CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Installed 4.5 beta 5 supposedly successfully  (got a green message saying successful install) on localhost but a few things aren't working. I am really new to WordPress and (as is well known) essentially a non-techie, so I have no clues about how to check if these things are caused by a setting on my system (which is what I presume) or are something to do with the actual wp 4.5 beta 5 source file - but I will try to find out if pointed in the right direction.

Things I have noticed so far:

• Arrow image broken on administer menu (image attached) Also applies to other places it should appear on navigation menu
• Administer>CiviCase>Case Type takes me to a blank screen(Image attached)
• Administer>System Settings>Debugging and Error Handling.  Can choose Yes for Enable debugging but defaults to No when I save (but Display backtrace saves as Yes)
• None of the little help symbols that I have tested so far link to anything  - message is always "unable to load help file"
• I can't do any inline edits.  The edit screen never appears ( although the triangle spins beautifully) and I get the message "Network Error
  Unable to reach the server. Please refresh this page in your browser and try again."
• I have enabled logging which usually means there is no number on the change log tab and that the change log screen has 5 columns instead of only 2. But those changes aren't apparent even though the logging tables are in the DB and that change I have made since then was logged.

Hello,

I've installed a fresh Civi 4.5 beta 5 on WP 3.9.2, and I'm having the exact same issues than Joanne.
see my initial post here : http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,33607.0.html (v4.5 b3 - 07/18)

+ I cannot use the quick search box at the top left, no results are showing up whatever the number of letters I put there (normal contact search is working). See my initial post : http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,33594.0.html (v4.5 b3 - 07/18)

+ Cannot use any search box in "Add registration" or "Add new relationship", it keeps searching but no results ( see my initial post : http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,33599.0.html  (v4.5 b3 - 07/18)

+ Cannot add or remove "Tags" -> "Sorry an error occured and you information was not saved"
see my initial post : http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,33602.0.html (v4.5 b3 - 07/18)

+  Issue with selecting search results and chosing action to be done
See my initial post : http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,33597.0.html (v4.5 b3 - 07/18)

+ Issue when trying to use template for a new event >> selecting templates has no consequence (form is not reloaded according to chosen template) (similar issue here : http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,33600.0.html v4.5 b3 - 07/18)

+ issues when selecting an other address for an event : see my intial post here http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,33601.0.html (v4.5 b3 - 07/18)

I checked the resource URL + directories settings + path. Nothing
FYI : the base directory is filled in like this : "c:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress/wp-content/plugins\files\civicrm\templates_c\en_US\
I don't know if it makes a difference whether it's "\" or "/" but when I tried to save the path with full "/" or full "\", it keeps it like it is.

Considering all this bugs, I would say it's a no-go to implement this version of 4.5 on a WP site.

Please advise.
Thanks

Hello Coleman,

Thanks for reply.

I tried to change the "new base directory"
from C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\files\civicrm\templates_c\en_US\
to c:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\files\ (as explained here : http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Migrating+from+Drupal+to+WordPress)
But even if I saved the change, it is not taken into account, and remains with "\civicrm\templates_c\en_US\" at the end.

I checked in the DB and did not find any field with this value. Only the "civicrm_settings.php" file contains this data as value for "CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR" / FYI $civicrm_root = 'C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\wordpress\\wp-content\\plugins\\civicrm\\civicrm\\';
 which seems to be good.

Regarding the error with AJAX, you were right, it's case #1 "Object not found" - Bugzilla is returning this information when I tried to search for "BACH" :

Warning: CRM.url called before initialization
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server.
The link on the <a href="http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/admin.php%3fpage=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/admin&reset=1">referring page</a> seems to be wrong or outdated.

Could you please advise how to proceed ?
Thanks

The quicksearch bar was getting messed up by wordpress css. I've fixed it in the next beta.

There's definitely something wrong with your paths, but what?
The lack of CRM.url initialization is troubling -- this should be done by your l10n script. View page source and search for the string 'civicrm/dynamic/l10n'. That should show you a <script> tag. I assume the src in that tag is wrong. What is it? What happens if you click on it?

Issue is certainly there, because looking at the WP sandbox, the correct URL is :
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://wordpress.sandbox.civicrm.org/wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/dynamic/l10n-en_US.js">
</script>

How should I fix it ?

URLs are :
CiviCRM Resource URL  : http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/
Image Upload URL : http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/persist/contribute/

Even with this set URL remains src="http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/\dynamic/l10n-en_US.js">

Thanks Coleman, I tried the fix and it seems to correct the /\ issue as code source is correct now :
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/dynamic/l10n-en_US.js">
</script>

But I don't have a "dynamic" folder in "c:/xampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/"
How is it possible that this folder is missing ?

Image Upload URL is : http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/persist/contribute/
Images directory path is : C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\files\civicrm\persist\contribute\
