Front End Editor Buttons Disappeared

[Duval]

Version Information:
JEvents v2.0.0 Release Candidate 12
Joomla 2.5.8
Rocket Theme Modulus Template

Users can no longer edit events from the front end as the buttons that used to appear are now links and the formatting for the popup page is all jumbled. (screen shot below)

I have gone through the plug ins and tried disabling everything that was recently installed but cannot get back the original view.

I tried updating to JEvents 2.2.8 but it had no effect on the display.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

Using chrome and developer tools what does the console say?

Do you get any error messages?

Thank you for your reply, off to install developer tools on Chrome and will report back. Thanks!

OK found the developer tools (nice resource, thanks) and when I look at the "console" tab I see:

Code: Select all

GET http://DOMAINHERE.COM/administrator/components/com_jevents/assets/css/eventsadmin16.css 403 (Forbidden)
GET http://DOMAINHERE.COM/administrator/components/com_jevents/assets/js/editical.js 403 (Forbidden)
Uncaught ReferenceError: set12hTime is not defined

When I look at permissions for both of the referenced files the permissions are 666.

Hello,

It looks like you have .htaccess backend protection. do you have an extra login?

Please see:

Brilliant! I can't tell you how long, or how much time I've wrestled with this.

It's a school website and the district recently protected the admin section so that it's unavailable unless logged in to the district server.

I'll contact the district folks tomorrow with your reference.

Thanks again!

EDIT: Also, this site is on a Windows server (yes, I know but beyond my control) so the .htaccess solution won't fly.

Hello Duval,

So they are running IIS not Apache?

If so you will then need to google and find Windows alternative to the above.

Tony, checked with the server folks and they explained that it's Apache running on Windows so the .htaccess solution should work.

Loaded the file as directed and it's no longer forbidden in the web developer tools but I now get a 500 server error for the files as below:

Code: Select all

GET http://DOMAIN.COM/administrator/components/com_jevents/assets/css/eventsadmin16.css 500 (Internal Server Error) 0:11
GET http://DOMAIN.COM/administrator/components/com_jevents/assets/js/editical.js 500 (Internal Server Error)

Can you try temp fix and rename the .htaccess file so it does not take effect.

Does it work now?

If not run a permissions fix on the site.

Tony

No, it doesn't work. The permissions for the files in question are 666.
