Category Information
- On this page, I have a NewPage module: http://www.wdeditor.com/fb:_start
- It creates pages in the 'fb' category, which has a template at http://www.wdeditor.com/fb:_template
- Autonumbering for that category is enabled.
Problem
I cannot create a regular page in the 'fb' category. Whether you use the NewPage module, or directly do it via URL (http://www.wdeditor.com/fb:test/edit/true), or go to a non-existent page and create it from the link … I don't even reach the editor. It just continues to load over and over again, never finishing.
This occurs on Windows 8 Professional, and Mac OS X Lion. It occurs with Google Chrome 23, Mozilla Firefox 15 and Internet Explorer 10.
Editing any hidden page (fb:_start, fb:_template, or fb:_test) works fine. Editing non-hidden/normal pages causes the constant page loading issue.
Google Chrome's console reports this error when the reloading problem is occurring:

I found this in the Firebug console when I tried to adda feature request:
It looks like the hint text in one of the fields in your data form may be the problem.
Edit: I just noticed your description field is set to text, but you intended to allow full wiki syntax. Perhaps changing the type to wiki will fix this.

Thanks for the tip.
This is the offending field:
The problem was the line break (\n) in the hint. Previously this worked fine, but now it does not and causes the constant page loading issue.

Thanks for noticing that too :) Fixed.
Just tried with field type 'wiki', and a line break is still not able to be used in the hint text, so that's been removed for now.

That means - this is a new behaviour with the existing line break in a "hint" looks like it is time to warn the users in the dataform doc ?

Perhaps wait for Wikidot to respond first. This may be something that can be fixed or changed.
At the very least, even if line breaks are not going to be supported in the hints of Data Form fields, a useful error message would be nice to have as opposed to the problems that it causes at the moment.

I had such error in my last upload for a database update: in a text description field - there were often hidden a linebreak, formfeed, carriage return:
I had to replace it with null or space… :
replace(replace(replace(hint-field, chr(9),''),
chr(10),''),
chr(13),'') as hint-fieldnew,

Fixed, "\n" is now escaped in javascript.
