[LOW:KNOWN ISSUE:1.0.11] Joomla + Safari

[parambyte]

hello! a request to developers working on Joomla. The current version (1.1x) isnt very compatible with Safari. Can that be fixed somehow? I use Firefox to edit the backend (the editors dont work well at all with Safari).

Are you using Joomla 1.1 Alpha? This is a really old developer snapshot of last february, Joomla! 1.5 beta might be better if you want to test Joomla.

even better a nightly build. http://dev.joomla.org/content/view/17/60/

I am using 1.1x stable. Just checked out the nightly build. Can i use it for a fully working site? Or just for testing? Also do you think this is a problem with the editors? Is there a third party wysiwyg editor that will not have the problem? I believe there is a mac compatible  editor, but it has a commercial license.  if the code is W3C compliant, it should work with all w3c compliant browers?

There is no Joomla! 1.1x stable. You are either using 1.0.11 stable, 1.1 alpha or 1.5 beta/svn. That's where the confusion comes from, what version are you using? Are you working with a custmized template?

[parambyte]

sorry, my mistake.
its Joomla! 1.0.10 Stable on one site

and

Joomla! 1.0.11 Stable on another

editing the backend with a Mac+Safari gives some problems, like the image button greying out etc.
Mac+Firefox is fine.

(I have fallen in love with Joomla. And I want it to work flawlessly with Safari!!! )

You're quite correct, parambyte. To address the issue with {mosimage} first:

When the user clicks the "Insert Image" button the execCommand function runs fine (checks for Safari and all) until it hits the following on line 3167 of tiny_mce_src.js:

Code: Select all

this.execCommand('InsertText', false, value.nodeValue);

There is no case for "InsertText" in the execCommand function and it, as far as I can tell, runs into an eternal loop.

I have told the devs to have a look at this.

I have found several other issues with tinyMCE on Safari, and will report them to the Quality and Testing group. Hopefully they will be sorted out in version 1.0.12.

I any case, the xStandard editor in 1.5 will not have these issues!

Q&T Note; TinyMCE is not actually core, and the problems on Mac are a known issue. We will not be able to fix this, also because it is out of scope for 1.0.12. Closing this as known issue.
