    Unable to create new topic

    Hi there

    There have been a couple of related posts on this topic but we are still having issues and I wondered if anyone out there had any suggestions?

    I think the problem is similar to this one:

    http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/nforum/general/24064-Create-Topic-and-Post-not-working

    I have Umbraco 4.7.1.1. and nForum 1.5.

    The forum is not at a root node - it is a few levels down in the content tree.

    We have tried to move the forum master templates under our own and could post topics.

    I've tried to put the templates back the way they were by carrying out a clean install on a separate site and then copying the master page content into the templates in the CMS. I've also copied back /scripts and /css relating to nforum just to be sure.

    The TinyMCE editor is not initialising because although the emoticons bar is displayed there is no tool bar in the text area.

    The topic post is faling in nformumgeneral.js at this line:

    var sbody = tinyMCE.get('txtPost').getContent();

    obviously because it is calling a "get" against something that doesn't exist as an object.

    There a couple of posts that report these symptoms but none seem to have helped so far.

    This problem occurs in Firefox and chrome, but not in IE9. However in IE9 it doesn't actually complete creating the topic

     

    (but I think this is a fix for that one:http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/nforum/general/29631-Getting-javascript-error-when-in-IE,-when-adding-post-or-topic?p=1)

    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    An update. i can't confirm fixed yet but basically I've unistalled and re-installed nForum. Noticed that some tinyMCE files were added that weren't there previously so looks like the person who installed the forum didn't correctly commit their code changes to our Git Repository.

    I have a different error at the moment that is probably related to a custom member type but I need to step through that first. If I can get that working then I will confirm if this fixed it.

    Uninstalling and re-installing did solve the problem but not without deleting the examine indexes folder and re-creating the examin index so that the new forum root ID was updated to the new one.
