When calling an AJAX Method in a Module Helper file the method has to be static. I have no app context there, when doing the following: public static function getDataAjax() { $data = ExampleHelper::getJArticles(); return $data; } public static function getJArticles(){ $app = Joomla\CMS\Factory::getApplication(); $model = $app->bootComponent('com_content')->getMVCFactory()->createModel('Articles', 'Site', ['ignore_request' => true]); $articles = $model->getItems(); return $articles; } An error 500 got thrown: Call to a ..read more

While configuring other things I noticed that homepage is set to a "Featured articles" page in an invisible menu. Now I'm considering adding it to 2 visible menus in 2 languages. I'm not too sure what the best approach for this would be as setting "Featured articles" as homepage is extremely weird compared to e.g. Wordpress in the 1st place. Do I move the "Featured articles" entry to the displayed menu in 1 language, then add URL /de entry to the German one? Or is there an better practice for this in Joomla 4 I'm missing ..read more

I am having a terrible time upgrading from 3.10.12 to 4.4 as well and received the same Ajax error / 90.2% completed, and then a bricked site that displays no content and has no admin login. I suspect I have an old template (3rd party, purchased from Crosstec), but it's not clear to me how to fix that. I suspect my extensions also need to be updated, but it doesn't seem like Joomla knows where to find them. The Update tab on the Extensions page says "There are no updates available at the moment." I have fixed the bricked site using Akeeba backup / drop databases a few times. I have used Akeeba ..read more

I'm editing a website on Joomla 4.4.3 with someone's custom template, based on T4. I noticed that some of CSS is missing when I switch to German language. For example: @media (min-width: 992px) { .nav-breakpoint-lg.oc-desktop .t4-offcanvas-toggle { position: absolute; top: 50%; right: 0; margin-top: -12px; } } It is part of css/template.css file. I searched the entire template directory and didn't find any other references to that definition. I don't see any relation of CSS to language anywhere in the panel, Googling things like "Joomla language specific CSS" or "Joomla l ..read more

I'm struggling with finding a good way to have a control (or controls) on a form which allow the user to browse and select a file in a folder tree. There may be several thousand files in several hundred folders (nested up to 4 levels deep). The best I can do is use the folderlist field (with recursive="true") and a separate filelist field (which only shows files in a single folder) but this is not very nice - when the folder selection changes it has to submit the form to refresh the filelist, and the user has to separately open the filelist to see the files in the folder. What I am after is so ..read more

I'm using a very vanilla install of Joomla 5.1, and trying to use the content API. So a simple API call like... curl -X GET "https://example.com/api/index.php/v1/content/articles" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Accept: application/vnd.api+json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" ...or even simpler, like... curl -X GET "https://example.com/api/index.php/v1/content/articles" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" ...just returns... {"errors":{"code":500,"title":"Internal server error"}} ...but the strange thing is, it returns the correct article json if I set Jo ..read more
