Can't update user profile

[mmarch]

Hi!!!

I have problem with update a user profile from Front end. To existing user fields i added new one. After that i login like a user and tried update new field, but unfortunately after pushing update button nothing not happen.

Why

Hi,

You create new Extra Fields from Site -> User Manager -> Extra Fields -> New.
Among the parameters of Extra Fields is one called "Read Only".
If this one is set to "Yes", then you cannot change its value from public frontend.
Is this the case?

OkI will check itnow, and let you know.

Thanks

[mmarch]

No there was OK This field was Not Read Only.

Is it possible that this problem is that i use 3d party add-ons. I has similar problem on one of my sites with 3d part add-ons, but i have not this problem with sites where i didn't use a 3rd party add-ons?

Is it possible, and how i can get it know?

Few days ago installed add-on to FF - FireBug and checked problem.

document.adminForm has no properties
http://www.andersonstownleisurecentre.info/includes/js/mambojavascript.js
Line 348 -

Code:

* Submit the admin form
*/
function submitform(pressbutton){
document.adminForm.task.value=pressbutton;
try {
document.adminForm.onsubmit();
}
catch(e){}
document.adminForm.submit();
}

348 line - document.adminForm.task.value=pressbutton;

Is it possible to fix it?

Don't touch any script/php. I would try to reinstall Elxis. Just remember to backup the DB

[mmarch]

Yeaa, i did it  I reinstalled and after that installed 3rd part addons. After that i am unable to update user profile from front end. And add-on for FF - FireBug gave me this error.

This is a general javascript function that is used from ALL backend and many front-end components and there is no problem with that function. If there was a problem with that function it would be impossible to save anything. Why it does not work for you? I don't know. Maybe you miss some files. Does this problem happens only in a certain component or everywhere?

If it is for frontend Elxis 2006.x loads mambojavascript.js ONLY if you have login in the site. So, in that case, you will have problem for sure. But not logged in users are not allowed to post anything. So, normaly: no problem.

Notice: Elxis 2008.x always loads elxis.js regardless if you are logged in or not. mambojavascript.js removed from Elxis 2008.

Hi datahell, thank u for your answer.. I uploaded all the files from the administrator folder.. This problem just happens in the Global Configuration.. I can save in the others administration sections..

[datahell]

Hmmmm......
Two cases of which the first is the most likely:

1. Your php misses posix functions.
Open /administrator/components/com_config/admin.config.html.php
Comment lines 839, 840 and 841:
//                $owner = @fileowner( $mosConfig_absolute_path );
//                $owner = @posix_getpwuid($owner);
//                $owner = $owner['name'];
Write bellow:
$owner = 'Unknown';

Save the file.
Done.
2. You have setup wrong FTP.
Check FTP path.

thanks a lot datahell!!  that would do the trick.. now it's working!

You will have the same issue in tool "chmod". If you use this tool you can fix it the same way.
Posix functions are also used in filemanager.
Elxis 2008 checks if you have posix installed before use it's functions.

Notice: Posix functions are in the standard php distribution and exist in almost 99% of the servers.

OK Datahell.. and when will Elxis 2008 be released?
