new dokuwiki.php is installed in both cases.

When I click on the edit button the "error console" shows this:
Error: missing ; before statement
Source File: http://localhost/dokuwiki/lib/exe/js.php?edit=1&write=1
Line: 1, Column: 160
Source Code:
var DOKU_BASE='/dokuwiki/';var alertText='Bitte geben sie den zu formatierenden Text ein.\nDieser wird am Ende des Dokuments eingefügt.';;var notSavedYet=Nicht gespeicherte Änderungen gehen verloren!\nWeitermachen?';v;var reallyDel=intrag wirklich löschen

I could not find any other information about this problem.
I tried to track down the differences of the two platforms (where the one works and the other not) and was very surprised to find out that there are no big differences at all. both systems are:

fedora core 4 with installed packages:
  * php-5.0.4-10.5
  * httpd-2.0.54-10.4
  * php-pear-5.0.4-10.5

I also noticed the same javascript error ("Error: missing ; before statement ....."). It might be that the javascript code is being garbled because of encoding problems. But I can't say much more ...the infamous line 1 is very long: in my texteditor it wraps over more than 3 pages and is very difficult to read :(
Also, I set the language to 'en' and cleared the dokuwiki cache in dokuwiki/data/cache to force the creation of new renderings. durings these tests, the cache of my firefox browser was _disabled_ (firefox web developer toolbar, "disable cache"). but the results were the same, script error on line 1, toolbar does not work etc.
this is really annoying. the customer now asked me to install dokuwiki on a windows machine as the problem is not solvable right now.

cheers,
oliver

I had this problem with my page; though I made a template to match the rest of my site.  I traced it back to my inclusion of "mootools" in the header -- apparently there's a conflict in the js.  So I suggest turning on the js error console, or looking for conflicting code.

Hi :),

did you have any particular reason to awake a thread where the last post was made on 2006-11-28 ;-)?
Please add [SOLVED] to the initial thread subject if you feel your question has been answered.
