Comments not showing in rev 554

Question

Hi I've got a fresh install of rev 554 and whenever I post a comment it's never shown. I know it gets posted because I can edit it but even if I do so, it fails to show. It's also not a db problem because I created a test database with a new user just to try it.

Looking at the html displayed there's nothing there just

<textarea name="comment"></textarea>

Which is where I think the comment text should go. As you can see in the following image there are two comments by myself but no text is shown.

PS: The screenshot is in spanish but I also did try with the unmodified svn version and got the same results.

There are two versions of the markdown parser. One is a fork of the other, so they have a very similar api. If you had to do that, is because you have the wrong one installed.The one you should be installing is in http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/. Pay attention to path conflicts too.

I figured it out. On /trunk/forum/markdownext/mdx_limitedsyntax.py on line 1 it says:

   `import markdown`

but it should say:

   `import markdown as md`

Thanks Hernani, your comment pointed to the right direction.

hum, so you're probably using some different version. But glad it worked.

Nope. I'm using the version I downloaded from http://svn.osqa.net/svnroot/osqa/trunk which says rev 554

No, I mean a different markdown version :)

I don’t see how that hack would help. The markdown package is referenced as markdown in that file, not md. Didn’t help for me, anyway.

markdown2 seems to be the solution

After installing markdown2 library I changed all calls to "markdown2" from "markdown" in those 2 files:

forum/markdownext/mdx_settingsparser.py
forum/markdownext/mdx_limitedsyntax.py

for example:
import markdown > import markdown2
class LimitedSyntaxExtension(markdown.Extension): > class LimitedSyntaxExtension(markdown2.Extension):

Works ok for me. Hope there are no side effects for this :)

Shouldn't it be fixed in source code or am I getting something wrong?
