Hey there – I have a COMPLETE fail when tryin to display in “category list” view.

Category blog view is fine. I am running a 2.5.1 version of J & Social template with the quick start downloaded a couple of days ago. Have tried re-installing just the template over the top but same issue – blog layout fine, featured layout fine, list layout displays NO template files, only the text of the articles(s).

Am developing new site for overthespectrum-com-au . . . . obviously, you can only see the working blog layout, as have changed the categories I want to show as list back to blog so they display something – otherwise the client will think I’m a fool with broken pages

<blockquote>list layout displays NO template files, only the text of the article(s).</blockquote>
The list layout in fact shows the category TITLE ONLY – not the articles. There is no presentation layer at all – just the text – this is the source that displays:
Code:

<div class="category-list">

<h2>
<span class="subheading-category">How to in 3 Steps</span>
</h2>

<div class="category-desc">
<div class="clr"></div>
</div>

<div class="cat-items">

In category blog layout, no issue at all – works as expected.

The other code earlier in the thread is not an issue, as I’m 2.5.1 and the correct code is there.

Max

Thoughts? Thx, Max

Hey Max Using Firefox here to view the site and I get this message and site load just goes into an infinite loop and crashes FireFox
Its a jquery problem. Look for a JQuery conflict switch on whatever module is calling it perhaps.

Error Message reads:
“A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: http://www.overthespectrum.com.au/media/widgetkit/js/jquery.js:101.”

Hope this gives you clues
Shane

Hi Shane – that is an error on the frontpage and I know what is causing it and is being resolved elsewhere (yootheme widgetkit slideshow conflicting with widgetkit html5 media player embedding within the slideshow) – can see it load properly in chrome)

That is not related in ANY way to what my forum post was about, which was about “Category List” display being broken.

Have given the JA support people login detail to try and resolve, which has nothing to do with js error on the frontpage slideshow.

Oh so sorry for even trying to help 🙂 whether it was directly pertinent to your category problem, why are ppl so perdantic and anal when everyone doesn’t jump and solve everything within 2 seconds sheesh, It’s a forum NOT JA Support. Shit I’ll just not bother anymore.

I have exact the same problem. I have opened a ticket to get this solved. Did you get a reaction yet?

Hi Hobbykwekers – no reply from Joomlart, despite being told in another thread to open anew topic?? Oh well.
I’ll open a ticket for it too – only problem then is that if there is a solution, no-one else will know.
Will try to keep in mind if I do get a fix, I’ll post back here for everyone else.

I’m also running JomSocial, jPayPlans and some other stuff on the site – are you using these also – may find something related which can help the debug process?

Please do open a ticket. There you can give them acces to backend and FTP so they can test for themselves. I assume a solution will be made public, at least I want to know how to solve it. I upgraded in a test folder, not the production site, so I need to know how to replicate it when my live site is transferred.

I run Joomla 2.5.2 – Jomsocial 2.4.3 – Kunena 1.7.2 – Kunena Discuss 1.7.2 – Akeeba (nothing to do with frontend).

Kunena Discuss seems not completely compatible with JA Social but why??? I can’t find it.(nothing to do with category list though).

Pretty much same setup as me (except JomSocial 2.6RC2) – I did not have any upgrades – this is completely new site.

May also be Kunena Discuss and JomSocial incompatibility issue . . . . who knows. I know there is a bug with JomSocial and widgetkit – JomSocial loads on every page 😉

Have opened a ticket – let’s hope for a reply.

This does appear to be a bug with our template. I have reported this to the devs for investigation.

The template package contains 1 file too many.

Get around this by changing:
/templates/ja_social/html/com_content/category/default_articles.php
to
/templates/ja_social/html/com_content/category/default_articles.php.disabled

(you can also remove the file but this is safer).

2 files too many actually. We updated this user in the ticket system but you can see our bug report thanks to Hein – http://pm.joomlart.com/browse/JATCSOCIALJ16-277

remove templates/ja_social/html/com_content/category/default_articles.php
remove templates/ja_social/html/com_content/category/default_children.php

Thanks hobbykwekers for posting it here. I ahould have done that too but it got overlooked. A new release of this template should be available soon including the fix for this and a couple of other minor fixes.
