[2.13] Can't paste xml text for a button in the XML tab of PE
|
That is. It started in 2.11, but seems no one else has this bug.
In one of my threads for 2.10 I had suggest in the untitled session paste some xml on XML Tab for newly-created button. The sample was like this
| Code: |
<button name="btnFighting" type="Toggle" variable="valFighting" transparent="false" priority="10" id="1">
<caption>btnCaption</caption>
<value>//Comment
#IF (0 < 2) {#NOOP}</value>
<tooltip>Character state (Fighting, not fighting)</tooltip>
<state caption="btnFighting" color="red">//Comment
#IF (1 > 0) {#NOOP}</state>
</button>
|
It work perfect. But since 2.11 if I gonna paste almost anything in the XML tab, immediately upon leaving this tab xml or clicking Save CMUD resets XML field to its default value. For button in the untitled session it is <button priority="10" id="1"/>
Sometimes the same is true and for other settings type, but that cases are rare.
Can anyone suggest me what I must check else in this situation? I have run out of ideas. |

I'm seeing this as well, from copying what you have there, pasting onto the XML tab of a new button, and clicking Save Changes.

No, it's not a bug. Your XML is wrong. In your VALUE tag you have this:
| Code: |
<value>//Comment
#IF (0 < 2) {#NOOP}</value> |
Notice the < character...that character is invalid within an XML tag. You need to use & lt; (without the space), or put it within a CDATA tag.
Put the
#IF (0 < 2) {#NOOP}
code into the Script of a new button and then click the XML tag and you will see how it is properly converted. If you are going to use XML, you need to understand how to create valid XML text. When you paste your original text, notice the color highlighting for the XML in the editor. Notice that the /value closing tag is not colored blue like it should be for a valid tag. |

Doh! I havn't noticed that browser in my original thread substituted "& lt/& gt" with </> signs (originally they were "& lt/& gt" exactly!). 
But this leads me to question: is it the right way to clear ALL text in the XML tab if there *at least one* invalid xml character? This CMUD behaviour was changed somewhere around 2.11; were there any reasons to do that (if they are not secret  )? |

CMUD doesn't store the XML directly. When you paste the XML and then save it, the XML is imported into the actual settings, and then the XML is recreated (exported) from the setting to display it. So when there is an XML error, CMUD has no way to generate the original text that you entered.
This has never changed, so I'm not sure how it would have worked in 2.11. |
