Unable to edit gallery in article

Hi!

Showtime Image Gallery v1.5.7 | Joomla ‎4.2.8 | PHP 8.1

After adding a gallery to an article we are not able to edit it using the edit icon in the topright corner. We can delete the gallery from the article, but not open it to edit it.

Console error:

index.php?option=com…yout=edit&id=29:136 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'dataset')
    at showtimeSetModalContent (index.php?option=com…t=edit&id=29:136:12)
    at HTMLSpanElement.<anonymous> (index.php?option=com…ut=edit&id=29:153:7)
    at HTMLBodyElement.dispatch (jquery.min.js?3.6.0:2:43064)
    at v.handle (jquery.min.js?3.6.0:2:41048)

dispatch	@	jquery.min.js?3.6.0:2
v.handle	@	jquery.min.js?3.6.0:2

I think this is a bug?

Kind regards,

This issue is only happening with JCE editor. Not with tinyMCE.
It happens on both Chrome and Edge.

It looks like JCE is adding some classes "mceNonEditable" to the code. But removing this in the article code does not seem to solve the issue. So it might not be related.

If you want we can provide you access to one of our sites to check it out 'live'.

We have the 2.9.33 PRO version installed.

I could send you the PRO version if you want.

I have send an email to [email protected]

Yes. I'll send a SU account for our demo site to [email protected] so you can see for yourself. Maybe that will help.

Ok, that's weird ;-) Good find though. I did not think of that. Hope you can find a fix for it.

Hi! Any news about this issue?

Hi Lefteris, I installed the new version and this works better now. I do sometimes need to click the edit button twice to open the edit screen. Not sure why. I think this only happens when no item in the editor has been selected. So after opening an article with a gallery go straight to the edit button. On a first click you can see JCE is selecting the span but no action yet. On the second click the gallery is opened.

Not a big deal, it does work now but that might be a bit confusing for users.

Also I think these buttons don't work on a touch screen? I don't think a lot of users use the backend on a touch screen, but it maybe this can be fixed easily.

Have a good day and weekend!
kind regards,
Jip
