Order Comments Status/Update Boilerplate

[simon1066]

Just updated the CKEditor and now this Boilerplate comments will not copy into the comments box. The editor seems to work fine, and i've re-installed the OC Boilerplate plug-in just cause. No change. Feels like something simple but I can't find it. No error logfile being created.

Can someone send me a hint? Thanks,

I've tested this by upgrading to ckeditor5 on ZC v1.5.8a. The appropriate lines of code on my install of this plugin is as folllows, with the line that gives an error in browser dev console highlighted in red.

    $(document).ready(function() {
      $('#predefined_comments').change(function(){
        val = $(":selected", this).index();
        <?php if ($editor_handler !== '') { ?>
        CKEDITOR.instances['comments'].insertHtml((commentsArray[val].comment) + '<br>'); 
        <?php } else { ?>
        /* Using Plain Text Editor */
        $('textarea[name="comments"]').val($('textarea[name="comments"]').val() +(commentsArray[val].comment) + '\n');
        /*  Use this instead of above line if you want to strip out HTML 
        var html_comment = $.parseHTML(commentsArray[val].comment);
        var text = $(html_comment).text(); 
        $('#comments').val($('#comments').val() +(text) + '\n'); 
        */
        <?php } ?>
      });
    });

I haven't much time at the moment to debug this or compare it with the latest plugin code - so your code might be different.

Edit: relevant file is admin/orders.php

Referencing CKEditor no longer works in CKEditor 5.
Here are some details on how to fix this:

Lol... Thanks, but well over my head.

My code does look like what Simon offered. Guess I'll wait for the update to the order-comments-boilerplate plug-in.

Using the developer tools in the browser, I get this comment when attempting to insert a comment from the Order-comments-boilerplate at the customer order screen:

index.php?cmd=orders&oID=335750&action=edit:753

Uncaught ReferenceError: CKEDITOR is not defined
at HTMLSelectElement.<anonymous> (index.php?cmd=orders&oID=335750&action=edit:753:3)
at HTMLSelectElement.dispatch (jquery-3.6.1.min.js:2:43064)
at y.handle (jquery-3.6.1.min.js:2:41048)

Does that lead anyone to any specific suggestions?

Thank you!

I got Boiler plate to work on 2.1 editing the orders.php file

• CKEditor 5’s visible editor is not updating at all because CKEditor 5 ignores direct DOM updates (innerHTML) and will immediately revert to its internal model.
  
• The only reliable way to update CKEditor 5 is via its editor instance API: editor.setData(...).

So I rebuilt the handler to find the CKEditor 5 editor instance (even if Zen Cart stores it in a non-obvious place) and then insert using:

• editor.getData() + editor.setData(current + comment)

Thanks Carbonless.

We really miss using this plug-in and would love to see it back in action. Is your comment addressing that fact that it will not function when the ZC editor is using CKEditor vs Plain text?

If so, can you help me with where you placed that line - or what line you replaced?

Thank you.
