Solved [Resolved] Unable to edit user profiles in 1.7.2 - caused by mod_smart_hide_edit

For some reason none of my forum users including myself are able to edit their profiles; this happened about a month back and I've tried everything I can thing of to get it working again to no avail and I have no idea what caused it.

I am asking anyone that has come across this and has been able to fix it to help me out.

These are the steps I follow and the result I get...










Thanks guys...

@Sozzled - I hope this is sufficient info' for you

Its hard to tell why this is happening, but there are two possible reasons:

1) CSS issue is hiding the fields (check if they are in the html source code)
2) You have to update your template (based on 1.7.0)

If you're just modified CSS files and images (and copied it into another directory), you should just remove all php files but initialize.php (try in test site first)

Are you seeing the menu 2 times?

I'm willing to bet good money that this problem is caused by a Javascript library conflict - I suspect the "shoutbox" application as a likely suspect. I could be wrong.

I would also upgrade Kunena Latest to version 1.7.2 and, as Matias wrote, I would reinstall the K 1.7.2 Blue Eagle template.

Disabled Shoutbox module which didn't solve the problem.

I don't have the Kunena Latest module installed so it can't be that!

If there is CSS which is hiding fields would you please stipulate where I would find the code in question and how to correct it?

No, I don't see the menu twice!

Where do I find the K 1.7.2 Blue Eagle template? I've looked on the Kunena site www.kunena.org/ked/templates and can't see where to download it! Can you please post the URL for me?

I tried to reninstall 1.7.2 and this happened, any ideas how to resolve this?

My mistake: I meant to write Kunena Login, not Kunena Latest.

The Blue Eagle template - the update to the Blue Eagle template that you're using now and, perhaps, too, important updates included in K 1.7.2 that may not have been applied when you last tried to upgrade Kunena - is included in the standard installation package. I would say that your failed attempt to re-install Kunena is also behind the problems that you're having in not being able to edit user profiles. Please read Securing Kunena and make sure that all folders and all files have their permissions set according to the Joomla recommended values. Then try the installation again.

Thanks for that; the permissions were the reason for the failed update. I have reinstalled 1.7.2 and updated Kunena Login and the profile editing problem still persists
