Edit in frontedd fails - Duplicate Alias 12 years, 11 months ago #26962

Using:
Joomla: 1.7.3
ARTIO JoomSEF: 4.2.3
PHP Version 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.10

I have been unable to edit articles in the front end. In my Apache logs I found the following:

PHP Notice: Undefined variable: task in /site/ukrgb/joomla/components/com_sef/sef_ext/com_content.php on line 369, referer: beta.homedomain/books/bookshop-the-front-window

Looking at: components/com_sef/sef_ext/com_content.php the variable is not initalised, which explains the error.

A quick and dirty hack is to comment out the offending switch statement and always call the edit
case. This seems to work, but I'm sure its not the correct solution.

The code becomes:

 
            default:
/*            	switch($task) {
            		case 'article.add':
            			$title[]=JText::_('COM_SEF_NEW');
            			break;
            		case 'article.edit':
*/
            			$this->nonSefVars = array();
		            	$this->nonSefVars["return"]=@$return;
		            	if(isset($a_id)) {
							$title=array_merge($title,$this->_getArticle($a_id));            		
		            	}
		            	$title[]=JText::_('COM_SEF_EDIT');
/*            			break;
            	}
*/
            	break;

MarkG OFFLINE Posts: 5	Thanks for the reply, I will try that later. I have just checked the zip file I downloaded and the "@" is missing from there as well so its not a n update issue. The .zip i used was com_joomsef4-2.2.2.zip, (i.e. not 4.2.3 as previously stated). I cannot find 4.2.3 to download so I guess its not available. MarkG

This did not work, when editing articles I still get the error:
"Save failed with the following error: Another article from this category has the same alias"

From my limited knowledge of PHP isn't the "@" just masking the error so it will still fail as task is not defined?

dajo OFFLINE Posts: 5069	Yes, @ just masks the error, I thought the notice was causing the problem. Well the edit URL on my test server looks like this: index.php?option=com_content&task=article.edit&a_id=69&return=aHR0cDovL2oxNy8=&Itemid=435 What does your edit URL look like? If it's SEF, please also post the corresponding Real URL from Manage SEF URLs page in JoomSEF.

I have the "view=form" in my "Do not SEF URLs" for the content module to prevent jumping back to the home page after editing. Removing this solves the problem (edit works), but it is extremely annoying that you are thrown back to the home page after every edit.

With "view=form" in my "Do not SEF URLs ": (with this the edit fails)

The Edit button:
beta.homedomain/books/bookshop-the-front-window/edit?return=aHR0cDovL3VrcmdiLWJldGEuaG9tZWRvbWFpbi9ib29rcw==

The URL whitest editing:
beta.homedomain/?option=com_content&view=form&layout=edit&a_id=5&Itemid=106&return=aHR0cDovL3VrcmdiLWJldGEuaG9tZWRvbWFpbi9ib29rcw==

From JoomSEF URL Management:
books/bookshop-the-front-window
index.php?option=com_content&catid=9&id=5&view=article&Itemid=106

With nothing in my "Do not SEF URLs ": (with this the edit succeeds but throws you back to the front page)

The Edit button:
beta.homedomain/books/bookshop-the-front-window/edit?return=aHR0cDovL3VrcmdiLWJldGEuaG9tZWRvbWFpbi9ib29rcw==

The URL whitest editing:
beta.homedomain/component/content/?view=form&layout=edit&a_id=5

From JoomSEF URL Management:
books/bookshop-the-front-window
index.php?option=com_content&catid=9&id=5&view=article&Itemid=106

Thanks for looking in to this
