Question Profil-save error without adding a signatur

andrewst wrote: I am not using latest Blue Eagle template (1.7.0) I am using Blue eagle 1.6.3, as with the latest one there seemed to be some css issues on my site...

Actually just tried Blue Eagle 1.7.0 and still same issue with the Profile form not saving, (aforementioned css issues now resolved and nothing to do with Kunena template)

Thanks

There seems to be a few things missing from your Kunena configuration report. Is it possible that you've removed some information from the report? Please read What information should I include when I ask for help (including how to post my configuration report)? in relation to editing your report.

Based on what appears to be an edited report, it's my guess that your problem is covered by msg #1 of If you are having problems with Kunena, please read this first .

Hi

I have included full configuration report below. As far as I can tell Mootools (1.2.4) is loading in the right place etc... Everything javascript related seems to be working fine except for this one bug where the signature box in profile edit behaves as a required field...

Many thanks

Hi sozzled and others,

With a bit of poking around I think I have solved the issue, it just appeared that, in the template, the signature box is set as a required field when it shouldn't be. This affects saving any profile edit, even if you can't see the signature input box (i.e. if you are looking at 'User Account', 'Avatar Image' or 'Forum Settings' and trying to hit 'Save' but haven't entered a value for the Signature under 'Profile Information'. )

I changed the file: ../components/com_kunena/template/templatename/profile/editprofile.php

where 'templatename' is the template used, in my case 'default' as I'm using Blue Eagle (default), but I also noticed that the file 'editprofile.php' was the same for other templates e.g. evolution slate so I guess this is a standard php file used by many templates?

I just deleted the 'required' class, i.e. changed the following, line 210:

to


Guess this is a small bug which may affect other templates?

Thanks

Curious. I just tried to edit and save my profile on a K 1.7 website - Blue Eagle template, obviously - without entering a signature and it worked fine for me without having to make any changes. Therefore this is a little puzzling.

The required keyword (that appears in the TEXTAREA class definition) still points to the cause of the problem being a Javascript issue. Anyway, the issue does not seem to be a pervasive one affecting the whole Kunena community. Has anyone else experienced this same problem?

Good work on diagnosing and fixing your problem. Others may be interested in learning from your discovery.

I found the javascript conflict - I am also running the 'Contact Enhanced' extension on the same page, which loads its own javascript with behaviours for class 'required' so I think it is stopping the kunena form from validating if the signature box is empty. Seeing as signature probably shouldn't be required I guess it would probably make sense to just remove this from the kunena template source anyway? Maybe if other people are having same problem they are running a module like Contact Enhanced on the page or some other module with a form in it which has fields with class 'required', and their own javascript?

Cheers
