CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I did a totally fresh install of 4.4 on joomla 3.2 after the release.  The install itself went fine but the civicrm css files are definitely not being included. I looked at source and inspected both the demo and my install in detail and that's the big difference --- there is never any reference to civicrm.css, joomla.css or the civicrm jquery files.    Bits and pieces of css show up in specific places where the tpl asks for them.  The menu of course doesn't show, but if you look at source it's there and all the links are perfect (I was thinking perhaps there was a wrong base url).  I've also tried all the permutations of the custom css.  Also templates_c etc, all of the usual things.  I'll look at it some more but since I haven't seen anyone talking about new installs I figured I'd go ahead and say I think there may be a problem.  I think that the css files should be loading in the civicrm.php file but it seems as though nothing happens there although there is no error or warning. 

  $config = CRM_Core_Config::singleton();
  $resources->addStyleFile('civicrm', 'css/civicrm.css', -97, 'html-header');
  if (!$config->userFrameworkFrontend) {
    $resources->addStyleFile('civicrm', 'css/joomla.css', -97, 'html-header');
  }
  else {
    $resources->addStyleFile('civicrm', 'css/joomla_frontend.css', -97, 'html-header');
  }


Hi Brian,

The files are definitely all there, I checked and checked permissions too.  And it's finding all the things that are directly added like the images.  If I copy the source with the links from the demo site directly into the joomla template index it works perfectly.

Update

Update:
Changing to
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
  $document->addStyleSheet('/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/css/civicrm.css');
 
  if (!$config->userFrameworkFrontend) {
 
  $document->addStyleSheet('/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/css/joomla.css');

  }
 
though of course you wouldn't want to hard code that path.

I'm really not sure why the current code is not working for me, I have a site on 4.3, same host, same Joomla and it seems okay there. though maybe I will look into that in more detail also.

So now I have css but I still don't have the jquery.

Somewhat related in terms of flexibility  I think if possibly the css, js and images should get copied to media/com_civicrm so we can make JHtml to access them more easily.
http://docs.joomla.org/CodeExample:JHtml::stylesheet

Then there could be something like
JHtml::_('civicrumui')
to load the whole thing. 

Maybe worth me fooling around with?

Bingo, the files were copied but the install did not complete.  I was able to discover install them though.


I was looking at the install script because the installation is done there rather than using the install api, which basically reflects the fact that the packaging was put together before there was an api for installing a package of extensions.

I know I was looking at part of that before and the Fn workaround was not working and the query was bad as a result.
$tableExtensions = $db->$quoteFn("#__extensions");
    $columnElement   = $db->$quoteFn("element");
    $columnType      = $db->$quoteFn("type");
    $columnEnabled   = $db->$quoteFn("enabled");

Also quoteName() is supported in 1.6-2.5, it's just the deprecated nameQuote() was removed. There was no change in 3.0 (despite what the code comment says) so you could save some ms  by just using quoteName().
Were all returning empty.
