Thanks for reporting this, Bob. I'm not sure which link at the top of the page you're referring to. Can you please clarify? Is this in the main header? Or somewhere on the forum?

Oh wait...or is this in reference to the "Routes" link at the top of some pages? If the route itself doesn't have lat/lon data, you will get no results until you click on the "List View". However, as soon as we have lat/lon entered for all mountains (we have a group working on this...there were 571 mountains with no geolocation data, but we're down to fewer than 100 now), I will update all routes without any lat/lon data to have that of the parent mountain, so that will fix that problem.

I jumped the gun a bit putting that link in the top of the mountain pages, but we will have lat/lon data for all routes very soon so it will be fixed.

I don't think there is an undo option for the new editor?

Also, for some reason spell check doesn't work in the New Editor, but does the others. Cut and paste doesn't work as well either, so spell check would be great.

Yes, in the "Edit" drop-down menu, first option. And the shortcut "Ctrl+z" also works.

I am guessing that this editor has some feature for spellcheck. I'll take a look at how to enable it.

I keep losing all my data and entire sections when moving from one editor to the other.

Here's what I get:



Since it's almost impossible to make a decent page in the new editor this is extremely frustrating.

Copy and Paste does not work in the new editor.

This is the error it gives in Google Chrome:



The keyboard shortcuts do not work either.

Neither works in Internet Explorer.

I keep losing section while using the New Editor even when not switching from one editor to the other.

What happened to the Routes Overview and Camping and Lodging sections?

Right. That's why we're going to fix the new editor and do away with all of the older versions.

Scott wrote:Copy and Paste does not work in the new editor.

I just tested it in Chrome and FireFox and it worked for me. I was able to successfully copy from another page and create a new page with it. I also tried to copy from a MS Word Document and paste into the editor and I got the same error message you received. However, I did use the keyboard shortcut that the error message mentions at the top (Ctrl+v) and that worked to paste text.

Can you tell me step-by-step what you are doing when you try to copy and paste into the editor?

Scott wrote:What happened to the Routes Overview and Camping and Lodging sections?

My guess is that one of the other editors were used on that page and somehow the formatting got lost. Can you send me a link to the page in question where you took that screenshot and I'll take a look?

It's possible I may have figured this one out. The new editor apparently doesn't recognize sections that were added using decimal points for page display.

With the old editors, if you wanted to add a new page section between existing section, the easiest way to do it was to use a decimal point. I have been doing it that way for almost 16 years now.

For example, if I wanted to insert a new section between sections 3 and 4, I would add the section with "Add Another Section" and type 3.5 into the "Display Order". After editing, the older editors automatically set the new section between sections 3 and 4 and reassign them all with whole numbers as soon as you hit edit.

Apparently the new editor doesn't recognize any section that was added by using a decimal point, so now that the new editor is in place, I can't edit any pages without losing the sections that were added by decimal point.

If this really is the case and the reason I am losing data then this is really bad news because 100% of my mountain pages (for the last 16 years) and most other of my pages have sections that I have added using a decimal point. I won't ever be able to edit an existing page again without losing all the data in the sections that were added by using a decimal.

I don't know if anything can be done about this if this really is the reason.

OK, it's not that. Maybe it's every page that has a section that was added using the a different editor (which is all pages before the new editor was implemented) if you now try to use the new editor?

Here is a link to a test page and as you can see I lost the sections that didn't use decimal points:

https://www.summitpost.org/new-editor-test-page/1028266

The only thing I did here was add some sections using an editor that was not the new one. Then I went to the new editor and those sections disappeared. Strangely, some of those sections that disappeared aren't even the ones that were added.

This is bad news for any page that was created before using the new editor. I hope it can be fixed.

I don't know what this means: "using decimal points for page display". Can you send me a link to a page for an example?

Ah, right. I vaguely remember coding that like over 10 years ago now. I think I am starting to understand the issue a bit better.

Well, that doesn't make sense. All of the HTML should be in the database and will be pulled out when as the page is being edited. I will need a link to an example page to be able to debug this and see what is happening. Can you provide a link to a page where you've used decimals for sections so that I can take a look?

Scott wrote:The only thing I did here was add some sections using an editor that was not the new one.

Which editor did you use? And how exactly did you add the sections? Can you post a link to a page in which the sections will be compromised if it is edited in the new editor? That way I can take a look at the underlying HTML and figure out what is happening.

Anything can be fixed!! I just need to fully understand the problem, which I don't think I do yet. But I will work until I do

Here:

https://www.summitpost.org/new-editor-test-page/1028266

I don't want to mess with my existing pages because I will lose the sections. The decimal doesn't seem to affect it though.

I used the ancient editor to add the sections using the "Add Another Section" selection at the bottom of edit page mode. All my pages were done using this method because that's how you used to do it. Now I can't edit any pages that weren't added in the new editor without losing sections.

Notice that I lost the following sections:

Getting There
Route
New Section; Display Order 3.5

You can mess around with the test page above and you can see the missing sections.

Here is an old page where I lost the sections several times while trying to edit:

https://www.summitpost.org/mount-scenery/151074

The page was created back in 2002 and I adopted it recently. I lost the sections that the old maintainer added.

Scott wrote:Here:

That page already has been modified to the point it is broken. I need one that isn't broken yet, but will break when pulled into the new editor.

Scott wrote:I don't want to mess with my existing pages because I will lose the sections.

Please post a link to one that you believe will break with the new editor. I promise I won't save and break the page!

It's all pages.

There are none where this doesn't happen.

I just opened this page in the new editor:
https://www.summitpost.org/adobe-mesa/153315

It looked fine in the new editor. I saved it and it looks the same as it did before. Is this page an exception? If not, can you show me what broke?

Did you add another section? That's when everything gets messed up. If you add another section using the old editors, it will be all messed up in the new editor.

It happened to the pages I messed with, even the old ones, so you might not even have to add a new section.

Unfortunately, for me at least, it only shows up after the page is edited and saved. It looks find before it's saved.

Is there anyway to save a copy the Adobe Mesa page and edit it and then try and save?
