Title: Problem with COMPONENTS in Admin area
Post by: rentasite on January 31, 2009, 13:43:04

Hi, im facing a really strange problem on a brand new Elxis installation (2008.1 Stable rev2245).

In the Administration area and concretely in the “Components” selection list, whenever I select some items, they do not work and the system brings me back to Homepage. Specifically, I have seen this happening when I choose:

1.   Banners/Manage Clients (no problem If I select Manage banners)
2.   Contacts/Contact categories (no problem If I select Manage contacts)
3.   Database manager/Monitor tables
4.   Links/Weblink categories
5.   Mass mail

I found out about the problem when I tried to manage some clients for the banner module.

I must also mention that the Pathway in the Administration area, is not showing correctly when the above error is produced. See the attachment… where I have a print screen of the pathway for 4 of the 5 above problems.

What I have done till now:

• Checked for the correct folder permissions. Same as all of my other elxis installations.
• Cleared cache.
• Tried to see if any other elxis installation (on the same server) has the same problem. No it has not!
• Finally I deleted ALL the folders/files. Deleted also the whole DB and its data and created a brand new DB. And started the whole installation process from the beginning.

BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE!

Any idea? Any help?  :-[


Thanks
Spiros

Seems that some links in database's #__components table are missing the "&" symbol. If you exported and re-imported the database then you did something wrong in the SQL file. Open phpmyadmin and correct the problem.

Table: #__components.
Column: admin_menu_link
Add the ampersand symbol were it is missing.

Example:
option=com_databasetask=monitordo=tables convert to => option=com_database&task=monitor&do=tables

Thanks Yianni i fixed it through phpmyadmin. And NO i did not export/import any db. It was a clean installation. Realy weird  :-\

Where does the ampersand symbol go here?     
option=com_massmailhidemainmenu=1

I was discovered about this matter and was noticed about this ...
Here I was added a fix :

I think there is a problem in this John , I added a fix for myself for this by adding these SQL in the installation SQL

Spiros , Do this import in your phpmyadmin , I think you didn't solve all urls :D
