wet_parachute: "Warn before close" for the content > write screen

wet_parachute is a plugin which enhances the “content > write” screen.

Have you ever lost one of your articles because you inadvertently closed your browser window or navigated away from the article edit screen without saving your changes? wet_parachute issues a warning on such occasions.

Documentation and download.

Mostly when Firefox crashes with too many tabs open ;-) Lucky I’m a save-a-holic.

it restores the caret position after an intermediate save action

Oh now that I like. Nice one, wet. Downloading now.

You da man. Was thinking the same thing, but was still trying to wrap my brain around the way Textpattern does… stuff.

v0.4 fixes a bug which caused spurious warnings with articles containing non-Latin characters.

v0.5 removes one spurious warning which occured whenever an article was saved for the very first time and the article screen was subsequently closed or left.

Re: wet_parachute: "Warn before close" for the content > write screen

I can’t understand why the following is happening:

in a TXP 4.0.6 + MLP (not sure if it is related), in one particular article, after hitting “Save” and then not doing any other change, the “Are you sure?” pop-up appears…

This doesn’t seem to happen for other articles in the same installation.

Re: wet_parachute: "Warn before close" for the content > write screen

That’s a known symptom. I’m not quite sure about the reason, but I suspect that this happens with certain articles, as Textpattern tries to remove trailing white space at the end of the article during a save operation, while wet_parachute still sees even blank lines at the end.

I have one article on my own sites which exhibits this behaviour and will use this to aid debugging, but this task is still waiting for a time slot.

wet_parachute v0.6 works with Textpattern 4.0.7.

What’s the best way to customize the error message? I’d like to provide a little more than “Are you sure”.
