Markitup editor not working on blog

Hi there,

I've noticed that the markitup toolbar isn't showing up in admin part of my blog posts. What's weird is that it works fine in other templates of my site that aren't related to the blog app.

So for example, in post.html

<perch:block type="text" label="Text">
   <div class="container">
       <h3><perch:blog id="heading" type="text" label="Sub Heading" required="true" title="true" /></h3>
       <perch:blog id="content" type="textarea" label="Text" editor="markitup" />
   </div>
</perch:block>

The editor toolbar doesn't show up but if i use the exact same block in another template (not the blog) and switch out the perch:blog for perch:content then the tool bar shows up fine.

Just wondering if there is a bug or if there is something wrong with my blog core files?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Was this a fresh install of 2.8.4 or an update? If an update, did you also update markitup at the same time?

Thanks for getting back to me, Drew.

It was a fresh install of the blog app from a few weeks ago.

It's strange how it only happens on the blog, could it be the core files related to the app?

Was Perch itself an update - not the Blog App? If so did you also update the MarkItUp Editor in Perch Core?

Hi Rachel,

No everything was a fresh instal - it's a new site development.

I haven't had to update anything as of yet.

Ok, I see it too. I don't have a fix for you but I do have a workaround. Add editor="markitup" to your excerpt field, too.

Worked like a charm, Drew. Much appreciated! :)

Is that something i'll need to keep in mind for the future or is this a bug that will be addressed in future updates?

It's a bug, but still worth keeping in mind until I have a fix.
