SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

[mgreer65]

All,

I am getting the subject syntax error when I click save on a form. I have been troubleshooting this for a couple days and haven't had much luck. I have seen a few posts with this problem, but they are either unanswered or I tried the 'solution' and it didn't work.

One interesting thing in troubleshooting, I do not get this error when I call the form directly from the menu as an item. I do get this error pretty much every other way I can call the form on the site (via a module, via content plug-in).

Any thoughts are appreciated, as I seem to be getting nowhere.

can you point me at the page where this occurs?

 

[mgreer65]

I just pm'ed you a user name, password, and the link.

Thanks for your help!

 

[mgreer65]

Bump - still looking for thoughts on this one. Thanks again for the help, it is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, but can you PM me the details as well?

::sigh:: we really need to sort out a better way of sharing logins ...

Hugh, I have sent you the information. I am also having issues redirecting forms, but one step at a time!

There's a thread about this error and jumi

Do you have jumi installed?

There's a thread about this error and jumi
http://fabrikar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27715

Do you have jumi installed?

I do have jumi installed, and I did see this thread before I posted, and I tried turning off the error reporting. Initially, I thought that my situation was different because of the menu issue. But, upon reading this thread again, realized that the issue is similar. I am not exactly sure how to modify the jumi code, but willing to try. Along these lines, I found this post: http://2glux.com/forum/jumi/working-great-but-errors-logged-t148.html. I may have a go trying that.

Is there a better extension out there than jumi for this type of thing?

 

[mgreer65]

I quickly tried to update like the other thread I found said, and as hugh suggested in the last post with the if (JRequest::getVar('format', '') == 'raw') statement; however, this problem still persists.

I don't want to waste everyone's time here if we are confident this is a jumi issue...again, I would be open to suggestions on comparable extensions.

Depends what you use JUMI for but I have up on it when it wasn't updated for a year or so. I use Sourcerer now, in fact any extension by this developer I give the thumbs up to.

Sourcerer

If you suspect JUMI being an issue just disabling it in plugins and then test.

 

[mgreer65]

thanks for the lead on a replacement to Jumi - if in fact it really is the issue.

I did try disabling the jumi plugins and testing; however, I still got the same error - so maybe this isn't a jumi issue?

 

[cheesegrits]

The login you gave me in PM doesn't work, on either the front or the backend.

"Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet"

[mgreer65]

very sorry hugh, you should have the right access now.

 

[mgreer65]

still looking for ideas, bumping.

 

[cheesegrits]

I don't see any problems on this page:

http://www.parstat.com/index.php/mystats/reports/approach-analysis

... from IE, FF or Chrome.

Am I looking at the right form? I've tried going through the My Stats menu, and pasting the URL direct.

[mgreer65]

Hugh,

The error only shows up after the form is submitted. I have attached pre/post pictures of the form and the error I am getting.

Thanks,
Michael

 

[mgreer65]

Just a reminder, the 'Approach Options' item on the menu links directly to this form and it works fine.

 

[cheesegrits]

OK, there seems to be some problem with com_config. I'm getting the occasionaly warning message from J! about it, and parts of Fabrik on the backend are crashing because our calls to get the com_config settings, like ...

$config = JComponentHelper::getParams('com_config');

... are returning null, which they they never should.

This may or may not be related to the <? issue, but until you have resolved your com_config issues, there's not much I can do to debug that.

I don't really have much by way of suggestions for debugging or fixing those com_config issues. Probably start by double checking your $configuration.php, and re-installing the J! code.

[mgreer65]

thanks for having a look. is com_config supposed to be a folder in the j! components folder? If so, this doesn't seem to be in my components folder...

hugh, also, I am now looking at this again myself, and have noticed that I am getting more warning/error messages on many of my pages than I was getting prior. also, I am getting a popup when I submit the form that reads null now? Did you change a setting? I noticed jumi was disabled too.

Not complaining as I greatly appreciate the help! I am just new to Joomla/Fabrik, so at this point it is not obvious to me what may have changed.

UPDATE: I noticed that there is an error reporting drop down. I am still interested in the com_config question above though! thanks.
