          Description

          The HTML editor for wiki comments doesn't work. If you highlight text and click on any of the editor buttons, nothing happens.
          It produces the following javascript error: document.forms.mform1 is undefined
          Source File: http://moodle2.clamp-it.org/lib/javascript.php?file=%2Fmod%2Fwiki%2Feditors%2Fwiki%2Fbuttons.js&rev=160
          Line: 2

          The form ID is "wikiform" but the script references the id "mform1".

              I've reproduced this leaving a comment for both Creole and NWiki pages; HTML appears to be fine.

              This appears to be an outdated reference in wiki_editor.php. I've posted what ought to be a quick fix with no downstream effects.

              This is still broken in 2.1 and is a blocker for MDL-28101. Patch here: https://github.com/mackensen/moodle/compare/master...mdl-25883.

              FYI:
              Javascript is trying to find textarea with id=mform1 /mod/wiki/editors/wiki/buttons.js - Line 23, but while creating wiki editor (/mod/wiki/editors/wiki_editor.php - line 77) we assign id = wikiform.

              Well spotted by Jason

              Thanks guys, this has been integrated now.
              I was in two minds about it to begin with as wikiform is a much better id in this case then mform1, however given the impending wiki change I think there is no harm in this.

              Cheers
              Sam

              I thought the same Sam, but looking at wikieditor (form element) implementation, I changed my mind

              Looks good. I tested in master, 2.2, 2.1, and 2.0 integration branches. I will note that the NWiki page type still throws an error but this is being handled in another ticket according to the testing instructions.
