Hi, we are using Subforms in Joomla to provide dynamic block-style layouts for our clients (so that they can add, edit, delete and sort blocks of content). However there is one big issue: When creating editor-fields, as soon as you start to drag the subform-row, all the content inside editor-fields in that row will be eliminated instantly. The joomla-devs know about this issue a long time, but don't care: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/issues/24343 So we tried to fix it on our own, modifying two javascript files: - media/system/js/subform-repeatable.js: We modified its code so that a subform-row-sort event gets triggered everytime a user drags a subform-row:

// bind move button
		if(this.options.btMove){
			this.$containerRows.sortable({
				items: this.options.repeatableElement,
				handle: this.options.btMove,
				tolerance: 'pointer',
				stop: function(event, ui) {
					var $row = ui.item[0];
					self.$container.trigger('subform-row-sort', $row);
				}
			});
		}

And media/editors/tinymce/js/tinymce.min.js, inside the setupEditor function we add a condition wich eliminates the editor prior to rebuilding it if it exists alread:

if (element) {
				// We already have the Target, so reset the selector and assign given element as target
				options.selector = null;
				options.target   = element;

				var editor = tinymce.get(element.id);

				if (editor) {
					editor.remove();
					delete Joomla.editors.instances[element.id];
				}
			}

That way drag-and-drop works inside subforms, but only using the tinymce editor wich is aweful & terrible. We tried to figure out if there is any way to fix this behaviour with jce... Can you help us? Thanks in advance Best regards

Hi Ryan,

thanks for your response.
Tried it, unfortunately it didn't work, i attached two videos, one the behaviour with the jce-beta, the other with the tinymce (wich i fixed).
Maybe i need to do other adjustments to the joomla-script?

Thanks for your help!
Best regards

Hi Ryan,

ah, you're the same ryan like the one on the joomla-repo on github =D
I already use the stop-event (as a matter of fact, i requested the change in the pr on github).
And the same setup works with the crappy standard-tinymce, wich i modified as mentioned in the first post. =/

Best regards

I've just setup a new testing environment with a clean joomla-installation to exclude possible problems because of modifications i may did to the old testing site:

- Joomla 3.9.19
- JCE Beta (installed and set as default editor)
- created a content plugin wich shows a repeatable subform in joomla-articles
- created a simple module with repeatable editors
- applied the pr-modifications on the subform-repeatable.js

But it still does not work =/
Can i send you the login to the test-site?

Thanks
Best regards

Hi,

thanks! I've added the module and content-plugin to the zip.

Hi Ryan,

thanks! That did it!!! =)

Best regards
