Page editor scrollbar does not lock in

  • Hi,

    editing longer pages is impossible with WPGlobus. The editor content will expand to contain all the post text, HOWEVER when scrolling down, the editing toolbar (B, I, U and other buttons) will not stay on top for any other language than the first language.

    I have narrowed the issue down to the following:
    – WordPress has a javascript code for stickiness in editor-expand.js
    – However, this code relies on the fact that there is only one editor (e.g. all HTML elements are referenced via their respectable IDs)
    – WPGlobus javascript magic duplicates the edit elements (#wp-content-wrap, #wp-content-editor-tools) for each successive language

    The corollary is that the navigation sticks to the top of the page for the first language only.

    I don’t know what would be the best way to fix it, but I can see two possible solutions:
    – Fix WordPress itself to reference the elements via class attribute instead of id
    – Replicate WordPress javascript in WPGlobus for all the other languages
    – Fix WPGlobus so that it doesn’t use multiple editors, but keep one editor only and switch content via javascript on language change

  • Hi @boky8,

    > Fix WordPress itself
    That’s definitely not an option ??

    > Fix WPGlobus so that it doesn’t use multiple editors
    Very unlikely. Interfacing with TinyMCE…

    > Replicate WordPress javascript in WPGlobus for all the other languages
    That’s a possibility. Would you like to give it a try and submit a PR to our Github?

    Thank you!

    Franky,

    I believe that option 3 is the one that’s most likely to break. It’s going to be highly dependent on the WordPress version and will probably need to be fixed with every new release of wordpress.

    Short term I would do option 2 by replacing WPGlobus tabs with a drop-down and keep just one editor.

    Long term I’d try to patch WordPress javascript and try to get the patch in.

    I’m afraid though, that I cannot be of much assistance with the fix, though – my PHP knowledge is a bit rusty and WordPress API ecosystem still a compete mystery.

    At least, we are trying our best and improving with each and every release ??

    One day, we’ll solve this problem, too.
