Publish function does nothing?

[OyvindLGjesdal]

Hello!

I've installed mermeid 2018.2 and I think the installation is successful, however nothing happens when I try out the publish function.
I have created the public folder.

I've tested the publish.xq script by commenting out let $res := response:redirect-to($return_to cast as xs:anyURI) and adding an additional for loop on $parameters to view its contents, after checking boxes, and it only returns one param as output , 'publishing_action'.

I've also logged on to the demo installation at http://labs.kb.dk/editor/ to verify that it is not only on my local install, authenticated using the test-credentials, and tried to check if the publish works there, but the same issue seems to happen there. Is this a known issue?

Hi!
It's actually kind of a feature, not a bug. See the FAQ: http://labs.kb.dk/editor/manual/faq.html#publishing. Publishing a file correctly copies it to the public folder (I've tested it on the demo right now). That's where MerMEId ends and your custom application is supposed to take over.

I was a bit surprised because I also tested in the demo. However I now managed to publish with Internet explorer and Firefox in both the demo and the test-install, but not with Chrome.

OK, I see the problem now. It seems that something in /editor/js/publishing.js doesn't work in Chrome (the relevant input element is not inserted into <div id="publish">). Peculiar, because selecting "Select all files" and then "Publish selected files" actually does work. Only single file selections don't.
