Question [Merged topic]The great Mootools/Javascript conflict discussion

I am also having this problem, in regards to the post above me.

I changed my template to milkyway, Kunena template to default and it still did not work.

mootools at 1.2.4 and joomla 1.5.20 also

mik0392: what template were you using before you used the rhuk_milkyway template?

The thing is, it's not just the template: it's all the other things added to your site that are installed when you install these other templates and, in particular, the Javascript library files that these other templates install. It's all explained in great technical detail in Mootools 1.2.4 in the Wiki. Some of the more respectable template designers do the right things by the Joomla community but there are also a few developers who don't.

So, by a process of elimination perhaps, you need to find out what it is that's causing the problem. It depends on how many plugins, modules, components that you've installed. The more of these things that you've installed, the longer it's going to take you to find out the cause of the Javascript issue that's causing the missing BBcode toolbar.

Don't forget, too, it could also be a web browser issue. If you have disabled Javascript in your web browser, guess what? You won't see the BBcode toolbar. You want to see the BBcode toolbar? Then enable Javascript in your web browser. You don't want to enable Javascript? Then you won't see the BBocde toolbar. It's your choice.

I had this issue as well after updating from 1.5.12 to 1.6RC2. My site has a lot of Rockettheme stuff and uses the Somaxiom template. If you have a Rockettheme and/or plugins, update all plugs to the latest version. My troubles came down to an outdated version of RokBox.

All,

To diagnose any java script problems I highly recommend you use Firefox and install the Firebug plugin. Then look at the java scripts that are being loaded for your site.

If you have an error like "Browser not defined" in slimbox-min.js or slimbox.js it is a clear indication that mootools 1.2.x is not being loaded.

You can also look down the list of java scripts loaded. Go to Script and click on the drop down that lists the currently shown script file - you should see the list of all that are being loaded.

There are two possible version that get loaded:

/media/system/js/mootools.js WRONG - OLD OUTDATED 1.1 VERISON

or

/plugins/system/mtupgrade/mootools.js CORRECT - 1.2.x

If in question compare the list of java scripts on your site, with the ones here at kunena.com

Hope this helps!

Thank you for those useful tips, fxstein. I have incorporated them into the Wiki article Mootools 1.2.4 .

RocketTheme template, www.rockettheme.com/joomla-templates/zephyr

I'll do what rolandvg99 did and update everything possible.
