Process Gallery Javascript error

I upgraded to FW Pro 5 a while ago and today when I went to process a new Gallery, it gave me a Javascript “functionStr.replace is not a function” error.

What am I missing here?

Hi - have you moved the Gallery Action (and the Themes folder) to the Freeway 5 Actions folder?

Yes, I did.

That error really doesn’t tell me much about what could have caused the problem. As I can’t see your machine or what you are doing, is there anything else you can tell me to see if I can guess what could be going on?

It sounds as if the Action is not properly installed. Please check that it really is in the Freeway 5 Actions folder.

Most of the problems I have seen with my Actions with people who have Freeway 4 and have moved to 5 have been down Actions not being in the correct Freeway 5 Actions folder. The Gallery Action relies on a lot of support files which are in the Action’s bundle, so the Action has to be physically present in the correct Actions folder.

This is a guess based on the information you have given.

Thanks Paul
I ended up going into the archives for a version of the website before the first one using Gallery. I added new galleries using the Gallery Action to that and changed the other parts of the site as necessary and it all worked without a hitch.

Hi Paul,

I think I’m getting a similar issue. When I built my site in FW4 my Actions were fine and now in FW5.1.1, I am encountering “known Javascript errors”, particularly with ‘Text Link Style’.

I looked for Actions in FW4 - although I was sure I had brought them over to the relevant folder following the upgrade - and found nothing that wasn’t already in FW5 Actions folder.

Any ideas?

None from your description, I’m afraid. It’s hard to work out what’s going on from these errors as they stand.

I need to see the error happening myself which is why I ask for repeatable steps. I need to know a lot more about how you moved the file from FW4 to 5 and how/where the Action is before, during and after.

What happens if you remove the Action from the table and reapply it?
