So I have been using couch for a long time now, and while I have used repeatable regions before, I am not sure if I have ever used them with type richtext. The problem is in the dashboard the richtext editor does not show.

Richtext type is working outside of repeatable region on the page. I tested that. I also tested if I switch it out for plain text, or nicedit that also works fine, but richtext looks like the following.



Any ideas what is going on?

My code at this point is simply...

Code: Select all

<cms:repeatable name='service_section' >
         <cms:editable name="service" type="richtext"></cms:editable>
</cms:repeatable>

Unfortunately, type richtext doesn't work with repeatable regions. That's what nicedit is for. It's a richtext editor specifically meant for repeatable regions.

Now I go back to the documentation, and search the repeatable regions and find the bit about richtext. Somehow I missed that. It must be because it is in a yellow box to help it stand out.

It makes sense. It might be nice if a message was displayed there in the dashboard when someone trys to use it, about richtext being unsupported, for those of us who have trouble reading the documentation thoroughly.

Since I really need to be able to repeat a region with richtext but only up to 3 or 4 times, I will just do it like before repeatable regions were a feature, and hard code them all.
