Hi folks. New to Discourse and playing with plugins before building a new community site in a few weeks…

I’ve added and configured the plugin but when I create event in the post editor, enter details for event and then click “Create”, nothing happens - i.e. no markdown appears in the editor. If I post / save, there’s no sign of an event there. Not sure what I’m missing here?

Hello and welcome @Al_Whitworth 🙂

By any chance, are you using Firefox? I was helping debug a similar issue with that recently:

> [@Event modal doesn't add code to composer in Firefox?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/event-modal-doesnt-add-code-to-composer-in-firefox/283751):
>
> I have trouble creating an event (modal seems to work but create doesn’t paste the code in the composer) on latest 3.2.0.beta3-dev ( [5bd92dd252](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/5bd92dd2527529119c666f65a870a51104e14dd1) ) with firefox 119.0 on windows (but it works fine with chrome), no error in console nor in the admin log. Can anyone confirm this ?

I’m not sure if @Benjamin_D has landed on the exact quirk just yet, but maybe a second report will help narrow it down? 🤞

Not yet ! Unfortunatly… but I’m still looking. I’ve tried the start fresh feature of firefox but no luck…

Many thanks, yes it does seem to be a Firefox issue, fine on Chrome. I’ll dig a bit deeper and see if I can see why it’s doing it.
