For some reasons, your file /administrator/components/com_easydiscuss/includes/easydiscuss.php is not on the latest version. Not entirely sure why but I have updated this with the proper file and it works fine now.

Did you added any hacks or modifications on this file? I have renamed the old file to easydiscuss.backup.php and the page loads up fine now.

Thank you Mark,

Yes I did upload a modified file as was made available to me following an earlier support request regarding submit/reply button not working. I was under the impression that I had to reupload it after updates - obviously I won't anymore

Appreciate your help.

Thanks for updating me on this Peter! When you replaced the easydiscuss.php file, you were actually replacing the older version of the file which would fail because in the newer version, this file is different

OK it now seems that with the correct easydiscuss.php file in place the original problem of the submit button not working is back!

When typing a forum reply and submitting nothing appears to happen although if the whole page is refreshed the reply is in place.

See previous support request https://stackideas.com/forums/submit-reply-button-appears-not-to-work

Also it seems that forum replies are no longer appearing on the EasySocial timeline, could that be connected?

Can you help with this please?

hey peter,

I already applied those specific fix into this file again, JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easydiscuss/includes/easydiscuss.php

can you try download and replace into this file location and see how it goes?

Yep, that's great Arlex thank you!

Do I need to keep uploading this one when the component is updated?

You're welcome. I already attached a screenshot this is the code you need to put in this that function from this file JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easydiscuss/includes/easydiscuss.php for every new release version in the future.

		if (! $saGroup) {

			$obj = new stdClass();

			$obj->id = 8;



			$saGroup[] = $obj;

		}

Because I afraid when you replace back the file in latest version, it might causing other issue like what you reported here. I think the best way is manually put the code what i mentioned in the screenshot.

Hope this will help.

Thank you - much appreciated!

You are most welcome Peter. By the way, you really need to fix your Joomla groups because it certainly will be an issue for you in the long run.

Hello Peter,

Hm, when we have some free time (as we are now addressing issues with EasyBlog), I will try to see if Sam has some time to spare to assist you with this.

That would be very much appreciated....

Thanks for understanding Peter

OK, this problem of the Submit/Reply buttons (as well as the topic moderation buttons) not responding has happened again.

I'm not aware of any changes on my site that might have upset anything and I updated to the latest ED version just now to see if that fixed the problem. I also altered 'easydiscuss.php' as outlined above but no good.

So at the moment no topics can be added, replied to or moderated.

Could you advise please?

Thanks

Hey Peter,

It seems like this plugin -> System - Regular Labs Library causing this issue.

The issue is some how this plugin override all the 'easydiscuss' word to 'Forums' , you can check my attached screenshot below.

So it will break all the Easydiscuss script on the page.

As long as you disable this plugin from backend, it will work perfectly fine.

I believe there just misconfiguration from the Regular configuration page, because I saw a lot of our customer also using this Regular component, everything is fine.

Can you try remember what you configure previously something related this 'easydiscuss' word change to 'Forums' on the page.

Thank you Arlex, well spotted. That was my fault!

I wanted to change all instances of the word 'Easydiscuss' to 'Forums' in the front end of the site not realising that it would change in the code as well

As always, brilliant support from you guys

BTW is there a way to change words 'Easydiscuss' to 'Forums' as my users have no idea what Easydiscuss is whereas they understand what 'Forums' are?

You're welcome Peter

Perhaps you can provide us some of the screenshot which part you referring to? so we can provide the language constant which you can override this 'Easydiscuss' to 'forums' word on the page.

The main one would be in the Input box at the top of relevant pages. I think it will encourage users to make forum posting directly from there instead of having to actually go to the forums to create a post.

Hi there,

You can do your own translations on this string 'APP_USER_EASYDISCUSS_STORY' at this path .../administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.plg_app_user_discuss.ini or you can do template override on your backend as follows http://take.ms/JnBQE by referring to our documentation as follow https://stackideas.com/docs/easydiscuss/administrators/configuration/creating-language-string-override

By the way, i have changed it for you using language override and it is working as it should now. Please give it a check and see how it goes

Perfect - thank you!
