WordPress 2.5
WordPress 2.5 has been released! Installed! And? Does it work? Basically yes. But…
TinyMCE pop-ups are blank in Firefox. This is what I found (similar problems):
- WordPress.org forum 1
- WordPress.org forum 2
- WordPress.org forum 3
- On blogging Australia by Andrew Boyd (yes, I also do not like the new admin interface).
- On Facibus also by Andrew Boyd ;-)
- YellowSwordFish forum
The Console shows:
Source: http://…/wp/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_popup.js
Line: 53
Error: tinyMCE.getParam is not a function
Source: http://…/wp/wp-includes/js/tinymce/utils/form_utils.js
Line: 10
Error: tinyMCEPopup.requireLangPack is not a function
Source: http://…/wp/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/advimage/js/image.js
Line: 5
Upgrading TinyMCE to v3.0.5 did not help (see this post on how to do that). Neither did the replacing inline pop-ups with real pop-up windows. The content is empty. However, TinyMCE works fine on the Moxiecode example page and locally using the example files. Hence, it's not the code but the configuration or the method WordPress initializes TinyMCE (tiny_mce_config.php ?)
Update 2008-03-31 @13:48:24 Disabling compression ('compress' => false) and/or caching ('disk_cache' => false) in tiny_mce_config.php did not help. The WP cache (wp/wp-content/uploads/js_cache) was cleaned manually.

Hi Alekz,
thanks for the link and for the acknowledgment that I am not going nuts :)

Hi Alekz,
thanks also for the second link :)
As a protest, I'm thinking of starting an unofficial WordPress bug repository – I'll link here when it's up so that you'll know.
Cheers, Andrew

And now the funny part. It stopped working in IE6! Yeeehaaaa!!!
Checked with Firefox 3b4 with the same result.
Back to playing with nocache and nogzip.

Reloading the empty frame (inside any pop-up window) helped! The next problem is the absence of the proper field names in the pop-ups.

Uploading does not work on Solaris. I could upload a bunch of images with Firefox 3 + FlashPlayer 9 + wine (see my test post here.
