not always updated

[Hube2]

The content in the text field submitted when updating a post does not always get updated before the post is submitted. No idea what's causing this yet.

It has something to do with this yabwe/medium-editor#942

If I use a standard button after using a custom MediumButton then the field gets updated. But if I use the custom button last then that update is not recorded.

I asked a question here https://github.com/arcs-/MediumButton/issues/14, we'll see what happens. I can't see where I can apply the changes suggested in the medium editor issue to the medium button code.

I've hacked something together for this, for anyone that happens. For anyone that happens upon this in the future looking for to solve a similar problem. At least I think this solves the problem, need to do some more testing to be sure.

// instantiate MediumEditor
// this is from the docs there
var editor = new MediumEditor(selector, object);
// get the id value of the editor just created
var editorId = editor.elements[0].id;
// get this element in a form that we can pass back to medium editor as the target
var target = document.getElementById(editorId);
// get the textarea that for this editor
// in my case there is only one because each one has a unique ID
var targetObj = document.getElementById('my-unique-id');
// attach action DOMSubtreeModified to the editor
$('#'+editorId).bind('DOMSubtreeModified', function(e) {
    // force medium editor to update/refresh
    editor.events.updateInput($target, $targetObj);
});
