TinyMCE keeps showing save progress bar.

With TinyMCE activated the save button keeps on showing a progress bar even if it’s saved, I always need to reload to get out of it. Once I turn TinyMCE of in the system settings it works fine again.

Yeah, I’ve been getting this too, with MODx Revo 2.0.7 and 2.0.8. When you save a document in the manager, the ’Please Wait Saving...’ progress bar just stays there forever, looping round and round. Refreshing the page makes it go away.

When you’re editing a template or snippet (and therefore not using TinyMCE), saving works fine.

It appears to be browser related. I had the same problem, tried it in different browsers and had the following result: It works fine in Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Explorer. Not in Opera though, so I don’t edit in Opera anymore

Anything in the MODx error log?

Actually, yes! Didn’t really check it earlier. Guess I should have. Here it is:

It looks like one of your form customization rules doesn’t get along with TinyMCE. Do you have a rule that affects a rich text field? That would be the first place to look.

I actually had no real content on the site in question, no forms or such. I had only done some fiddling about with basic settings related to Furls and installed TinyMCE. Interestingly enough, I get the same error log even when I make a completely new installation, even before I install TinyMCE.

I suspect there might be a problem with MySQL on the server, which is running 5.0.67. I’ll try some other manouvers!

Maybe this isn’t even related to the topic anymore, but then again, maybe it is

Yes, I’m seeing this too - on a fresh install of MODx Revolution 2.0.8-pl (traditional), without TinyMCE installed at all. I’m using various versions of Chrome(ium) - currently Chromium 12.0.733.0 (81064) on Ubuntu 10.04, mysql 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10, php 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.7

If I clear the error log, then edit a page and save it, making the Save progress bar go forever, I get this in the MODx Error Log:



This is repeatable, it would seem. Note that I don’t have phpThumbOf installed - I haven’t installed any packages at all on this install yet - it’s not far off being blank.

Check the permissions on the core/cache directory.

I’m not 100% sure what they’re supposed to be set to, but on this install, /core/cache/ is set to 0777/drwxrwxrwx. the subfolders and files are like this:
