I think, it will be better, because Phoca Gallery is not the only one which use the Modal box behaviour in Joomla

Hi Jan and anyone else,

on my page same Prob occured:
http://www.gesangverein-jedesheim.de/in ... w=category& id=8&Itemid=89

but i don't belive, that the template is the reason for.
i've tried different templates - and no one works (including the templates basically installed by the Joomla-Framework).

i think another modul or component "destroy" something.

Question to everybody: is somebody of you, using the "Ajax shoutbox" or the "Turtu Shoutbox" - i think, one of them is responsible for the prob.

i think of remembering, that the Modal worked well untill installing a shoutbox - but of course i can be wrong.

Has somebody tryed ever to restore the modal.* files from the original joomla installation?

one maybe interesting thing additionally:
modal box in the backend works well

if the modal box works well in backend, it means, that in backend there is no extension which will cause problems with modal box ... mostly the uninstalling some extension (component, module, plugin) will solve this problem ... the problem can be caused by overwritting standard modal box class with some extendend class.. but this will cause problems for all items which should use the standard modal box class...

Hello,

I have the same problem. Interestingly enough, it only occurs when using the plugin, meaning a menu entry showing a phoca gallery category works absolutely fine with modal box etc. Here you can see what I mean:
with Plugin
on menu
Also logging in as described before doesn't change anything.
Since it only occurs when used in a content article I thought it might have something to do with other content plugins. I have already uninstalled the moobot and replaced /media/system/modal.css (and the entire /media/system folder) with the original file from the package in case something had been changed.
Apart from the standard content plugins I have the following installed:
- Content - XTypo
- DefinitionBot
- Google Maps
(Of which none I think use modal boxes)
Also: switching to standard popup box doesn't do the job, plugin still opens in same frame full size. Can't be template either since it dosn't even work with joomla standard template.
@Jimme: I use none of the components you asked about.

Anybody got an idea? I am running out of ideas. Would be the perfect component...

Thanks in advance

On my site there is this one too:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/joomla/includes/js/joomla.javascript.js"></
script>


Try to add into template...

and try to change the path, some css and js have the full path:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mhbecker.eu//modules/mod_swmenupr
o/moo.fx.js"></script>

but the modal not:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/system/js/modal.js"></script>


I think, it should be not the problem, but try to test it...

If there is no conflict in modal, there can be wrong path to css ar js of the modal box ???

Hi Jan,

I have found what caused the problem: it was the swmenupro module creating the sidemenu on the left. There were three javascript files, one of them overwriting the classes (or so I think). I have changed the menutype to a non-selfopening menu and it works amazingly now.

Cheers for your help! Brought me onto the right track.

Hello Jan,

found out that Turtu-Shoutbox has caused the Problems with Phoca.

there was one option in the Shoutbox-Parameter:
Use local jQuery JS?
( ) No, I have already included jQuery JS file
( ) Yes, use local

When using Yes =>Phoca down - Shoutbox ok
When using No => Phoca OK - Shoutbox down

conclusion:
No Shoutbox

Thanks a lot for your assistance!!!
