Administration issues with Joomla/CB

[lzzrdboy]

OK. So I tried installing another instance (in fact I tried it a couple of times), and the problem appears to be limited to the Community Builder module (the Joomla interface works fine). On any of the CB lists, I get this sort of error when I try to modify the number of items to display in the list:

This error was reported when I tried to change the number of list items from 20 to 10 in the CB Field Manager screen. This error seems to be pretty fundamental, and occurs in all the CB admin areas, so I cannot understand why more people do not see it. This leads me to believe that it is my server's environment.

If it would help, I can create a user which you can use so that you can experience this first hand. Maybe playing with it yourself may be helpful.

This is just basic administration setup stuff, and I'm pretty frustrated with it at this point. My primary focus right now is to be able to manage the registered users of our group with some customizeable profiles, and get to a point so that users can register and pay their membership subscriptions online. I've researched alot of different systems and this one seemed like the most flexible and supposedly "reliable" way to go. Eventually, I would also like to build in some other features (integration of event calendars, event registrations, mailing lists, social networking, etc.) which I figured I could do through modules. If you can suggest alternative solutions, I'm all ears.

Thanks for your help.

I also just completed a new install of Joomla 1.5.10 with Community Builder 1.2 Stable. However, keep in mind I've been working with Mambo/Joomla for many years now and have run into just about every problem there is. In this particular case I was attempting to migrate my current 1.0 Joomla site to the new 1.5 version and since FDL in Cpanel doesn't support an upgrade to 1.5 I had to start from scratch. Although the migration of data was a little painful I managed to get everything up and running.

Unfortunately, when I loaded the new CB 1.2 stable component, I started having multiple problems within the configuration. Everything from SQL failures to object errors to saved data simply NOT being saved. After looking at every discussion topic I could find I came to the conclusion that I should look at the PHP version. It plainly states that CB 1.2 requires PHP 5 or higher but I figured I'd give it a try with the installed 4.2 from WHB. After 3 days of troubleshooting I decided to change my site over to PHP 5 by adding the new .htaccess file referenced in other threads here. Low and behold this solved ALL of my issues.

I wish I could be more specific regarding the errors and problems but since getting them resolved I've removed those logs. I'm guessing you may have already tried this fix but if not, I highly recommend it. Simply search the board for "upgrade PHP" to see how it's done.

My apologies if you've already tried and are still having issues.

Good luck!

Everything seems to work fine for me. Minor bugs but can do away with it.
