Editable Reblogs Bug When Adding Images to Posts

Hey, all! This announcement is just to let you know that we’re aware of a bug with Editable Reblogs causing posts to disappear if an image is included using the “camera” button on a new line. This seems to once again be rooted in Tumblr’s rather brittle parsing strategy; we hope to have a fix ready by sometime tomorrow.

In the meantime, one workaround that seems to be effective is dragging and dropping images directly into the post.

Updates on this bug can be found at https://github.com/new-xkit/XKit/issues/523.

As always, feel free to contact us with any questions.

okay we’re back

thanks for sticking with us!

tumblr code is hard and frustrating and unfortunately neither of the people testing it tend to use the HTML editor by default. thanks for putting up with our flubs while we try to keep your posts sane <3

anyway, both the Rich Text and HTML editors are now in tip-top condition. make sure that you’re on Editable Reblogs 2.1.2. versions before that will not work properly.

you can update Editable Reblogs early (before it gets updated automatically by XKit) in the XKit menu.

as always, let us know if you have any issues: either in our support chat or on github.

Invalid Editor Problem with Editable Reblogs 2.1.x

We have gotten lots of reports that, even if you are using Rich Text as your default post editor, it still says Invalid Editor type.

The message looks like this

Worry not, as we are already working on a fix for this error, as well as the HTML reblog problems that cause it to happen in the first place.

Until the update is out we strongly advise that you disable Editable Reblogs

Fixing Missing Posts

Editable Reblogs v2.1.0 has just been released. This should resolve the issues mentioned in our previous post regarding Tumblr parsing changes which rendered ER posts invisible on the dash because it did not recognize the text as representing reblogs.

This update should resolve issues for anyone using the Rich Text editor or HTML editor as their default. In other words it should no longer require any manual changes by the user and you should just be able to hit the post button as normal. As always, if you’re having problems come to our live chat or stop by our askbox or github issues page

After updating to the new extension, you can also fix your old posts. First, find the post on your posts page, then click the edit button. Finally, confirm that the post looks correct and press submit. The post should automatically update to display correctly. If it doesn’t, drop us a line.

Happy Tumbling!

(Side note, there’s a small catch to all of this: Those using the Markdown editor will currently have problems using Editable Reblogs for now, although we hope to resolve this soon. In the meantime, switch to using the Rich Text or HTML editor by default)

EDIT: Should be deployed now, sorry everyone. These changes can be found in version 2.1.0 of Editable Reblogs—make sure you’re on that version before reporting any issues.

Problem with reblogs not appearing on dashboard

It recently came to our attention that entire reblog sections of posts just disappear when viewed on the dash. We traced the issue back to tumblr changing their reblog chain detection yet once again and are currently working on adding a fix to Editable Reblogs to automatically clean this up.

In the meantime we have found a workaround for already affected posts:

Go to the HTML editor and to every link in the reblog chain add 

class=‘tumblr_blog’

with SINGLE QUOTES.

Be sure to use single quotes (apostrophes), as Tumblr’s parsing will strip the class out if it has double quotes.

Again, we are working on an Editable Reblogs update shortly which will do this automatically.

Resolution for People Unable to Update Editable Reblogs on Firefox

We have located a solution for those people who have the Editable Reblogs extension installed on New XKit on Firefox, but were having trouble updating it from 1.0.9 to 2.0.0 (now 2.0.1).

It is likely, if you were encountering this problem, that you are running on one of the 7.6.x versions of New XKit, and Firefox has not auto-updated you to 7.7.0 because the extension is unsigned (we’re working on this but it’s a separate issue).

Note: If you are on 7.5.x or below, you are on the old XKit which we do not support, and need to uninstall it completely and install the extension from the link below instead.

What you will need to do is manually update to 7.7.0 by going to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-xkit/ and clicking “Add To Firefox” – this will install 7.7.0 over your existing copy of New XKit and will maintain all your existing settings. After it is installed, you may need to close and reopen your browser to get XKit to work again.

Once you’re on 7.7.0 of the main New XKit extension, open your XKit control panel, navigate to the Editable Reblogs control panel, click Update, and confirm that you have updated to version 2.0.1!

Issues Updating Firefox to Latest Version of Editable Reblogs

Just as a heads-up – we are experiencing reports of people having trouble force-updating to the most recent version of Editable Reblogs (and possibly other extensions) in Firefox. We’re still trying to nail down what would cause this and will hopefully have a fix soon.

To be clear: if you have version 2.0.0 or newer, you’re fine. This is for people who are still stuck on 1.0.9. If you’re not sure, try updating all of your extensions from the XKit Menu (under “Other”) before doing anything else—you just may not have gotten the update yet.

In the meantime – updating definitely works on Chrome, and some people have had luck with a full uninstall and reinstall of XKit from their browsers to bring things up to date. (You can find a guide for saving your settings to XCloud at http://new-xkit-extension.tumblr.com/post/126630096169/how-the-fuck-do-i-use-xcloud-a-troubleshooting).

We will update further on this situation when we know more.

Thanks!

(Additionally, if you are on 2.0.0., please make sure that you uninstall the temporary greasemonkey script that was floating around—I have no idea how they’re going to interact)

Anonymous asked:

i'm having trouble finding the feature of editable reblogs even though i've kept up with the xkit updates. is it under tweaks or something else?

It’s a separate extension that you can install from the Library.

hymdall asked:

A small issue that I can't reliably replicate and am unsure if others have had issues with: When I sometimes reblog posts, the title(the big bolded text at the top)remains, but all the things below it in the actual post disappear. I am using the most recent version of Firefox, and only have Blacklist, Editable Reblogs, and Tag Viewer enabled, as well as the other box standard Xkit stuff(Xinbox ect ect)

Can you provide a post or two that tend to trigger the behavior? If you have a Github account or are willing to create one, I’ve filed https://github.com/new-xkit/XKit/issues/211 to track this issue. This is definitely a high priority for us to fix and if you can tell us your operating system and default Tumblr text editor it will be much easier for us to fix the issue. I’m answering this publicly in the hopes that other people with this issue can comment.

stanaxkatics asked:

About the deleting things when reblogging/doubling it, for me that happened at first bc I had the tampermonkey/greasemonkey script installed before you guys finished your super awesome fix. Potentially people still have both scripts working against each other?

Posting for others with this issue.
