front-end integration [joomla]
April 25, 2008, 03:26:07 am
I've been struggling to make the front-end integration work. (Joomla) previous version was working well but this version 2.2 dose not work on front end at all.

I have followed the instructions from this link (3rd point) but NO luck.

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Configuring+Front-end+Event+Info+and+Registration+in+Joomla!+Sites


When I make the changes in the (root/index.php) as per above link admin page goes blank and shows following error…

“Template File Not Found! Looking for template: joomla_admin”

Does anyone have a solution? Please help……..

Link : (http://localhost/ joomla1.0.15/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/register&id=1&reset=1)

( I  was running test drive of event registration)

I really think Joomla front-end integration still needs some work to make it as functional as the back-end is.

Do your changes to the index.php file create that error message on all Joomla pages, or just when you navigate to a CiviCRM page? I don't think "joomla_admin" is a CiviCRM file. I would go back and make sure you added the session hack line to your index.php file in the right place.

Are you using 1.5? You don't need to do that for 1.5.

The file to be edited is the index.php which is in the root directory of your website.  That is the directory that apache serves when one enters www.yoursite.com into an address bar.

Dear FatherShawn,

Thank you!.

I still get the same error: "Template File Not Found! Looking for template:joomla_admin file"

Both admin side & front end goes white blank while showing the above error....

Kindly  advice.

Well, it is clearly a Joomla sessions problem.  And it is specific to something about your installation.  A quick Google on your error message led me to this posting which leads to the question are you logged into the admin section and also viewing the site via preview when testing?

If so, try logging out of the backend and coming to the site as a front end user...

Since only the backend normally uses sessions, are all backend functions normal before the edit?

FatherShawn you are right.

IT WORKS like charm. Thank you.

One more thing which I discovered is the changes made in the root/index.php depends on the version of joomla too..

For me - the fix was an update to my php.ini file

The Session Save Path was in conflict with my server settings

The default php.ini contained the line -
     ;session.save_path = /tmp

I updated this to match the Server Settings for my Host
     session.save_path = /home/USERACCOUNT/tmp

Then - logged back into Joomla Admin
Visited the System Menu >> System Info sub-menu >> Permissions tab
Scroll down to the bottom - ALL GREEN!

If the following line is RED in your configuration -
     Session Directory /   Unwriteable

I recommend checking with the Website Host on how to make the
Joomla Session Save Path Writeable!
