Entering a description not possible

Hi Lefteris,

I wanted to add a description to an image but I am not able to click into the editor field. I can switch to the code modus but if I write something there and switch back to the editor mode than I don't see anything.

I am using Joomla 4.3.0 with Showtime 1.5.8 and JCE 2.9.36.

Can you help me with this?

Kind regards
Tanja Vogt

Hi Lefteris,

The error occurs in the backend and there in the component and also in the custom modules. And it is within the editor modal.
I tried both Firefox and Chrome, the error is the same.

In Chrome there is an error in the console:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addEventListener')
at index.php?option=com_showtime&view=gallery&layout=edit&id=61:93:24
(anonymous) @ index.php?option=com_showtime&view=gallery&layout=edit&id=61:93

In Firefox the error is:

Uncaught TypeError: modeSwitcherButton is null
<anonymous> https://XXX.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_showtime&view=gallery&layout=edit&id=61:93
index.php:93:5
<anonym> https://XXX.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_showtime&view=gallery&layout=edit&id=61:93

Can I help with further information?

Kind regards
Tanja

Hi Lefteris,

thank you very much for your quick help. I created a ticket at JCE and asked them if they can have a look or provide you the current Pro version.
But maybe the development version is also helpful. I found this link: https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/editor/pro/development

I will get back to you if I hear from them.

Kind regards,
Tanja

Hi Lefteris,

Ryan from JCE had a look at the backend and he couldn't find something. Here is his answer:

"This works OK for me in Firefox but not in Chrome. I suspect it has something to do with the initialization of the editor in the popup window by ShowTime, but there is no specific javascript error so it is difficult to troubleshoot.

The simplest fix here is just to leave Compress Javascript off. There is not really much of a performance increase with this on, as modern browsers can sometimes load multiple files (JCE scripts and plugin files) faster than loading one big file (the compressed file data)."


For me it didn't work in Firefox, but I'm fine with letting the compression off.

Kind regards,
Tanja
