When I try to load "administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=manage" on my local installation, it is taking too long.

My maximum_execution_time in php.ini was set to 30 seconds and it could never load because of that.

Joomla : 2.5.1
Server : Win7 pro x64 with XAMP
PHP version : php 5.3.5

/plugins/editors/codemirror/codemirror.php - line 153

$styleSheet (meant to be an array) is being set to a string. This will cause the foreach on line 172 to break.

This bug is unnoticed because it applies only using the Javascript syntax settings with Codemirror and is not normally used in Joomla. 3rd party plugins might like to use it though.

not important bug but its bug

also if reload page often it may create issues

Well, this is off topic but... joomla.org seems to be down. I'm just getting a 500 error when trying to access either www.joomla.org or docs.joomla.org. What's going on?

Checking the file libraries/import.php I'm a question regarding the use of constants IS_WIN, IS_MAC, IS_UNIX.

Somewhere in the CMS are used?

Moreover libraries/joomla/filesystem/path.php file defines constants: JPATH_ISWIN and JPATH_ISMAC on lines 13, 16 respectively.

The file ./libraries/joomla/application/application.php define function 'isWinOS'

The object JFTP in its constructor sets the variable OS.

All these files make use of the form:

<?php
substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)

to determine the operating system.

the external libraries for example: phpmailer and geshi also make use of this form.

IMHO is necessary to define these variables.

However appear in the documentation. https://github.com/joomla/joomla-platform/blob/staging/docs/manual/en-US/chapters/introduction.xml#L41

Personally I consider that:

1. • These constants should not exist.
2. • Or if the file 'iasf.php' is loaded before the other files, then you should make use of these constants.

Personally I think it's the first best solution(educes the learning curve of the framework).

P. S. I would like to help review this detail.

As reported on issue tracker http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=28828
the email validation fails for some TLD like museum,travel ect

plugin plugins/systems/redirect does not work because an url is searched for the full url;
it is not found (when a redirect has been created) so a new entry is created, resulting in duplicates

If there is a LESS compiler built into Joomla, how can I call it from my template?

Situation:

1. Create a bunch of Menu Items
2. Set one of them(e.g. Home) as "Default Page"
3. Now open them Menu Item:Home(Menu Manager: Edit Menu Item - View)
4. Try to set the "Default Page" to "No"

The result:
Save failed with the following error: At least one menu item has to be set as Default.

Solution maybe:
Maybe a checkbox, remove the decission between yes or no!

Best regards

When we enable the system plugin cache enabled, it doesn't work properly with the compojoom comment component.
The newly added comments from the guest doesn't show up until the cached page expired.

After debug and test, we find that Joomla doesn't remove the cached page when received the POST request.

we have fixed this problem in our server with the following method:

in /plugins/system/cache/cache.php 62 lines:
change from:
if ($user->get('guest') && $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET') {
$this->_cache->setCaching(true);
}
to:
if ($user->get('guest') && $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET') {
$this->_cache->setCaching(true);
}else{
$this->_cache->remove();
}

in file /libraries/joomla/cache/controller/page.php change the function
protected function _makeId()
{
return JCache::makeId();
}
to
protected function _makeId()
{
//calculate the cache id according to refer page when post request
$user = JFactory::getUser();
if ($user->get('guest')&& $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
$referer=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if (JURI::isInternal($referer)) {
$referer = '/'.substr($referer, strlen(JURI::base()));
return md5(serialize($referer));
}
}
return JCache::makeId();
}

and add the function:
public function remove(){
$id= $this->_id==null?$this->_makeId():$this->_id;
$group='page';
$this->_id = null;
$this->_group = null;
return $this->cache->remove($id,$group );
}

Hopefully Joomla team can include this fix into the next release.

In Offline page, when an offline image is set, If the image is wider than 400px, the image comes out from the edges of the central block.

A solution is to inform that the image must be less than 400px, or to force the width in HTML.

On line 168, the 'continue' statement is used outside of any looping structure. This is an illegal use of continue. Surely 'return' is meant instead.

When articles got inserted "pagebreaks" the content plugin "pagebreak" inserts at the bottom of the article a "ul" element with 2 navigation buttons "prev" and "next" just like this:

As you people can see, when the user is at the first or last page, the navigation elements shows a "li" element with just text which makes hard does some CSS styling to that element, to solve this problem I propose the just wrap the content of the first and last navigation element with a "span" element

the file to modify in question is https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/master/plugins/content/pagebreak/pagebreak.php#L313

line: 313 and 323

With something like:

$next = "" . JText::_('JNEXT') . "";

and

$prev = "" . JText::_('JPREV') . "";

This change is minimum and doubt it will cause any kind of issue, and developers would be able to do some styles like this

.pagination li span { //style for disable button }
.pagination li a { //style for enabled button }

here is the pull request

In FinderController (/components/com_finder/controller.php), the following lines appear twice:

    // Load plug-in language files.
    FinderHelperLanguage::loadPluginLanguage();

First on lines 43+44 then immediately after on lines 46+47.

Also, line 41 sets $user = JFactory::getUser(); but $user is never used in this function so the line can be removed.

I think there's a simple error in: "/libraries/joomla/registry/format/ini.php" which caused the method to always return an empty object:

// Validate the key.
if (preg_match('/[^A-Z0-9_]/i', $key))
{
    // Maybe throw exception?
    continue;
}

Shouldn't it be "not" (!):

if (!preg_match('/[^A-Z0-9_]/i', $key))

To reproduce:

$params = JRegistry::getInstance('test');
$params->loadFile('/path/to/ini_file', 'INI');

Test Instructions:
Open a modal box in any form (JForm or not) where there's a select list. For example: when adding or editing an article. Successful Tests:

Summary:
Squeezebox modal causes select lists to disappear

Details:
I just recently noticed this issue, but it seems to be in previous versions,
too.
When I'm in a form where select lists are shown, and I open a Squeezebox (for
example a user field), the select lists disappear. When I close the modal box,
the lists reappear again, but it van be annoying, especially in the frontend,
when form fields just disappear.

The problem seems to be with either Mootools or the Squeezebox.
It doesn't matter if the form is a JForm or a simple HTML form, the problem
seems to be with any select list.

Component options button routs to the appropriate page but then it never returns it to the page it came from with save&close/Cancel like the j2.5 did. Need to add a way to know where the person is coming to the page from.

Line 41 assigns the params object to $params.
Line 51 accesses $this->params which was never assigned.

It doesn't seem to matter much if the variable is local or a class property (although having access to it in the template might be useful) but it should be one or the other.

When calling JJHTML::image() with $relative set to true, a bad image link is created in administrator when an image file exists only in JPATH_THEMES . "/$template/$folder/system/$file".

Discussion and test file at http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=579&t=734663

Cause:
See the statements at about line 417 of /libraries/joomla/hmtl/html.php

// Try to deal with system files in the template folder
elseif (file_exists(JPATH_THEMES . "/$template/$folder/system/$file"))
{
    $includes[] = JURI::root(true) . "/templates/$template/$folder/system/$file";
    break;
}

The file is detected in /$template/$folder/system/$file but the link builds as webroot/$template/$folder/system/$file. In administrator, the link should be built as webroot/administrator/$template/$folder/system/$file instead.

Solution:
Change

    $includes[] = JURI::root(true) . "/templates/$template/$folder/system/$file";

To:

    $includes[] = JURI::root(true) . ($app->isAdmin() ? '/administrator' : '') . "/templates/$template/$folder/system/$file";

To be honest, I don't know how this scenario would exist unless someone moved an image into /templates/$template/$folder/system. But, I thought I'd post this in case someone ran across it or the developers wanted to do a fix.

I just upgraded my 1.7.3 site to 2.5.1 and noticed that Smart Search was missing from the Components menu. After some investigation I realized the plugin needed to be enabled in order for the component to show. I followed the following documentation to do so:

http://docs.joomla.org/index.php?title=Smart_Search_quickstart_guide&oldid=64505

Unfortunately, all the Smart Search plugins seem to be gone or were never installed upon upgrade. This may be due to the way I upgraded Joomla. I used the old method of extracting the Joomla update file, FTPing all the files and overwriting the old, I then logged into Joomla Admin and went to Extension Manager / Database / and clicked Fix. This seems to have worked in every regard, except Finder is not functioning (though I see it was installed via FTP under /components and /administrator/components.

If I type the following I can see com_finder from my Joomla 2.5.1 Admin Panel:

/administrator/index.php?option=com_finder

Unfortunately, it is showing the following error on the page:

Error loading component: com_finder, 1
Error loading component: com_finder, 1

So I am at a loss on how to get the plugins? Is there a download package?

Also, let me explain why I had to upgrade Joomla the old fashioned way. For some reason when I went to Extension Manager / Update and attempted to upgrade to 2.5.1 it gave me the following error over and over again:

JInstaller: :Install: Error SQL DB function failed with error number 1060
Duplicate column name 'sitename' SQL=ALTER TABLE jos_languages ADD COLUMN sitename varchar(1024) NOT NULL AFTER metadesc;
SQL = ALTER TABLE #__languages ADD COLUMN sitename varchar(1024) NOT NULL AFTER metadesc;
Files Update: SQL error file DB function failed with error number 1060
Duplicate column name 'sitename' SQL=ALTER TABLE jos_languages ADD COLUMN sitename varchar(1024) NOT NULL AFTER metadesc;
SQL = ALTER TABLE #__languages ADD COLUMN sitename varchar(1024) NOT NULL AFTER metadesc;

In components/com_content/router.php, the following condition (line 47) does not remove the layout from the query :

// are we dealing with an article or category that is attached to a menu item?
if (($menuItem instanceof stdClass) && $menuItem->query['view'] == $query['view'] && isset($query['id']) && $menuItem->query['id'] == intval($query['id'])) {
        unset($query['view']);

        if (isset($query['catid'])) {
            unset($query['catid']);
        }

        unset($query['id']);

        return $segments;
    }

this may result in links like index.php/extensions?layout=blog, where the original link was something like index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=20&Itemid=527

Easily fixed by removing the layout from the $query, eg:

// are we dealing with an article or category that is attached to a menu item?
if (($menuItem instanceof stdClass) && $menuItem->query['view'] == $query['view'] && isset($query['id']) && $menuItem->query['id'] == intval($query['id'])) {
        unset($query['view']);

        if (isset($query['catid'])) {
            unset($query['catid']);
        }
        
        if (isset($query['layout'])) {
            unset($query['layout']);
        }

        unset($query['id']);

        return $segments;
    }

I just found an inconsistency on installer and refresh manifest function... when installing an extension it gets the first valid manifest xml... ok, but if the file is not mod_xxxx.xml e.g: if the xml file is manifest.xml, the refresh cache will not get it... refresh cache requires a xml file named as extension name, but that file can not exists some times... so I think we should fix that updating the extensions adapters to use the jinstaller findManifest function instead of look for a specific filename... I have fixed it and will make a pull request.

The interesting thing is, that every other query works fine under Joomla

The 'file' input type has supported multiple file selection for some time now. The upload function in com_media can be easily modified to accept multiple files without causing any problem for older browsers that don't support the feature. So, is there any reason this not supported in Joomla! yet? I've actually done the modification myself on several Joomla! installations. I'd be happy to submit it the official project if it's wanted.

JRequest::getInt returns a string instead of a integer when magic_quotes is on.
cause of issue https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/master/libraries/joomla/environment/request.php#L155 , don't know if JInput is also affected by this bug.

Splitting the #__users table name column into 3 columns (first name, middle name and surname) will simplify lot of use cases where you don't want to get the users full real name. Post processing the name will result in a flawed result since you can't predict with 100% accuracy how the name is composed.

E.g. a mail form where you want to address the person "Hi, James \n\n Just for today we have a special offer...".

Hello,

I installed joomla Joomla! 2.5.4 Stable [ Ember ] 2-April-2012 14:00 GMT on my local server to develop, its a windows machine and the installation is located in a subdirectory of htdocs.

When i put in the $live_site parameter in the configuration script, i cant login anymore, it gives a error page.

I figured out when i replace the forward slashes in administrator/defines.php with directory separators (just like the versions of joomla 1.5) the problem is solved.

Why did they change these files anyway?

Just unzipped the Joomla 3.0 alpha 2 release and I receive this error when trying to access it:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONST in /index.php on line 10

Hi

In libraries/joomla/updater/adaptors/extension.php on line 46 & 47 you will find the following two lines:

$this->current_update->folder = "";
$this->current_update->client_id = 1;

These bascially hardcode the updater to look for extensions that have a client_id of 1 and no folder. The problem here is that it effectively blocks updates for any extension that uses a client_id of 0 (site templates, libraries, plugins and modules) and any that use folders (plugins).

I am not familiar enough with this area of the Joomla code but a have had a look around it seems the best solution would be too include these in the update manifest using and tags. If they are not specified it can set these defaults to ensure backwards compatibility while allowing those who need it to get these updates working.

This code appears to have come out of this discussion: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/joomla-dev-general/R4g0-Q2pWXk/SmLaJEsTUK0J where the suggested clumsy alternative seems the better option?

I am happy to make these changes and provide a patch unless someone has a better suggestion?

Thanks

@eddieajau asked that I raise this issue with the CMS.

joomla/joomla-platform#769 (comment)

In the "Deprecate JView::escape()" pull request, it was proposed that the escape method be deprecated. I agreed, primarily on the basis that JView scope limits it's usefulness to Component Views. Further, I pointed out that no module output is escaped in Joomla core and I wonder if it's related to the lack of availability of this method.

IMO, it would make sense to either remove the method from JView, or relocated it where frontend devs can use it in all rendered output, including components, but also templates and modules.

Regardless, module output should be escaped. If the JView::escape method cannot be used, using PHP methods is sufficient, but it really should be done.

Hello All,

My friend Pedro Renan found an issue on com_banners

Joomla 2.5

at line 96 of components/com_banners/models/banner.php

the column should be "count" and not "cound"

Is this section in manifest xml working?

<dependencies>
    <dependency type="platform" name="joomla" operator="=" version="1.7.0" />
</dependencies>

Is this working for custom libraries, components, modules ?

It would help me quite a bit if tags could be added at fixed commits when new platform changes are brought over. IE 11.2 full, 11.3 partial, 12.1 full, etc

I often compare branches between my local site, the cms, and the platform to see whats new and whether I want to integrate it early or not.

2. Modify the paths in the following script per your environment and run it
3. The installation will fail due to classes failing to autoload

I have a #_content table of just about 3Gigs, 30k+ Articles and 4k+ Categories. In earlier versions of Finder before it was integrated into the latest release of Joomla 2.5 Stable I had the same problem I'm having now. It hangs and sometimes crashes my server requiring a Hard Reboot. I think this is due to having specific articles that are in pagebreak standards almost 400 book pages long. I have been building an online library using Joomla (which in retrospect may have been a bad idea, due to Joomla not really having the search functionality to deal with EXTREMELY large content based sites, and also that it uses MySQL which can be a huge bottleneck with large sites) and I have been letting the GUI Indexer run for about 9 hours now and it is hung up on 10% which was what happened earlier on in development when I tried this. I have used the CLI as well and let it run for 3 days and it never finished, and eventually shot up an error which ultimately nullified all the prior indexing.

I have submit this issue to the Joomla! Bug Squad on Google Groups, yet it seems to have never been approved by a Moderator :(

Hi!

Could anyone help me set up JV Headline module? I'm trying to put a banner fixed on the module and keep rest working normally, and I have no idea how to do it. I created this image to explain better!
