Admin advanced settings problem

I have a few problems installing Dolphin 7 on my VPS account and I would really like to solve this problem without reinstalling. I have checked my php settings and everything appears to be correct.

In the admin interface, Settings > Advanced settings there are no arrows with links showing on the right hand side and therefore the menus can't be expanded.

Someone else posted the same post recently but the discussion but there didn't seem to be a clear solution.

That's because we really have not found a cause for it yet. As such, there is no solution yet.

It worked on my previous install but then I had a problem with the default language installing. It works in the demo.

Oh yeah the page builder blocks don't load up either.

Ah, that lovely topic which devolved into a mess. I love how some people can so easily snap and start failing at their attempts to troll about.

Did you change anything since your previous install? If it worked before, then something you recently did must have threw something out of whack.

Open /templates/base/scripts/bxbaseformview.php  scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and you will find this function:

  

 

function getOpenTbody($aAdd = false) {
        if (!$this->_isTbodyOpened) {
           
            if ($aAdd and is_array($aAdd))
                $sAttrs = $this->convertArray2Attrs($aAdd);
            else
                $sAttrs = '';
           
            $sCode = "
                <tbody $sAttrs>\n";
           
            $this->_isTbodyOpened = true;
           
            return $sCode;
        } else
            return '';
    }

Change the function to false :

 

 function getOpenTbody($aAdd = false) {
        if (!$this->_isTbodyOpened) {
           
            if ($aAdd and is_array($aAdd))
                $sAttrs = $this->convertArray2Attrs($aAdd);
            else
                $sAttrs = '';
           
            $sCode = "
                <tbody $sAttrs>\n";
           
            $this->_isTbodyOpened = false;
           
            return $sCode;
        } else
            return '';
    }

 

Now everything in the settings advanced settings will be opened on page load rather then on down arrow click.   If it still does not work for you then i would say you have something wrong with your java on your pc or there is a odd server setting missing.

What does Java have to do with any of this?

Hint: nothing

Fixed it for you.

JavaScript =/= Java. Otherwise, myself being a Dolphin user on the BeOS would defy the laws of computing.

That said, I'm going to give your solution a try. It may not necessarily be a fix to the root cause of the problem, but it is definitely a solution in the mean time. Also, it wouldn't be a bad customization to the way the advanced settings are displayed...

If anyone knows the words "work around," it's us BeOS users. We may be on legacy life support, but we're still alive and kicking.

For example, we no longer need worry about a lack Flash support, and still enjoy our YouTube videos by feeding everything through the VLC Media Player. But, alas: Haiku now has a port of Gnash! Praise the future of desktop computing!

I wouldn't call it a "PC." That's rather insulting, don't you think?

Most people don;t know this but the Commodore was way ahead of it's time way back when. It was the defacto environment for animation and graphics....

Fixed it for you. It's a common mistake, so you're forgiven.

LOLOL!   Amiga - Commodore, I let that one slip through. It's late, I'm tired and I'm old enough to know the difference.

You are correct and my bad.

Changing the script as Dolphin_jay indicated worked. Thank you for posting this solution.

I think this forum would be more useful if people didn't use the posts to discuss unrelated issues, it just makes it more stressfull for the people looking for solutions to sift through all the posts.


By the way - I am  a PC user and I've been having hardware problems lately that may be affecting the way software functions.

@dolphin jay

Thanks so much for your posting on editing BxBaseFormView.php.  This worked a treat.

I believe the problem is linked to caching.  It first happened to me when I disabled all the file caching for html, JS, css etc.

I had the same problem - was driving me crazy. Then I went into the cache settings and activated all cache options and PRESTO, all working again.
