Advanced Editor issues about sox HOT 9 CLOSED

I've removed the Ace Editor feature.

To anyone who sees this in the future, the feature is available as a separate userscript at Stack Apps: Stack Exchange Editor Extra: a userscript to add extra features to the Markdown Editor

from sox.

@enki-code I've fixed the first issue, but can't repro the second one:

Does it still happen? Anything in console?

from sox.

Yeah, second one still happens. Dialog is blank.

Console errors

Uncaught ReferenceError: ace is not defined
(anonymous function) @ VM1965:1001

@enki-code try entering ace in the console after you get those error message. does it exist?

from sox.

@shu8 I have an idea for a fix. When loading a question, an ajaxComplete event fires, you could try wrapping your initialization code in that. I suspect this is a timing issue.

$(document).ajaxComplete(function(event, request, settings) {
    var url = settings.url;
    if(url.indexOf('/posts/') > -1){
         // try injecting your stuff here.

    }
});

@enki-code I'll be looking into this again either today or tomorrow :)

from sox.

It seems the ace editor issue is a timing issue... but I can't fix it. To anyone interested, I've tried..:

• @requireing the Ace editor files directly from the userscript
• adding various setTimeouts
• using the ajaxComplete function enki gave

from sox.

ok.. this ace editor is a pain.

Thoughts on getting rid of the ace editor section entirely? @enki-code

from sox.

@shu8 I honestly wouldn't be bothered by it. It might be better off on its own, as a strand alone script.
