Well, that scratches that idea...

*grin*

So, Neut, can you post a list of plugins you have installed for me? Maybe there is some correlation between yours and Carl's list...

There you go:

Markup: Serendipity
Markup: NL2BR
Fix common XHTML errors
Markup: BBCode
Browser Compatibility
Markup: Emoticate
Links to next/previous entry
Spam Protector
Announce entries
Spartacus
Contactform
Static Pages
Extended properties for entries

Neut, I'm not having any luck replicating the problem (I have tried to just install the plugins you have, in the same order, and the ones Carl had, and just the plugins you both had, but I've had no luck).

Would you be willing to create a new user on the blog and see if the problem affects them, too? (I am assuming your blog isn't multi-user already, even though you didn't specify.)

I am wondering if this is a cookie problem, or something of that sort.

I've just tested my install with the same plugins that neut lists, and also with the andreas08 template, and I still can't replicate the fault again.

Just to be certain, I created a demo user but still the problem can't be replicated. Sorry Matt, I wish I could do more.

Hi Matthew,
I created a new user blog in a seperate MySQL database, same problem: no WYSIWYG-editor for the static pages, but is does show up in the Contact form. Hope it helps.

Edit: how about I install S9Y 1.1 beta 5. Maybe this way we can eliminate the possibility it's related to S9Y 1.1 beat 6 and 1.1 final.
Edit 2: never mind that: no difference (nightly build of december 1).

I use a modifed Kubrick v1.2.5 template. I've just tried the s9y Thin template which doesn't work neither.

Thanks for your help !

When I first installed Contact Form, I repeatively had the same error as you. For the life of me I cannont remember how I got it to quit doing that but I ask, have you tried moving the list of plugins around to see if it is conflicting in position.

Ie. Put Contactform under Static Pages and see what if any effects occur.

Hi, for me the contact form plugin works OK, it's the static page plugin which give me the same error.
Nevertheless I shuffled the plugins into various combinations, but it does not solve it. Many thanks for your feedback though!

Thank you for your suggestion, but on my side plugins postion changes apparently nothing. The contact form is related to the Contact Form plugin in the event plugin list and is called by an HTML block plugin in the navigation menu plugin list. I moved both plugins from the bottom to the top of the two plugin lists testing here and there without success...

Please note that Scrapinette still uses S9Y 1.0 (with a gorgeous template if i may add), so it's not necessarily a 1.1 thing.

I'm very glad you enjoy it !

Back to the problem... Yesterday I wanted to prepare a new post and to be able to preview it. Since it did not upgrade 1.1 release yet (yes, I know shame on me !), I had to suppress the Contact Form plugin. When I installed it back, it works properly...

I suppressed/reinstalled it already a number of times since the problem occurs and I have absolutely no idea why the suppress/reinstall worked this time. However, it could explain why this bug is so hard to reproduce...

Now I cross the fingers...

Tried this voor de Static Pages plugin.....

Ok, I'm back... sorry I've been gone for a while.

I'm still unsure what is causing this. I'm glad Scrapinette has it working (

), but the fact that it is fixed with an uninstall/reinstall, and only then sometimes, doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

*sigh*

I'm going to try to get Garvin re-interested in this thread, because I don't think I know enough about the preview process and why it would be hijacked by plugins.

Since upgrading to 1.1, any attempt to preview or publish a new entry fails -- with either, the preview area simply show the front page of the admin interface.
