Support » Plugin: PixGridder » Not compatible with ACF 5 plugin

  • Today I tried PixGridder for the first time and I like it. Another plugin I used a lot of times is Advanced Custom Fields and I never want to miss it.

    PixGridder and ACF (Version 4.3.8) are working very well together. But with the new version of ACF (https://github.com/AdvancedCustomFields/acf5-beta) the PixGridder not working any more.

    While editing a page/post I got these errors in the console

    TypeError: 'null' is not an object (evaluating 'tinyMCE.get('content').dom')
    TypeError: 'null' is not an object (evaluating 'tinyMCE.get('content').setContent')

    From my point of view it’s difficult to evaluate which plugin is responsible for the error. I also wrote to Elliot, the developer of ACF to have a look on this.

    Hope this can be fixed by Elliot or Manuel.

    Thanks
    Thomas

    Mmmm… honestly I don’t know well the other plugin, even if it is very popular, my apologies. I’ve tried to create a simple custom field on a page and edit something: everything works fine, so maybe it depends on the type of custom field? Don’t know, Could you provide more details to replicate the issue please?

    Are you sure, that you used the new version ACF 5 (https://github.com/AdvancedCustomFields/acf5-beta). O.k – this is a beta version, but it’s very advanced and basically runs flawlessly.

    I checked this on a clean and fresh test installation. I didn’t have to create any ACF field – after activating both plugins and editing a page there are to behaviors

    – Using the Preview tab the page is endless reloading
    – Using the Builder tab it’s only showing the PixGridder 2.0.1 Headline and the footer with the + sign.

    In both situations I will get the two errors described above.

    Thanks

    Sorry Thomas,

    I’ve tried the version available from the backend of my test site. Now I see the issue with the preview tab if a page hasn’t been saved yet, I’ll fix it ASAP, but nothing else. I’ll give a try to the beta too, but can you tell if you have the same issues with the last official release please?

    Manuel 🙂

    Hello Manuel,

    Elliot (the developer of ACF) has answered to my question on the Github page:

    The reloading page is caused by the ACF validation script listening to the submit event on the #post form.
    It seems that the pixgridder plugin triggers the submit event when you change to preview, which then tells ACF to perform validation and continue the submit event which reloads the page.

    Are you able to add in Manuel so we can find a solution together?

    I would be great if you join the discussion on Github.

    Thanks
