Wysiwyg - vb 4.1.4 - no icons

[restawhile]

Has anyone had this problem? : Just upgraded our forums to 4.1.4 and the Wysiwyg Editor icons (Bold, Insert Pic, Link etc...) are not showing. I've checked the resources loaded at page load and the icons are there however all our users can see in the editor are white squares which hold the icons.

Anyone experiencing similar problems or could suggest a fix please?

Thanks

Make sure you uploaded all the images. Specifically images/editor/sprite.png

I had this issue with on of my custom skins and all i did was deleted the editor folder from that skin and uploaded the new editor folder from 4.1.4 that i downloaded and that fixed my issue. if u using custom skin try this. it helped me not sure if it will help u :)

Hello,

I have the same problem in V4.1.4 (update from V3.8.0). I don't see any icons at the top of the editor.

Specifically images/editor/sprite.png
That's okay in my directory.

If I write some text in the editor and I clicked a smily on the right side - nothing happens!

Check to make sure all your files are uploaded and not giving errors. When I have seen issues like your editor, it was because the javascript files were giving server errors and thus not readable and then you get no editor.

Hi Lynne,

of course, it's a javascript problem. I tested now with IE 8. This are the error (in German):

What can I do?

I would make sure you have uploaded ALL the files for your site.

But I do it tomorrow again. Thanks for Your very fast answer! :up:

Hello Lynne,

it was the wrong URL in vboptions (click (https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/345349-Help!-What-would-suddenly-make-all-my-icons-buttons-in-the-advanced-editor-not-work?p=1946854&viewfull=1#post1946854)) :(

Thanks a lot!

I got the same problem after moving my forum root folder to a different unix account. Firefox error console says

Error: The stylesheet http://<path_to_my_forum_root/clientscript/vbulletin_css/style0009l/forumbits.css,forumhome.css,widgets.css,sidebar.cs s,option.css,tagcloud.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css"

This is a strange error. I took a look at one of the css files in the list in the error. I noticed strange things: for example, in forumbits.css the urls are wrong:
.forumhead{background:#FFF url(http://<my_old_url>/images/buttons/newbtn_middle.png)

From here I found my solution:

Change owner of the clientscript/vbulletin_css to that of web server
In vbulletin control panel, search in template, find forumbits.css by name. Open it and save. This is just to trigger vbulletin to update css files under clientscript/vbulletin_css
Problem solved.

It wasted 2 hours of my time, +++++ing and swearing :D
