Validation Failing on Required WYSIWYG Field
-
Ran into this bug on a project I'm working on:
Create a custom fields definition that includes a WYSIWYG field that is marked as required.
Create a new post and enter content into the wysiwyg field.
Click "preview" (instead of saving a draft first)
Even though there is content in the WYSIWYG field, the validation will fail.
After tracking down the flow, it appears that do_validation is just checking the textarea.val(), which is empty because tinyMCE hasn't written content to it yet.
Solution:
At the top of do_validation, I've added the following code to check if a tinyMCE editor is on the screen, and if so, write content to its associated textarea:if ( (typeof tinyMCE != "undefined") && tinyMCE.activeEditor && !tinyMCE.activeEditor.isHidden() ) {
tinyMCE.triggerSave();
}

Hi @Conor,
Great debugging! Yes, I'll add this to the todo and improve the do_validation to actually get the contents of the wysiwyg, not the textarea.
