One page of my forum is broken: can't edit, can't reply, can't see last post?

[David N.]

Someone replied to an older topic. When I try to see his reply, I can't access it: it takes me to the last page of the topic but I don't see his reply. There is no "Reply to this topic..." box at the bottom and clicking the green "Reply to this topic" doesn't do anything. Clicking the "..." icon at the top right of a post to edit it doesn't do anything. Clicking a checkbox to select a post to moderate it selects the checkbox but does not pop up the moderation control menu. I'm missing the footer at the bottom of that page. 

Other pages of the same topic work as expected, and other topics work as expected. 

Here's the broken page: https://www.logicprohelp.com/forums/topic/118846-logic-pro-x-compressor-circuit-type-cheat-sheet/page/3/

Given the ads on there, I would disable those and test first of all, in case one of those is causing you the issue. If that doesnt work, disable anything that is not stock and test. Failing that, let us know and we can take a closer look

I created a default stock Invision theme. No ads. Disabled all plug-ins. That page is still broken.

Where is the rest of your page? 🙂

 

 

Maybe you should check content (raw - in the database) of that last post and check for errors?

That's basically my question: why is the footer missing, and why is the page malfunctioning. In that last post, the following video should be embedded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tx6SRCwWug

Can you access the db with cloud hosting?

That last post is breaking the HTML:

This looks like the culprit:

<p><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" width="480" data-embed-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1Tx6SRCwWug</iframe></div></div> </p>

Opens the data-embed-src, but doesn't close it, and there is no closing > for the <iframe

It should be:

<p><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" width="480" data-embed-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1Tx6SRCwWug"></iframe></div></div> </p>

Thanks for finding that out @Nathan Explosion. Now how did that happen? And how do I fix it? 

[Nathan Explosion]

Try going direct to the edit page:

https://www.logicprohelp.com/forums/topic/118846-logic-pro-x-compressor-circuit-type-cheat-sheet/?do=editComment&comment=800702

If it works, yay.

If it doesn't then you wait.

 

[David N.]

That worked!!

Still scary though, how could the HTML break like that? 

[Marc Stridgen]

Only really if someone has access to post html and has broken it

No idea...but I will point out that the following is the expected HTML source for an embedded YT video, tested on here:

My chosen video...

<div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo" contenteditable="false">
  <div>
    <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/_RpuFR0KQHI?feature=oembed" title="Lamb of God - “Walk With Me in Hell” - Live @ Bloodstock Festival 2022" width="200"></iframe>
  </div>
</div>

Your video...

<div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo" contenteditable="false">
  <div>
    <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/1Tx6SRCwWug?feature=oembed" title="The Mastering Compressor - Advanced Functions - TDR Kotelnikov Gentleman's Edition" width="200"></iframe>
  </div>
</div>

 

The following is the source from your now fixed embeded video on your site:

<div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo" contenteditable="false">
  <div>
    <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/1Tx6SRCwWug?feature=oembed" title="The Mastering Compressor - Advanced Functions - TDR Kotelnikov Gentleman's Edition" width="200"></iframe>
  </div>
</div>

Maybe you have something installed that is doing something with the submitted content?

But no one (but me) can post HTML and I never use it to edit a post in the forum.

I don't. I just copy pasted the video from YouTube.

I found another broken page: https://www.logicprohelp.com/forums/topic/140230-logic-pro-optimization-distribution-of-threads-on-cpu-cores-on-m1-mac/ -  so something's wrong here. 

@Marc Stridgen if you can look into it that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I would suggest testing this with no 3rd party items enabled, as something there is breaking your content on submitting

I have tested it and I can post videos as expected with or without 3rd party items enabled. The issue was with these two older topics (who knows if there aren't others). 

I haven't added new or removed old 3rd party plug-ins. I have only a minimum setup with 4 simple plug-ins:

Unfortunately all I can say is there is an issue in those topics in which you would need to correct the items. It may well be it was an issue in an older version. You do have at least one item there which is manipulating post content (trim empty lines) so if you do see it happening in the future, I would certainly disable that

Actually "Trim Empty Lines" is just a CSS add-on that hides empty <p> tags, it doesn't manipulate the post content.

Ok so I'll just fix the broken threads I can find manually... but this is a bummer. 

[Marc Stridgen]

That is really the only way in which to fix them, no matter who does it. If you see it happen again however, and can replicate it, let us know and we can take a look. Something is obviously manipulating it as it posts, but given you can post fine now, its likely no longer present

Got it. 

Any idea why even with all plug-ins disabled, when I copy paste the same YouTube link to my forum it adds allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=" — which isn't added to @Nathan Explosion's forum?

Not my forum, as I stated:

...tested on here:

If I test on my forum, those are included too.

Anyway...for reference, those are the default items that are returned by Youtube's oembed endpoint. See https://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URJH3ZJzxB0 and you'll see it in the HTML field.

For further reference...on my own forum:

• YT embeds posted prior to me upgrading to 4.7.9 don't include those elements in the posted content.
• YT embeds posted today include those elements in the posted content.

Possible that YT has started including those in their HTML in the past few days.

Anyway...I'm out. Not overly concerned about the above now that I know the source of it.

Interesting. Actually I see these attributes (gyroscope, accelerometer...) for a video that was posted on my forum in July 2022.
