Extended Entry Marker (Jump Break) And The 'Save' Button

Google's Blogger calls it a "jump break". But Raven/Raven+ calls it an "Extended Entry Marker". What it does, anyway, is to show a summary of your blog post at your Blogger blog's homepage, while providing a link, "Read more >>", to your entire post, which your audience can read in its entirety if s/he so desires.

A Bug

I always include a "jump break" in every one of my blog post. Problem is, I always do it as the last thing after composing my post (sometimes even after publishing it) mostly because of my absentmindedness.

There is this problem with the Raven/Raven+ editor - it does not enabled the 'Save' button (if it was disabled previously) after inserting a "jump break"/"Extended Entry Marker". This is rather annoying as I then have to insert a 'junk' character to enable the 'Save' button, then delete this 'junk' character before saving my now modified post. A prime target for getting this bug fixed here.

The Fix

Finding the part of the code in Raven+ where this bug resides was a bit difficult. It took me about 2 hours to hunt it down in all. But the fix is easy. All that is needed is just one line of code.

Below is the modification that I have made to the function insertExtendedEntryMarker(), found in the class 'ZMSHTMLBlogPostEditControl' in the file

zoundry\blogapp\ui\editors\blogeditorctrls\mshtmlblogposteditcontrol.py

The additional code that I have added to fix this problem is in RED.

====== BEGIN ======

    def insertExtendedEntryMarker(self):
        mshtmlElem = self._getMshtmlControl().getSelectedElement(True)
        if mshtmlElem:
            marker = ZMshtmlExtendedEntryMarkerProxy()
            marker.insertExtendedEntry( mshtmlElem )

            # Chuah TC: 2016 Dec 13 
            # Enable the 'Save' button. 
            self._fireContentModifiedEvent() 
            # --- Chuah TC ---

    # insertExtendedEntryMarker()

====== END ======
