Can't select Menu Item Type

Post by ebottke » Tue Oct 28, 2014 8:17 pm

Hello,

after the upgrade to Joomla 3.3.6 I can't select the Menu Item Type when creating a new Menu Item. The Panel just keeps blank. This applies to all overlay panels in the admin Interface.
This happens when using Firefox
blank_Panel.png
or IE
blank_Panel_ie.png
IE complains that the requested content can not be displayed in a Frame.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Hello,

I believe it is actually hitting some errors and because error reporting is switched off, it's not displaying anything. Try setting error reporting to maximum under the Global Configuration area.

Also, you might want to try to disable some 3rd party extensions just to be sure that they are not causing the blank page of the menu selection.

Hi imarklee,

thank you very much for your hints. I set the error reporting level to maximum, but no error log entries appear. I also disabled all 3rd Party extensions but still no luck.

Any other ideas?

Many thanks in advance

I just took a look at the firefox console. When trying to choose the menu item type it displays
Load denied by X-Frame-Options: https://www.xxx.yyy/administrator/index ... recordId=0 does not permit framing.

any ideas how to fix that?

SOLVED

I found that this behaviour was caused by my webserver config (I'm using nginx). I modified the config file for my site and changed
add_header X-Frame-Options DENY;

to

add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;

now it works as expected. Thank you very much
