* Great plugin!
Just upgraded to WP 3.1, and the Visual editor / HTML editor toggle
buttons above the TinyMCE editor no longer work.

* Excellent, thanks! However, if I have a Quantity:Multiple write panel, the Visual/
HTML toggle doesn’t work for the first section (if I add more sections, it works
fine on them). No javascript errors are being thrown, though.
Hope it’s an easy
fix, and thanks for the quick response!

* Also, this issue is occurring on a WordPress multisite build…not sure if the
issues are related, but after upgrading to WP 3.1 I am also seeing similar problems
to what existed before Magic Fields 1.5.1 (that is, content fields disappearing
when saving/publishing/updating a page).

* We’re experiencing what I think may be a related issue on a client site running
WP3.1 and MF1.5.4 (PHP5/Apache server). Every once in a while, but not all the
time, the content in a multi-line widget will not save unless the “HTML” button
is toggled. When this happens, even though the “HTML” button is toggled, the
content is still shown as if it were using the visual editor.
* I’ve been able to replicate the issue in several browsers (Chrome 9, FF 3.6,
and IE8) and on pages with multiple multi-line MFs and single-line MFs, with
different types of content. There doesn’t appear to be any way to determine when
the issue will happen.
* Love the plugin – would appreciate some guidance. 🙂

* Yep, that’s exactly what happens for me–neither the Visual or HTML button is
toggled on some multi-line widgets, and if you update the page in that state (
neither button selected), the data in that field will be lost. If you manually
click the HTML button, the TinyMCE editor stays (i.e., it doesn’t switch to a
textarea), but the data will be saved.
* In my limited debugging, it’s always the first magic field section that you edit
that has this problem. If I have a quantity:multiple write panel, any subsequent
section I add will work perfectly. Also note, if I edit an existing page that
has multiple magic field sections, whichever one I click on to edit first (it
doesn’t have to be the first one at the top) will not work.
* I’m pretty sure it’s not a database issue and should be able to be fixed with
some jQuery or javascript calls. The data loss seems to occur because the textarea
that doesn’t have the Visual/HTML toggle selected is not tied to the form submit,
so the data never gets sent back to the database.
* Again, thanks for the awesome plugin! It has made development of public online
courses at the university I work for so much easier.

* Yes, that fix works for me!
* In my quick testing, all multiline textboxes worked fine when toggling between
Visual/HTML (TinyMCE/textarea). Kudos to you for hunting that down! I’d say it’s
safe to include in an update, but the one thing I haven’t tested is interaction
with other TinyMCE extension plugins (I have the latest version of TinyMCE Advanced
installed, but nothing else).
* I’ll let you know if I run into any problems. Again, thanks!

* Update – the patch worked, but created another problem: the upload/insert media
buttons have disappeared. Had to roll back the patch.

* Having the same problem with WP 3.1 and Magic Fields 1.5.4 (toggle between HTML
and Visual doesn’t always work and all my linebreaks get stripped away in Visual
mode).
* Commenting out line 1198 didn’t help. I still can’t access HTML mode and Visual
mode removes all paragraphs.

* Update: If I comment out 1198, I can usually access HTML mode but all the HTML
tags/formatting (particularly paragraph tags) gets stripped away when I do that.
* I’m pretty sure this isn’t WordPress’ doing since I disabled wpautop

* This happens to me as well 🙁 Only solution I’ve found so far is to try to click
the HTML button before the page finishes loading…

* Just a quick summary of where this bug stands:
* Applying this:
* comment out line 1198 in js/groups.js: tinyMCE.init(options);
* Causes this:
* Fixed data loss if you don’t click Visual/HTML buttons on 1st
magic field; * Breaks Upload/Insert media buttons; * Breaks other TinyMCE init
stuff (how it treats line breaks, etc.)
* Just looking for an update here, thanks guys!
* p.s. any one remember this:
