I have a strange problem that i can figure out. i installed 1.7 and it worked fine on xampp 1.7.3 with no problems at all. worked with it for a few days. then i did a reinstall on 1.7 worked fine aswell.

but all of a sudden i cant save anything.. making an article cant save it. global settings cant save. move module positions cant save either.

i dont get any error reports or nothing. button just wont react. if i click the cansel button i go back one step. i can move around in controlpanel go to articles , categories ect.. but when i work in article and then try to save wont work.. i cancel i goes back .. cant move modules nothing..

"only diffirence with this install from the other is that i had 1.5 installed aswell dont know why that should matter. in xampp i had 1 joomla folder and one joomla17 folder" just bringing it up and i havent tried to install joomla 1.5 and then 1.7 aswell at the same time, will do that later when i get home.

i tried running xampp 1.7.2 aswell and same problem.
any suggestions?

I have the same problem. I installed the latest wampserver 2.1e on a Windows XP 32bit and installed Joomla 1.7. During install I got no errors what so ever. I changed the wampserver settings to get all "green" on the Joomla requirements before installation.

Also when I want to change the timezone I can't save the settings. Also below in IE8 the status is "Done with error on page." It's a fresh Joomla installation.

Any help is welcome. I'm thinking of creating a complete new website with Joomla 1.7 and the latest kunena forum. But it doesn't start well...

Edit: Just noted this post which I think is the same problem: viewtopic.php?f=622&t=633570

the only thing i can remeber doing after the fresh install is that i instaled adaware,, can it do something to joomla? block som scripts, popup, or whatever?

*edit

well after testing around a bit i unisntalled adaware and now it works as it should. for some reason it blocked something for me and i couldnt use the save function.. or the popup when trying to change the position of a module for example.

solved by uninstalling Lavasofts adaware..

I have the same problem. I just installed 1.7 and I cannot save any changes. I am new to joomla so I am not sure where to go to try fixes. I am doing my configurations on my host, could my local browser have any affect?. I am running IE 9 on a Windows 7 64 bit system.

I have the same problem. Installed 1.7.0 (downloaded a couple of days ago). Installed with no errors on a linux host with versions of Apache, PHP and MySQL which meet all the minimum requirements.

It is impossible to add users or to save changes to global settings. No error messages appear. The Save buttons just do nothing. I have tried reinstalling but this has no effect.

I just loaded Firefox and my save problems have all disapeared. I was running Internet Explorer 9 and could not save anything. With Firefox the save problem has gone away. I would like to know which browser and version the others that could not save were running.

I have abandoned v1.7. I'm not going to use software that is browser dependent or requires browser configuration. Version 1.5.63 works fine so that's what I will use.

I'm using IE8 and tried the compatibility view (tools->compatibility view) but with no luck.
Anyway, if Joomla can't run properly with IE8 or 9 then it's useless for me. Others need to use it to, and most use IE.

I would find it strange that Joomla would not work with the most used internet program.

@Stevejarvis: I guess you have a point, if it realy is browser dependent. I would love to see some dev's answer in this topic. Still no word from the experts?

EDIT: Before someone asks, localhost is added to the thrusted websites in IE.
Also, apperently on every config page where you can save things, like create a new user, change settings, etc... The page is loaded with an error in IE.

HI,

I cant be browser dependat as 85% of out visitors use IE and the rest use FF.

So to inform people use FF is not an option, its not just me using the site

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Its the other users who will be using to update the site who will be all using different browsers.

I provide the site and should not be telling the audience that uses my site what they have to install. Joomla should be browser compatible like any other software you get.

Eddie

Are you using a standard Template ? The Template overrides of some Templates interfere with the saving of Articles.


You could try a 3rd party editor ?

There are some issues with IE9 see http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... m_id=26448

@Webdongle, I'm using a clean install, I didn't do anything else what so ever with the Joomla installation. So it's a 100% clean install. I'm using IE8.

You'll find more info in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=622&t=633570&p=2581098#p2581098

So seeing on that project link you posted, we have to wait for Joomla to bring out a patch?

Hi,

I am using standard template.

I am using a 3rd party editor (JCK) and it makes no difference.

Unless you apply the patch yourself.
Here are the two files (after the patch is applied) from
/media/system/js

Thx Webdongle,

It seems to work now, just a small question about where to install the files.
I replaced them both in the folder: "media\system\js\" with the ones you've uploaded.

But when I did a search I also found a file named "validate.js" in the folder: "media\editors\tinymce\jscripts\tiny_mce\utils\", should I also replace this file? I think not, but just to be sure I did it correctly.

If you go to the Tracker and download the patch, then open it up in a plain text editor. You will see which file(s) is being replaced
Quote:
--- media/system/js/validate.js (revision 21906)
+++ media/system/js/validate.js (working copy)

....

--- media/system/js/validate-uncompressed.js (revision 21906)
+++ media/system/js/validate-uncompressed.js (working copy)
Basically it is saying to delete the file and replace with changed file( of the same name).

Tinymce is not a Joomla core file so I doubt it would ever have a patch in a Tracker (except when Tinymce fix a bug and then a patch to install the new version of Tinymce is added. Not just a few of it's files).

That seems to be a separate error. Replace the parched files with the originals and see what happens.

Is it localhost or remote server ?

In Site >> System information ... what is the 'WebServer to PHP Interface' ?

Did you get all "greens" when Joomla checks the php settings? I'm using wampserver 2.1 (which is free) for my local test machine. When you use this there are 2 items that you need to change to get all "greens" (very easy in wamp).

For me it's working with IE8 and Firefox after applying the patch from this post. It also works on the actual hosted site online. Same for another test server running on a NAS.

Maybe try wampserver 2.1?

1.7.4 would be better.

I need these files too, unless there is a better answer at this point. I installed a fresh 1.7 into a new database on the web server, running cpanel.

Right aways I tried to add a user, or modify the configuration and the page just sits there and does nothing.
