Widget not showing colors or text in 2.0.3
May 03, 2008, 09:20:24 am
I tried making a widget in Joomla! with 2.0.3, but it will not display the text or modify the colors.  It saves this information, but it does not apply it. I did not have this issue in 2.0.2.

Does this problem occur in the back-end (Administration) - when you're configuring the widget (Manage Contribution Pages >> Configure >> Widget)? Or only in the front-end?

Both.

The information is in the database, so I know that is not the problem.

Elin - I just tested the backend (Configure contribution page >> Create Widget form) in our Joomla demo (J 1.0.14 with Civi 2.0.3) and it works fine. Not sure what's going on - but one thing to check is the "serviceUrl" parameter in the embed code (you can see this in the HTML code block exposed in the textarea to the right of the widget). This needs to point to the correct joomla / civicrm instance so it can get the values from the DB...

In our demo, the parameter is:
Code: [Select]
<param name="flashvars" value="serviceUrl=http://joomla.demo.civicrm.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/packages/amfphp/gateway.php&contributionPageID=1&widgetID=1">

I admit it, I'm using 1.5, but it worked beautifully  in 2.0.2 on 1.5 on xamp.

And I made a really lovely module so it could be installed anywhere.

As far as I know we didn't make any changes to this section of the code between 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 - so my best guess is this is a configuration issue. Did you check the serviceUrl parameter I mentioned below?

Yes I did check it, and it was fine. I'm thinking maybe there is a servr configuration issue.b

Onthing that is weird, if I navigate to

administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/packages/amfphp/gateway.php&contributionPageID=1&widgetID=1"

on the site that works it says Object not Found

on the site that doesn't work it just says a normal Not Found.

If I go to gateway.php on either I get a message that it is installed

Okay change the & after gateway.php to a ? and it finds the location. That I think is a bug.

But it doesn't solve the problem.

That ampersand is a bug - i've fixed in trunk (but it didn't seem to stop things from working in our installs, nor in your 2.0.2 install)??

You can see if fixing that helps your situation by changing the ampersand to a question mark in line 3 of templates/CRM/Contribute/Form/ContributionPage/Widget.tpl

If that doesn't help, not sure what next steps to diagnose this are?? Maybe others have an idea...
