Error JS with ACF 6

(@karbou)

I have an error with the new version of ACF 6 when in ACF edition group.

Uncaught SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
    initialize_acf_medium_editor_field https://mysite/assets/plugins/acf-medium-editor-field/assets/js/input.js?ver=2.6.0:44

In previous version of ACF, this function initialize_acf_medium_editor_field wasn’t executed in input.js in admin acf group edition, but only in edition post page

i have a custom solution to solve my case, but the plugin need an update for this problem i think

My change on line 89 in input.js

if ($(this).hasClass('acf-field-medium-editor') ) {
					initialize_acf_medium_editor_field($(this));
				}

Thanks a lot
Matt

I’m going to need more information on were you’ve added this code, can you post the entire if/else block where you made the change?

This is the previously code
```
if(typeof acf.add_action !== 'undefined') {
	acf.add_action('ready append', function( $el ){
		acf.get_fields({ type : 'medium_editor'}, $el).each(function(){
			initialize_acf_medium_editor_field($(this));
		});
	});
} else {
	$(document).on('acf/setup_fields', function(e, postbox){
		$(postbox).find('.field[data-field_type="medium_editor"]').each(function(){
			initialize_acf_medium_editor_field($(this));
		});
	});
}
```
And this the new :
```
if(typeof acf.add_action !== 'undefined') {
    acf.add_action('ready append', function( $el ){
        acf.get_fields({ type : 'medium_editor' }, $el).each(function(){
            if ($(this).hasClass('acf-field-medium-editor') ) {
                initialize_acf_medium_editor_field($(this));
            }
        });
    });
} else {
    $(document).on('acf/setup_fields', function(e, postbox){
        $(postbox).find('.field[data-field_type="medium_editor"]').each(function(){
            initialize_acf_medium_editor_field($(this));
        });
    });
}
```
My goal with this modification is to use initialize_acf_medium_editor_field only in edit post page, not in acf field group edit page.

So the real issue here is that it is trying to initialize the field when editing field groups and not an issue when initializing when editing a post or some other place where the field is used.

Initializing when editing a field group in ACF should not be happening at all. That is what I need to figure out.

Your fix does not work for all errors. I am in the process of fixing.

Important note. I am in the process of getting this plugin to work with ACF6, however, in ACF version 6 this plugin will not support custom buttons in the editor. It will only support custom button the acf/medium-editor-field/custom-buttons filter hook in code.

It is going to be a while before I get this fixed. If you must edit field groups containing medium editor fields then I would suggest reverting to ACF5 until this plugin is updated.

For now, until I can get this plugin working again you’ll need to revert to ACF 5 if you want to keep using this plugin.

This should be resolved
