Editor don't works when I get text from database. about line-control

[mouraleonardo]

I solved the problem by using this formula:

        $(document).ready(function(){
            var editor = $("#txtEditor").Editor();
            $("button:submit").click(function(){
                $('#txtEditorContent').text($('#txtEditor').Editor("getText"));
            });

            <?php
            if($my_var){
            ?>
                $('#txtEditor').Editor("setText", "<?php echo addslashes($my_var);?>");
            <?php
            }
            ?>  

        });

As I mentioned earlier, I would rather use json_encode instead of addslashes because it will encode the PHP object (string in this case) to JavaScript-safe characters. So, if $my_var has newlines, they will be converted to \n (as opposed to addslashes who will leave them as-is and break JavaScript).

Only note that json_encode puts quotes around the output string, so the line:

$('#txtEditor').Editor("setText", "<?php echo addslashes($my_var);?>");

Should be changed to:

$('#txtEditor').Editor("setText", <?php echo json_encode($my_var);?>);

(Note lack of quotes around <?php ... ?>)

Take the quotes out of PHP, into Javascript:

$("#txtTip").Editor("setText", "<?php echo $dbText; ?>");

In fact, it is better to also use addslashes() if quotes in $dbText are not escaped.

$("#txtTip").Editor("setText", "");

Worked " in part " ... with more complex texts from BD, gives the error:
"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL "

I had to do so :

< di v id="descricaoHTML" style='display:none'></ di v>

Calling the editor:

$("#txtTip").Editor();
$('.Editor-editor').html($("#textHTML").html()); // Loads the HTML contents from #textHTML into Editor

Only then it worked 100 %.

Thanks.

"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL "

Which character(s) trigger that error?

If you can't see any strange character, maybe it is something related to some invisible Unicode character?

How can i load a default value. i can save neither can i load a default value from my database.
it keep giving me error here:
getText: function(){
//Function to get the source code.
if(!$(this).data("source-mode"))
return $(this).data("editor").html();
else
return $(this).data("editor").children().first().text();
},
pointing to the error here----> return $(this).data("editor").html();

what am i not doing right?

I was experiencing the same issues and it turned out to be line breaks in the html I was storing in my database. After using addslashes($dbText), I replaced the line breaks and this fixed it for me.

$dbText= preg_replace('/\r\n|\r|\n/', " ", $dbText);

[xOneca]

If you are using PHP >= 5.2 then you can use json_encode to escape all Javascript "problematic" characters:

$dbText = json_encode($dbText);

addslashes does not escape newlines, as I thought earlier... 😞

I'm having the same problem :(

[gieart87]

Great Job @mouraleonardo !! You save my time. Thanks!

@mouraleonardo,

I think you meant #txtEditor (and not #txtEditorContent) in the line 4?

$('#txtEditorContent').text($('#txtEditor').Editor("getText"));

[akoSalman]

i had this problem finally this worked for me :
i save this value in a longText field in database
$(".Editor-editor").html();
when retrieving data from database
$(".Editor-editor").append();

Dear @xOneca ,
I have solved the problem using $('#txtEditor').Editor("setText", <?php echo json_encode($my_var);?>); as you mentioned (#issuecomment-125538718).

I can paste text with format into the Editor and it saves it correctly in the database.
However, when I want to edit it (using the code mentioned) the Editor changes the information taken from the database.

For example, if I paste "Text" in italics with yellow highlight, it is saved correctly in the database. And if I call the cell in the database to execute in HTML, it shows it correctly ("Text" in italics with yellow highlight).
When I come back to the Editor to edit this information, the function "setText" is not working perfectly as the text that is set is "Text" in italics WITHOUT yellow highlight. And then, if I saved this edition, it's saved in the database without yellow highlight.

This is just an example of how it looses information. I don't know why or how to solve it.

Thank you very much in advance.
