Hello,

This is my first post on this forum so hopefully Im reaching someone that can help me out. I'm using Fabrik 3.0.nn for some months now and I'm very pleased with the great functionality is porvides me. I built a complete application with it and all still works fine. However,some days ago I could not modify or create lists, forms and groups anymore. I've looked at a number of possible causes, but I cannot figure out what happend and how to solve it. I updated the latest version from Github, still no changes. I changed my global user settings from super-admin to something else and than back again, still no change. Could somebody help me out, please? Thanks, Henk


I get a screen saying:

  • ID *
  • Label *
  • Introduction
 
Is this with all browsers?
What is your php memory_limit (Site ->Sytemimformation->PHP Information somewhere in the "Core" part)? It should be at least 64 MB (more doesn't hurt)
 
Thanks for the fast response.

at 1: the problem occurs in botb Firfox and MS IE environments
at 2: I cannot find the exact place to look for this setting, could you give me some hints

thanks, Henk
 
Found it: memory-limit in PHP Core is set to 128M

I'm working with Joomla 2.5.4 and Fabrik 3.0.5 build 268 from Github
 
Can you see any JS errors? (Firefox/firebug or IE dev. tool)

Can you update to latest GitHub and see if this helps (there have been some modifications in list JS handling)?
 
I just re-logged in to the back-end and updated the latest version from Fabrik (not from Github) I still have the same results. I don't know if I have Javascript problems. This is what the page looks like:

No, using Joomla update after a GitHub update is no good idea.
Joomla is updating to the version in the download area, which usually is older than your GitHub version. So in the best case it won't update anything, or it will override newer files with older ones (I don't know).

So update with the recent GitHub (it's always good practice to backup).
JS errors will be shown in console tab of firebug or IE.
 
Oke I updated from Github with 287 and I still have the same problem.

I don't have any JS errors reported by firebug.
 
Today I noticed that I have the same problem with plain Joomla content like adding and modifying articles. So apparently this problem is not Fabrik related. I will look elsewhere for similar problems and potential solutions. Thanks very much for the support.

I have seen this sort of thing with Template Plugins.

I think I had one called 'Helix' and it caused all sorts of weird layouts in the backend.

Check what plugins you have active in the backend. It could be template or another component that is causing conflicts.

Let us know how you get on, always nice to find out what resolves these issues. :)
 
Also check your editor: can you switch to an alternate one or set "no editor" in your profile?
 
Thanks for the tips.
I changed the text editor to 'no editor' but that didn't help.
I have to look into the template otion. I modified the free template Mystique-FJT slightly (some position and color changes). I also noticed that after I try to edit an article/list/group/form/visualization the selected article shows a lock sign in the back-end. Does this mean that I have to look into authorization options?
 
Did you clear the browser cache to get rid of old JS?

Lock sign: normally shows that somebody else is editing/modifying (maybe you and session time has expired), this happens if you are switching to another page without saving or canceling the editor. Do a "Global checking" (Site/Maintenance)
 
Next step is probably to unpublish all 3rd party system plugins. Go to the Plugin manager in J!, filter by type 'system', and unpublish anything which is not a native J! plugin.

If that cures the problem, start republishing them one by one till the problem appears again.

-- hugh
 
(Note that disabling all the Fabrik system plugins will cause Fabrik to puke up errors on any of our admin pages, so don't freak when that happens).

-- hugh
 
Thanks for al the good suggestions, but even this latest one didn't cure the problem. However it triggered me to sort of 'clean-up' the extensions. That also didn't cure the problem. So now I'm building the new website from scratch (I am still working in a development environment on 'localhost'). Sofar this seems to work.
 
I built a complete new J! site from the previous one, leaving out any component of plug-in that I don't use. So apparently you are right some component must have caused the problem.

However, now I have a new problem.

All lists with a pre-filter defined in the data tab, work oke, but I cannot modify the pre-filter any more. I tried to add a new pre-filter on an existing list that does work, but I don't have the 'add pre-filter' option in the data tab anymore. I checked all the Fabrik plug-in settings and they are all active.

Any suggestion what is happening here and how I can solve this?

Click to expand...
So there seems to be still some incompatible rest.
Usual questions:
fabrik version
browser
WYSIWYG editor
backend Joomla template
any JS errors ?
