Can't modify events from frontend

[alccad]

Hi,

I've just installed the 2.2.8 over my basic 2.5.7 local installation (supported by EasyPHP 5.4.6) and everything went fine. I'm using the Beez5 template from Joomla, so nothing special and few modules.
My need is a frontpage calendar everybody can use at public level (no login required): add edit or delete events are allowed.
All works fine, but If anybody tries to open an event detail and click over the edit icon, nothing happens no matter what browser he's using.
Down below I can only see that the edit icon link is "Javascript:Void(0)".

I'm not a programmer so the fix of this issue is not easy. I just know I used JEvents many other times, but never had troubles even if with previous version of Joomla and Jevents.

I've already serached the forum for similar situations, but the thread I've found are not enough explicit for me or end in a private message fix.

Can anybody support this problem, please?
I can post every info You need, but sorry in advance, I don't have a public URL to show.

Thank You in advance for Your time.
Alccad

EDIT: I tried using the console inside Chrome to see what happens when I click on the icon and the reply is:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null

referred to the view_detail.js:82, and if I open it, I only get:
myDiv.style.opacity=opacities[currentOpacity];
which for me has not too much sense...

Hello,

So does the event detail page load? if not, is it white? please see:
http://www.jevents.net/jevents-15-topme ... -page-load

The JS error could be down to the partial load..

Hi Tony,
thankYou for Your time.
The event details page loads correctly (at lest from what I see) but it's the edit button that doesn't work.
So I tried to enable the error reporting at max level, damn.. the page becomes a nightmare.
I can see hundreds of lines referring to some Jevents errors like the following:

Code: Select all

Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-12.1\www\administrator\components\com_jevents\libraries\config.php on line 34

Strict Standards: Non-static method JSite::getMenu() should not be called statically in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-12.1\www\components\com_jevents\router.php on line 45

Strict Standards: Non-static method JEVHelper::getNow() should not be called statically in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-12.1\www\components\com_jevents\router.php on line 88

And (I don't know if it matters) "around" the edit icon (I don't know if errors are close to objects they refer to) I can read:

Code: Select all

Strict Standards: Non-static method JVersion::isCompatible() should not be called statically in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-12.1\www\components\com_jevents\libraries\helper.php on line 1869

Again, sorry I'm not a programmer.

Hello,

That is how EasyPHP is configured.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Disable+strict+standards+Easy+PHP

Are you sure this is a fresh install of Joomla! with only JEvents installed?

What editor are you using?

[alccad]

The link was nice, I tried to edit the php.ini as instructed, but if I save and restart EasyPhp strict errors are always there...

Joomla installation is fresh as the W7 machine used for the purpose.
I'm using TinyMCE.

[Tonyp]

Hello,

Likely you edited the wrong php file?

Unfortunately this is an EasyPhp configuration issue. I personally use AMPPS.

It's

Code: Select all

c:\program files\easyphp-12.1\conf_files\php.ini

Anyway I've just installed Wamp on a new machine, installed Joomla and JEvents 2.2.8 only.
The same issue happens there too: people (public) can add but not edit their events as when clicking on the edit icon nothing happens.
The error is a bit more verbose:

Code: Select all

Object required
View_detail.js  line 82

Object required
View_detail.js  line 82

Object required
View_details.js  line 82
Code: 0
URL: http://localhost/test/components/com_jevents/assets/js/view_detail.js
Line:82
Char: 3


And here is the file (is it normal it starts with "COMPONENT FOR JOOMLA 1.5.X"? I did download the package for 2.5.. ):

Yes it is normal as its Joomla 1.5 and upwards the component does all.

Can you install on a web server rather than testing locally as this is why you are having issues.
