Editing files in Filemin returns empty editor field

[sz00gun]

I have the latest version of Authentic Theme and Filemin, I cannot edit any of txt/php files. I'm not saying it's a bug.... however,

do others have the same problem? It worked before...

Regards

[iliajie]

I have things working just as expected. Opened PHP file and edited it successfully. Make a video-screencast. What exactly doesn't work for you?

[sz00gun]

Please have a look the screencast at: http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/coXTX2hr7m

The only thing that could be happening is that your session is expired. While your trying to access Filemin being unauthorized, it just hangs.

As you reload the page, it should take you to login screen.

I see no left menu? Where is it?

[sz00gun]

Hi,

I'm logged in, the session is OK. There is a left menu, I just cropped it using screen casting. Done some other tests, and still cannot edit files, other Internet Browsers the same... No errors in debugger. Any other idea what to do?

[iliajie]

Any special settings for minserver? What version of Webmin/Filemin you got?

[sz00gun]

No special settings... I guess
Webmin 1.770
Filemin 0.9.6

[iliajie]

What OS browser did you take the screencast?

[sz00gun]

Windows 7 and FireFox v42

If you need screencasts just let me know.

PS. I use also:
Operating system CentOS Linux 7.1.1503
Webmin version 1.770
Virtualmin version 4.18
Theme version Authentic Theme 17.11

[iliajie]

Can you go to console, open Network tab, filter XHR requests only and click edit button in Filemin. What is the server's reply?

[sz00gun]

Well there is no error, however I discovered something... I don't want to publish sensitive server data online, so could you please reply for my email and I will email you full screen cast reply please for: greg121@mailplus.pl of course if needed...

but first have a look this: http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/coXOXwh3Fl

[iliajie]

It seems like stuck cache. Can you clear all browser's cache and stored temporary data. Probably trying in incognito mode?

[sz00gun]

This didn't help. Removed cache using ccleaner + in the browser + open incognito mode, and the problem still there ;(

[iliajie]

I will reload to my test Windows installation to check in Firefox 42. Will come back to you later after that!

[sz00gun]

the latest Opera, Chrome FF not working, I don't think this is Internet Browser related... but who knows...

[iliajie]

redirect cookie belongs to the theme. I have the reset too, it's ok. You shared sid. I would logged out and log in again as soon as possible.

[iliajie]

No, you should not.

I have checked your issue in my Windows installation - all is fine, in all browsers, even in Microsoft Explorer and Edge. I also checked in two versions of Firefox 40 and 42.

I could guess that you're using some extensions that break it.

[iliajie]

Do you use https connection?

[iliajie]

Does regular listing through directories feature work in Filemin?

[iliajie]

Also check in theme settings that you didn't load broken CSS extension!?

[sz00gun]

I use https connection,regular listing through directories feature is working fine in Filemin, and I don't use any custom CSS. I use only 1 additional module, which is csf Firewall.

[iliajie]

I honestly don't see an issue here and don't understand how come it doesn't work only for you!?

[sz00gun]

Thank you for the help. The problem is with my PC, because editing files working on my smartphone using FF Android... I have to format my PC now....

[iliajie]

Alright, I see! I deeply recommend Linux distribution, like Fedora 23, for example!

[sz00gun]

Ohhh noooo, what a crap! I had no problem on Android FF, however I still cannot edit files on stock Internet Browser from Cyanogenmod 5.1.1

It must be a problem with my server (...)

I'll make more tests to find out where the problem is.

[iliajie]

Alright! Let me know if you find anything! Cheers.

[sz00gun]

Not sure what I have done but it is working now for me. I uninstalled the theme including the Filemin, installed it back and it is working. ;) now I can see what I'm editing.

[iliajie]

Good to hear! ;)

[sz00gun]

Got it!
I can retrieve that problem.... and I think this is a bug...

Editing files aren't possible when I start Filemin from the Favorites, and Virtualmin tab is active... When Webmin tab is active editing files are possible ;)

[iliajie]

Great point, pal! Confirmed! I will fix it in 17.21! Thanks!

[Real-Gecko]

Is it a theme bug or Filemin bug?

[iliajie]

This is the theme bug, I think! I see in code.

[Real-Gecko]

Ah, OK :)

[Real-Gecko]

I hope I'll have some time after NY to fix existing FM bugs :)))

[iliajie]

Sure! But in general it works very well. Thank you!

[Real-Gecko]

Well, there're still some major issues :D

[iliajie]

Let's nail it down then! :D

[rodentooth]

I have the same problem, but in some directorys editor works, in some not. I dont know if that matters, but it is a new created sub-domain in which edit is not working.
Please see the youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwCbevHb2c8

[iliajie]

It looks like you simply don't have permissions to read a file. In case you try Gray Theme just to test, what result do you get? The same, right?

[rodentooth]

no in gray theme it shows everything. In the other theme, the code appears like for 100 ms and then dissapear.

[iliajie]

What are the actual URLs that are being requested in case of non-working and working file editor? The easiest way is to open console and take a look at Network tab or switch to Gray Theme and copy link's URL, while hovering on the editor's icon.

[rodentooth]

I deleted the cache of the Browser (Chrome) and then it worked. Thanks for the fast support :)
