JavaScript error: Drupal.wysiwyg.plugins is null or not an object

I imagine it's more my problem. I'll take a peak when I can.

I also experience this problem. Additionally i get:

$("#ib_dialog").dialog is not a function

when I click on the Imagebrowser button. I enclose screenshot made with Firebug.

Quick and dirty fix:
add several js lines at the begining of plugins/ib_wysiwyg/ib_wysiwyg_init.js file.
Drupal.wysiwyg = Drupal.wysiwyg || { 'instances': {} };
Drupal.wysiwyg.editor = Drupal.wysiwyg.editor || { 'init': {}, 'attach': {}, 'detach': {}, 'instance': {} };
Drupal.wysiwyg.plugins = Drupal.wysiwyg.plugins || {};

That did not do it for me. Without the dirty fix I get the error:

Drupal.wysiwyg.plugins.imagebrowser = { drupal.wysiwyg is undefined on line 30

With the fix I get:

uncaught exception: [Exception... "Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0" nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)" location: "JS frame :: https://mydomain.com/misc/jquery.js?t :: anonymous :: line 13" data: no]

Line 0

Note: The wysiwyg_init.js is inserted, but it is in head of the page, but it is missing in the head of the editor's iframe! Shouldn't it be inserted there? And when I think of it, may be both should be inserted there?

Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of response. Had an unexpected spell in hospital, but I'm back now.

Is this JS error only seen in IE8 or earlier? I'm not seeing it in Safari or Firefox.

Please let me know your browser, version and operating system. Cheers

I see this error in Safari 4.0.4 and Firefox 3.5.5 both on Mac OS X.

Modifying the ib_wysiwyg_init() function in imagebrowser/plugins/ib_wysiwyg/ib_wysiwyg.module so that the ib_wysiwyg_init.js JavaScript file is included in the footer rather than the head as per default makes the error go away:

function ib_wysiwyg_init() {
  drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'ib_wysiwyg') . "/ib_wysiwyg_init.js", 'module', 'footer');
  drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'ib_wysiwyg') . "/ib_wysiwyg_init.css");
  if(module_exists('jquery_ui')){ jquery_ui_add('ui.dialog'); };
}

This suggests that this is due to the JavaScript being loaded before something it depends on.

Ah I thought the error was causing something not to work. It still works fine, you just get that JS error. It's due to the fact that those files shouldn't even be loaded in the imagebrowser window.

The quickfix is to change this function in ib_wysiwyg.module

function ib_wysiwyg_init() {
  if (arg(0) != 'imagebrowser') {
    drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'ib_wysiwyg') . "/ib_wysiwyg_init.js");
    drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'ib_wysiwyg') . "/ib_wysiwyg_init.css");
    if(module_exists('jquery_ui')){ jquery_ui_add('ui.dialog'); };
  }
}

A better fix is needed however to intelligently load the ib_wysiwyg_init.js file on any page which has a wysiwyg editor loaded.

Neither my modification in comment 8 above, not that in comment 9 fixes this issue in all cases. I still get the ib_wysiwyg_init.js included incorrectly (on the front page, for example).

wysiwyg.module contains the following comment:

// Collect native plugins for this editor provided via hook_wysiwyg_plugin()
// and Drupal plugins provided via hook_wysiwyg_include_directory().

This suggests that both these hooks are only called when the WYSIWYG module is actually being used in a form. I've traced through the code and this seems to be the case.

I moved the three lines in ib_wysiwyg_init() into ib_wysiwyg_wysiwyg_include_directory() instead, and this seems to have fixed the issue: ib_wysiwyg_init.js is included on only those pages that use the WYSIWYG module and the JavaScript error is no more.

awesome work. I'll roll that in :)

sub +1 (feel ashamed everytime I do this)

Hi just stumbled upon this bug as well, it appears in every browsers and is due to the fact that the javascript for the wysiwyg plugin is included in each and every page whereas the wysiwyg javascript (upon which it depends) is only included when necessary.
To correct this I moved the drupal_add_js calls from the ib_wysiwyg_init() to the ib_wysiwyg_imagebrowser_plugin(), it looked more logical than other proposed solutions :)

It was due to the sequence of the js files, ib_wysiwyg_init.js is loaded before ckeditor.js.
#13 should fix it just fine.
