Delete button doesn't work

[Thomasinho]

Hi,

i use Phoca Guestbook 3.0.4 with Joomla 3.4.3.
I noticed that the Delete button doesn't work. It happens in the log section and also in the posts section.
I mark the entry and then click on "Delete" but nothing happens.

Greetings

Hi, hmm, testing now and both are working OK for me - deleting posts and deleting items in logging just deletes the items.

Which message you get there? When you click on delete button, do you get any javascript error there? See:

Ok, i have tested a little bit:

1. FF39 (Firebug):
When i try to delete posts or log entries i get:

Code: Select all

SyntaxError: unterminated string literal
st eine Auswahl in der Liste vornehmen!');}else{if (confirm('\

http://www.teichwirtschaft-koselitz.de/Joomla/administrator/index.php?option=com_phocaguestbook&view=phocaguestbooks
(Row 1, Column 121)

2. IE11 (Development tools):

When i open the posts page, i get:

Code: Select all

SCRIPT1015: Not closed string constant
File: index.php, Row: 473, Column: 2

When i open the log entries page, i get:

Code: Select all

SCRIPT1015: Not closed string constant
File: index.php, Row: 435, Column: 2

3. Chrome 44.0.2403.89 m (64-bit) (Development tools):

When i try to delete posts i get:

Code: Select all

index.php?option=com_phocaguestbook&view=phocaguestbooks:470 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

When i try to delete log entries i get:

Code: Select all

index.php?option=com_phocaguestbook&view=phocaguestbooklogs:433 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

So, in all 3 browsers it does not work and seems like a problem with the closing of the div tag of the delete button. Code looks ok (but i'm no pro-coder).

Hi, unclosed tag should not be a problem, this seems like something renders the javascript error which then breaks all the javascript functions (e.g. for deleting). Only to be 100%, try to switch to English language so we know there is no problem in german language string (the first code you have pasted)

Jan

[Thomasinho]

The language was the solution!

When switching to english the deletion of posts and log entries works like it should.

I have exported the Transifex files, renamed them correctly and then uploaded them at the correct folders. I think the problem is that the german word for "Delete" is "Löschen" which contains the "ö", a special character. Maybe a problem with the encoding of the language file?

[Jan]

Hi, yes, when there is a problem with ö, or ü or ä then this seems like wrong encoding, the language file should be encoded with UTF-8 without BOM

But the problem is just with the "Löschen" (Delete). The german word for "Publish" is "Veröffentlichen" and there it works perfect.
The downloaded file from transifex is in utf-8 without bom (checked with notepad ++). I just rename the file and upload it and it does not work. I tried Bennos file, copied the content from the downloaded file and it also does not work. But Bennos file is working and he had the same translation for this string.
I'm totally confused.

[Jan]

Hi, please let me know the wrong string in INI file (or the line), so I can inform Benno.

Thank you, Jan

Hello,

@Jan,
I understand Thomasinho this way, that the problem exists only in his translation, not in mine.

But Bennos file is working and he had the same translation for this string.

@Thomasinho,
please correct me, if I'm wrong.

I am not able to reproduce the problem with my installed German translation.

@Thomasinho,
1.) Do you receive any errors, if you enable language debugging?
2.) Perhaps the problem is, why ever, not the language but the manifest file.... ??

OT. Hi Christine

Kind regards,
Benno
