CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

First off, I hope I'm posting this in the right forum. 

I have "successfully" migrated our CiviCRM implementation 3.4.8 running on Joomla 1.5.26 to CiviCRM 4.2.6 running on Joomla 2.5.8.

I say "successfully" since I'm encountering a couple of anomalies even though, in general, the application is running. Here are the issues I'm encountering.

First, specific nodes in the CiviCRM breadcrumb trail (mainly the root CiviCRM node) in the Joomla backend refer to [protocol][domain]/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm&reset=1 instead of [protocol][domain]/administrator/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm&reset=1

Second, when trying to establish Joomla Access Control permissions for a newly-defined Joomla user group, clicking Save or Save and Close neither saves changes nor does it close the open dialog box. Instead, it displays Joomla Global Configuration within the dialog box.

I have no idea if either of these are even remotely related.

I have rebuilt the menus using (http://<joomla_site>/administrator/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/menu/rebuild&reset=1). This seems to fix the breadcrumb issue temporarily, but the destination for the breadcrumb seems to get reset somehow.

I looked at the civicrm.settings.php under both /components and /administrator/components and both have only one line for CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL; [domain]/ and [domain]/administrator/, respectively. I thought/think that this is the correct configuration, but then I noticed the notes in the files, which show the following examples:

 * CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL - home URL for your site:
 * Administration site:
 *      define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL' , '[example domain]/joomla/administrator/' );
 * Front-end site:
 *      define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL' , '[example domain]/joomla/' );
 *
 */

Does this mean that there should be 2 entries in both of the civicrm.settings.php files -- one for the front-end and one for the back-end? Or, just that the URL varies based on location (i.e., front-end vs. backend)?

My other thought was to clear the cached files in .../media/civicrm.

Could anyone provide some guidance on these issues?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks Hershel.

I tried clearing /templates_c and executed the URL (<joomla_site>/administrator/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/admin/setting/updateConfigBackend?reset=1). This seemed to work for a bit but then reverted back.

So, I went through the steps again, being more careful this time and accessing  Administer >> System Settings >> Cleanup Caches and Update Paths. I then rebuilt the menus, though I think the breadcrumb menu was already solved.

So far, so good, but it hasn't been that long.

I am NOT having any success with being able to save Joomla Access Control permissions, though. When trying to save, instead of the page (in lightbox) refreshing with the changes made, I get the Joomla Global Configuration page.

I see another post regarding the same problem in the Using Core CiviCRM Functions board http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,25743.msg108840.html#msg108840.

Any ideas what could be going on here? It doesn't seem that the update is making it to the #_assets table at all. Could there be some kind of caching problem?

Just throwing out some ideas. Any thoughts would be helpful.
