HTMLarea invalid

**godspeed27** · 21 Mar 2007, 02:28 AM

Yeah, I really want to go to Zen School...ha, but if they had it, I might go!

Is there really such a thing?

Being on the Zen Cart Development Team ... in a word, I'd say No!

Someone is stretching their references about themselves and trying to make them look like something that they are not ...

The Zen Cart Team has not offered any type of program, at this time, for certification as a Zen Cart specialist ...

We do have Certified Hosting sites for your domains listed under the hosting link at the top of you screen but this does not extend beyond hosting ...

Man...I had my laptop all packed ready to go to Zen School...

Anyways, Linda, while we have your attention here, would you like to through down your 2 cents on this problem?

Haven't a clue ... I have never been able to break my HTMLarea like this to repeat the issue to even know where to steer you ...

I am sure mine was caused by the language pack, Japanese as I know I wasn't the only one who had that problem.

OT- The Zen Certified Specialist mentioned above was a Zen Certified HOST.

**godspeed27** · 21 Mar 2007, 04:26 PM

Oh...so the host installed the cart for them?

They had to change something to make it break.

Two different solutions found:

1. Comment line 21 out in admin/includes/htmlarea.php

// echo ' _editor_lang = "'.strtolower($_SESSION['languages_code']).'";' .BR;

2. In editors/htmlarea/htmlarea.js on line 29 add the last line below

// make sure we have a language
if (typeof _editor_lang == "string") {
_editor_lang = _editor_lang.toLowerCase();
} else {
_editor_lang = "en";
}
_editor_lang = "en"; //Wils added

Both solutions are related to HTMLAREA not finding the correct language settings.

Works for me on 1.3.7 upgraded.

I just tried the two fixes mentioned above - stiill no HTML editor on a relatively new install of 1.3.7

If you have checked your settings in Admin > Configuration > My Store and it still does not work, a workaround is to use the Xinha editor for Firefox. Works great in all forms. Just make sure you edit in plain text in Zen-Cart, and let Xinha paste the HTML.
