There is an interesting side benefit for moving Teline IV from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 1.6 — at least in my case. I had complained that articles were not visible in the Firefox 3.x browser. However, when I switched to Joomla 1.6, the articles now appear in that browser.

As Alice might say, this issues just gets curiouser and curiouser. I cut-and-pasted an article from my Joomla 1.5 site’s editor to my Joomla 1.6 editor, using the JA Teline 1.6 Beta template. The body of the article doesn’t appear in Joomla 1.6 — no matter which web browser I use. However, the article’s title does appear in the web browser’s titlebar.

If I _create_ a new article within Joomla 1.6, it will appear. Also, If I copy the text _from_ the Joomla 1.6 article earlier imported from Joomla 1.5, then the body of the article appears.

You will almost certainly find that the article on your 1.5 site contains some extraneous html that it shouldn’t and you are copying that over to the 1.6 site. Please check the article in “no editor” mode to see what is going on.

I use Firefox 3.6.11, and article text did appear.

Of course, I just did the installation of the Joomla 1.5- eline IV last week, and the scripts might have been changed by then.

Actually, turning off the editor reveals nothing extraneous, except simple paragraph markup.

What has gotten really bizarre is that now no content (whether I created it fully in J1.6 or imported from J1.5 or viewed locally on FF, Safari, Chrome) will appear. The only content that displays fully in J1.6 and Teline IV is the sample content. It is enough to send someone running to Teline II.

This has been a quandary I’ve only experienced with Teline IV. I had thought J1.6 had solved the problem, but as I told Phil, now no content appears locally no matter which browser I use locally — except the sample articles from the initial installation.

Are you using a Mac or PC? (I’m on a Mac.) Can you go to this URL (http://ithacaindy.org/80-county-news/county/118-127003041)and tell me if you see the full article? (I can’t.) I’ve attached an image of what I see when I try to view the same article.

ithacaindy,

I can see stuff like “This is a test”. Can you write a longer text in one article, like 500 words or so with the “Read more” break around 250 words? Then, I may know better. Here’s what I see.

Do you by any chance copy and paste from a Page document? We had that issue way back in 2008. If has something to do with hidden html mark ups from word processing applications. If some of the mark ups copied are incomplete “div” statements, then it can even destroy the layout of your site.

I am a Mac user since I started using computers. I use other computers, but prefer Mac.

Here is a longer article, I copied-and-pasted without the editor to make sure no hidden formatting commands were messing things up.

Your link is what I’m seeing, also. I click on an article hed, there is a flash, then the front page reappears, but the browser window’s title has changed to the article title.

ithacaindy.

I am not sure exactly what your full text is. “grins”

Can you please post this for an article : Ithaca, New York

___________________
The city of Ithaca, named for the Greek island of Ithaca,[1] sits on the southern shore of Cayuga Lake, in Central New York, US. It is best known for being home to Cornell University, an Ivy League school with 21,325 students (most of whom study on Cornell’s Ithaca campus).[2][3] Ithaca College is located just south of the city in the town of Ithaca, adding to Ithaca’s “college town” focus and atmosphere. Nearby is Tompkins Cortland Community College (TC3).[4] These three colleges influence Ithaca’s seasonal population.

[Place a “Read More” break here]

The city of Ithaca is the center of the Ithaca-Tompkins County metropolitan area (which also contains the separate municipalities of the town of Ithaca, the village of Cayuga Heights, the village of Lansing and other towns and villages in Tompkins County). The city is the county seat of Tompkins County. In 2000, the city’s population was 29,287, and the metropolitan area had a population of 100,135. 2004 estimates puts the city population at 29,952, an increase of 2.3%.

That way, we both know what the full article contains.

By the way, I am not sure if you are aware of this, Joomla 1.5 does not show the name of the site. You need a plugin to show the name of the site. In Joomla 1.6, there is now an option to just click to show the name of the site.

Here is the URL: http://ithacaindy.org/index.php/typography862694588/the-news1688527818/461-wikipedia-article

I can view the article locally. I tried the same thing (adding a readmore to the text) of the article I copied from Joomla 1.5 and the piece still doesn’t display.

Another oddity I found was that although I wrote the piece a few minutes ago, the backend says the story is “published, but pending” until 21:59.

Once I get the articles displaying correctly, I’ll flip on the site name.

More interesting factoids coming from these tests…

1. The American/NewYork time setting doesn’t seem to work with articles. If I use the local setting, articles are all marked pending a much later date. If I switch to GMT, the articles are published.
2. Articles created totally within Joomla 1.6 (that is, are not imported nor copied-and-pasted from Joomla 1.5) display correctly.

I can read the whole article now. If you want to increase the text that appears on the Front page, you have to adjust this generically via the Frontpage or JA News Module edit page. The entire text before the Read more will show in the category.

I can see the name of your site at the top of the browser window, already. If this site is Joomla 1.5. the I assume you already installed the plug-in? In Joomla 1.6, there is option to do this in the Configuration panel.

As to the lag in time, I never encountered that, unless you have some sort of Moderating or some review option. How do you input your content? Backend or FrontEnd?

I find it more efficient to do it in the Backend, and use the HTML option in the edit window to view problematic HTML scripts when I encounter problems, like this. Very seldom though because I generally do not enter content directly from word processing software,

I use page Spinner to ensure paste any stuff coming from sites I am not too familiar with. And, then use the “Restyle” feature to strip most hidden formatting.

By the way, is the issue that you encounter unique for Firefox? One of the issues I posted in another thread turned out to be unique for Camino. I changed the “Preferences” so much in Camino, and the cache cleaning is not complete. However, I find it an easy browser to use over Firefox or Safari..
