i think i see a pattern its equations inside a table, could that be the problem? -
Quite possibly. I did not see any equations in the table. -
Inappropriate?Here's a screen capture of part of the page. As you can see, the equations are displaying.
-
Inappropriate?I've updated this example to have an equation inside a table.
-
its not working - log out of pbwiki and relook at the example you set up while not logged in. you will see that the equations are not showing up -
Inappropriate?It doesn't work, the equation is not showing up. log out of pbwiki and check it out. it only shows up if you are logged into pbwiki . let me know what you find, this might be a bug.
-
Inappropriate?You are correct! I no longer have access to their bug tracking system, but I will report this via their standard support queue. Thanks for the heads up!
I’m glad it's verified.
-
Inappropriate?Hmm. I'm going to have someone look into this, as I told GF in his ticket, and see if we can't get this fixed.
Thanks for pointing this out! -
thank you so much, its a real issue here. -
Inappropriate?blaor, check this example and see if you can see the equation in the second row. If you can, then I can show you how to fix this (until they get around to fixing it for realz
)
I’m hopeful
-
yes! that worked, what was the workaround? -
did you have to download the equation as a gif and paste the picture? -
if you did, that defeats the purpose of the equation plugin', but i guess that will have to do until they get a fix for this -
See the reply below. Also, there's an email and password on the FrontPage of the Forum Demo Wiki; feel free to login with that email and edit the example page (or invite yourself to the wiki. It's a great sandbox.) -
Inappropriate?yes that works! how did you work around it?
-
Inappropriate?It's a bug in their equation support/WYSIWYG editor. Here's the scoop. Edit your page, then click 'Source'. Find one of the equation plugins that's outside a table (one that works properly); it will look like this:
< p >< img src="/plugin_helper.php?plugin=equation&tex=%5Cint_%7B0%7D%5E%7B1%7D%5Cfrac%7Bx%5E%7B4%7D%5Cleft%281-x%5Cright%29%5E%7B4%7D%7D%7B1%2Bx%5E%7B2%7D%7Ddx%3D%5Cfrac%7B22%7D%7B7%7D-%5Cpi" class="pluginslug" contenteditable="false" isapbwikiplugin="1" >< /p >
Now find one inside the table (one that's broken). It will look like this:
< p >< img src="../../../plugin_helper.php?plugin=equation&tex=%5Cint_%7B0%7D%5E%7B1%7D%5Cfrac%7Bx%5E%7B4%7D%5Cleft%281-x%5Cright%29%5E%7B4%7D%7D%7B1%2Bx%5E%7B2%7D%7Ddx%3D%5Cfrac%7B22%7D%7B7%7D-%5Cpi" class="pluginslug" >< /p >
Notice the second one has '../../..' before the '/plugin'? That's the problem. When you place the equation plugin inside a table, it gets confused about where it is, and places '../../..' at the beginning of the plugin. If you manually remove those offending characters, so that it looks like the working plugins, then it works, as shown in the example.
I hope this helps.
By the way, the solution to this problem was discovered by Casey Greene, the True Support Guru! Thanks!
I’m thrilled

Don'tcha love Get Satisfaction's blockquote styling? -
Inappropriate?Hi,
This may not have been solved. i would like to invite you to my wiki, when i look at the source inside the table i am not seeing the extra ../../../ there. it looks like clean code to me. -
Inappropriate?Well, it looks like all the equations have been manually replaced with .gif images, so it all looks OK now.
-
Inappropriate?I just tested it, and it looks like they've quickly and quietly fixed the problem. You should be able to go back to using the equations (instead of images) inside tables.
-
Check out the wiki page again, they changed something and now you can't see the equations inside the table -
"they changed something" -- Welcome to PBwiki! -
ha ha!!! -
Inappropriate?yes they have! i love it when a plan comes together.
-
Inappropriate?The equations are not working inside the table again for some reason.

Inappropriate?Looking at your source code, it looks like you have some sort of an actual link where the equation should be. I'll try to reproduce this, and get back to you.
-
when i am logged in i see the equations. i can give you a key if you would like. however when i log out and reload the page the equations are no longer there. the problem was fixed for the last 2 weeks, i did not change the page at all. i just checked it again today, and its back -
Inappropriate?you can not copy and paste equations, the wysiwyg editor will allow and show it in edit/preview mode but the underlying mechanisms won't show it on the normal page.
solution: double click the non-showing equations, click 'next' and 'finish', this will solve your problems. -
Why don't you file that as a bug, "Chuck"? -
This is definitely a bug, even if you do cut and paste eventually you have to hit the next finish anyway after you modify the equation.
