Text Filter Settings will not save

[vincebodie]

I am suddenly having a very strange issue where Text Filter Settings (Global Configuration > Text Filters) will not save. All user groups are suddenly set to "Default Blacklist", and if I try any other setting (such as "No Filtering" for the Super User group) they all revert back to "Default Blacklist" upon save. This is driving me crazy as it has stripped all styles, etc. out of an article I just saved. I poked around in phpMyAdmin in the _usergroups table looking for where these settings are stored, but that got me nowhere. What else can I try?

Here is the FPA output (Note that I have disabled the marcosinterceptor plugin but that didn't help):

[28-Dec-2023 18:05:48 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; plgSystemMarcosinterceptor has a deprecated constructor in /home/artglass/public_html/plugins/system/marcosinterceptor/marcosinterceptor.php on line 15

You should be creating custom CSS in user.css.

I wonder if JCH optimise is contributing to the problem; disable that and see if you can save the text filter settings.

Some observations - issues that should probably be fixed sooner or later (perhaps not directly connected to the current issue):

Out of date joomla.
Elevated file permissions (775 should be 755)
Out-of-date PHP (should be using PHP 8.1 at least but this may result in unpredictability concerning Joomla or your extensions).

Why is that? Pretty much every template I use on my various sites utilizes custom.css.

Tried that, no go.

Out-of-date PHP (should be using PHP 8.1 at least but this may result in unpredictability concerning Joomla or your extensions).

I will look into all of these things, though I can say that I'm stuck with PHP 7.4 until the template and some of the other outdated extensions get replaced with J4 compatible ones, at which point I could do a J4 upgrade. Whether all of that is in the client's budget is also a consideration. I may try rolling back to the last functional backup and then updating the various extensions one at a time to find the culprit.

I found a fix for part of the issue, and it was related to JCH Optimize after all, though not it in the settings, but rather in this code that it generated and published to the htaccess file:

Removing it fixed the content saving issue, but not the other issue of not being able save Text Filter Settings. Still digging for an answer on that. Funny how posting an issue can lead you to your own solution, almost like talking out loud, haha!

[AMurray]

It may be more expensive in the long run to keep using JOomla 3.10.12 Currently long-term support is provided until Feb 2025, through a subscription arrangement for CMS core updates, and bug fixes.(see https://elts.joomla.org/).

PHP 7.4 was EOL 12 months ago (Nov 2022). PHP 8.0 was EOL in November 2023, and 8.1 will be EOL in 12 months. PHP 8.1 should run JOomla 3.10.12 but whether extensions will do so is another matter.

The issue I mentioned with external CSS files - you're correct in one way - yes custom.css is used by some templates. However for instance Cassieopa users user.css.

I'm not sure of the solution to your original question about Text Filtering not saving. I don't believe the text filtering should affect your external stylesheets.

[Webdongle]

If you disable jch optimise you need to clear Joomla cache

[vincebodie]

So I was wrong, the change to the htaccess file didn't fix the html saving issue. Luckily I saved the code into a text file and copied it to the appropriate place in the _content table in the database.

Here is a short screen capture of what I'm referring to with the text filtering issue:
https://artglassandmetal.com/images/tex ... roblem.mp4

This must be an issue with the database. Where are text filtering settings stored? As I mentioned before, I have been all through the user groups table and not found anything.

I'm of course on board with updating everything on the site ASAP, but for now I want to get this fixed until I can approach the client with a full estimate on the J4 update.

I'm not sure of the solution to your original question about Text Filtering not saving. I don't believe the text filtering should affect your external stylesheets.

Just to be clear, the issue is not with saving styles that are stored externally in a CSS file. The editor is stripping out EVERYTHING, including divs, h1, h2, etc., and just leaving one giant blob of text behind.

[Webdongle]

I just did a test. The site has been up for a while so not sure if the Super users 'No Filter' was the default. However I change the setting to 'Default blacklist' saved success. Changed back to 'No Filter' and the page went blank except for a message saying no configuration file.

The configuration.php file had been deleted (replacing it with a backup was easy). Not sure if it was coincidence but after replacing the file I successfully changed the text setting for the Super user. One thing I noticed, after replacing the configuration file and logging back in, an extension needed updating (one that was not showing when I first logged in).

So this is not a Joomla issue. Something in your database, files or 3rd party extension is interfering.

I notice you have an Isis Template listed as a site Template! Perhaps look in your root/templates folder for it and if it's there rename it? Also look in admin Extensions >>> Manage >>> Manage and see how many times it's listed?

[AMurray]

Does this behaviour happen if you try Protostar as front-end template (just test it - if need be create a clone of the site for testing).

I forget if you can do it in 3.10 but try the "reinstall core files" under Joomla Update; this may refresh the files and sort out the problem.

Can you restore a backup to a point before this started occurring?

Wow, thank you so much for that effort. You were right about Isis (as well as Hathor) being shown as site templates. I deleted them via Manage Extensions and checked the file structure to make sure they were gone from the /templates folder, and they were in fact gone (though I didn't check to see if they were there twice beforehand).

I'm still thinking database, but I don't know where the Text Filter settings are stored, and they still won't save.

I tried the Protostar trick, but no go.

I thought about doing a core files reinstall, and I will try that tomorrow if I don't find a solution by then (taking a backup first of course). I can also restore from the backup I did right before the software updates that caused this whole mess. All of the content is the same in that backup, just a few small SEO tweaks since then I think. So there's always that option too.

[arunthomasvtt]

Try disabling all the 3rd party plugins, enable them one by one and find the culprit.

[vincebodie]

Try disabling all the 3rd party plugins, enable them one by one and find the culprit.

I will try that too, thanks. I haven't installed any new extensions lately, but perhaps an update to one of the existing ones lead to this.

[vincebodie]

I'm currently dealing with the same issue on a Joomla 3.10.x site with no solution yet, see here:
viewtopic.php?f=708&t=1006278

I will be keeping an eye on this post in the hope that we both find a solution!

[vincebodie]

Still no solution to this. Reinstalling the core files did not help.

I found two other unsolved instances of the same issue, one on Joomla 5 and one on Joomla 2.5, so now I'm really scratching my head!

[ceford]

Could be a mod_security problem. What actually happens when you select Save? Do you get a green System mesage saying Configuration saved. or something else?

[vincebodie]

Could be a mod_security problem. What actually happens when you select Save? Do you get a green System mesage saying Configuration saved. or something else?

Hmmm that's possible and I run my own server so what do you suggest I look for as far as mod_security settings?

Yes we do get green system message saying "Configuration saved", even though all groups are still set to "Default Blacklist".

[ceford]

I suggest you disable mod_security and see if that changes anything. With phpMyAdmin look in the #__extensions table for com_config. This is the content of my params field:

Code: Select all

{"filters":{"1":{"filter_type":"NH","filter_tags":"","filter_attributes":""},"9":{"filter_type":"NH","filter_tags":"","filter_attributes":""},"6":{"filter_type":"BL","filter_tags":"","filter_attributes":""},"7":{"filter_type":"BL","filter_tags":"","filter_attributes":""},"2":{"filter_type":"NH","filter_tags":"","filter_attributes":""},"3":{"filter_type":"BL","filter_tags":"","filter_attributes":""},"4":{"filter_type":"BL","filter_tags":"","filter_attributes":""},"5":{"filter_type":"BL","filter_tags":"","filter_attributes":""},"8":{"filter_type":"NONE","filter_tags":"","filter_attributes":""}}}

What do you have? The first number is the Group and NH means No HTML. Try using this set of settings (unless you have defined extra custom Groups) or changing any one and see what comes up in the Global Configuration form.

OK I tried that and the settings stuck in PHPMyAdmin, but when I go to Global Configuration in the Joomla admin they're all back to Default Blacklist.

That suggests one of two things: either your form data is cached by your browser - so try clearing local cache and perhaps a hard page reload; or you my be looking at the wrong database (it happens - I have done it myself).
