Upgraded to J1.5.15 - Unable to add new reviews.

I just upgraded my Joomla version from 1.5.10 to 1.5.15, and now I am unable to successfully "Add" or "Save" new reviews. If you click on either buttons nothing happens, it does not redirect - it simply doesn't connect or anything else.

In the URL bar at the bottom of the web-browser it indicates: ....../administrator/index2.php# (contains: # at the end of link). I also decided to override all of the files with 2.1.2C - and still the same problem.

I also noticed another problem - after upgrading the link, image bar, etc are now blank pages.

Here is an example;

Screen2: http://image.bydice.com/out.php/i569_simplereviewerror.jpg

Thanks.

Hi,

I think this has to do with the WYSIWYG editor.

I have just tested on Joomla 1.5.15 and it works with a fresh installation, but I do see other people are having similar problems with other components:

What is your Joomla setting for 'Default WYSIWYG Editor'?

Please let me know.

Thanks

When i first installed the J1.5.10 it was TinyMCE (in a package with the template) - when i upgraded 1.5.15 these problems began. Could it be the editor?

Hey guys, I do not know if this may be related but I have a suggestion to look at. In version 1.5.12 they upgraded Tiny MCE to the newest version and during that process the "default" configuration got changed and many people had problems.

I had upgraded from 1.5.9 to 1.5.14 a while back and it broke nearly all of my websites until I fixed it. Again, this may not be the problem (as the error did not involve saving but rather with poor code generation) but you should check it anyways since you have upgraded from a version before to a version after 1.5.12.

Goto plugin manager and find the tiny mce plugin. Under its configuration change the "functionality" to extended, "code cleanup on startup" to off and "code cleanup on save" to never. This fixes the tiny mce bug.

--------------------------------------------------

Also, I have been backing up and restoring some of my websites lately and have come across 2 situations that resulted in me clicking save for some components and having nothing happen.

#1) If the original site specified var $live_site = 'http://www.mydomain.com'; in configuration.php and for some reason after the update it got changed to: var $live_site = ''; (empty) then this will cause some of the components to do nothing on save as it will try to execuse the save function on the URL "(empty)" rather than on mydomain.com.

#2) You probably don't have this, and it wouldn't be affected by a joomla update anyways but - if you have virtumart installed its configuration has live site url and secure site url entries. If these are wrong (or they do not end in a slash) then you will also have some problems. Also keep in mind that there are many extensions for joomla. Perhaps you are using one that can affect others.... jacl, juga, etc.

Hope this helps.

Seems to be the editor that was playing up. I have since installed a new one (CKEditor.2.0) and the errors or problems have been solved - from what I can see.

ok well good luck on your future work. Just know that tiny isnt broken its just probably misconfigured.

I would like to get TinyMCE to work again, but cant seem it do it. I have copied files from a 1.5.15 and overridden them to see if it works - but no results. I have also downloaded 3.2.7 from the website and created another folder "tinymce" in the plugins folder and placed all the contents - but unable to get the editor for TinyMCE to work.

[NRyan115]

Ok, well did you do like I suggested and change the configuratin to extended and code cleanup to never?

Did you try this:

I can not Save or Cancel articles while editing in front end

- download the tinymce.zip file, see below
- unzip the file
- replace the file located at: plugins/editors/tinymce.php

Also... try installing the JCE editor. It is based on tiny mce but seems better. I am going to switch al of my sites to it this week.

[cgenetwork]

Yeah I tried a few things but failed to get TinyMCE running properly. Instead I have installed another editor which seems to be doing the job.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

What problems have you had with jQuery?
I have noticed once or twice that it has failed to load (refreshing fixes it), so I am thinking I will include it rather than link to the jQuery site.

[NRyan115]

Can I suggest that you also add an option in the backend to choose whether to load it or not? A feature rich website with many other extensions may already have a component that loads it. Heck, even some commercial templates might have it built in. Having more than 1 component load jquery or moo tolls - especially if they are different versions - may cause other problems.

There is already an option for not loading jQuery, but I guess there is a problem if the site already includes jQuery 1.3 but I include and use features from the recently released 1.4...so for now I will include 1.4 but only use 1.3 features.

Sort of jumped the gun on this. There is indeed an option to turn off jQuery but it is currently hidden from the user, I will add this in the next release.

Yes I had problem with jQuery. Refreshing fixed problem. 

And its important to have button turn on and off jQuery, I allready use jquery on my website.

There should be no conflicts are the moment as it is only loaded on some of the admin pages
