Using both FF3 and Safari, on a fresh installation (with sample data) of J1.5.20 and 3.3.1 CK Editor, I am unable to make Jlink produce any results when searching for an article title.

Any ideas why??

Hi cubefree.

Thank you for your post.

This is very likely a file permission issue! The plugin is attempting to respond with a list of searched result but has not been given permission to do so hence your issue.

The recommended values for Joomla is, 755 and 0644 for folders and files respectively. For more information on Joomla’s system requirement please see the official link below:

*docs.joomla.org/Security_and_Performance...ctory_permissions.3F
* docs.joomla.org/Security_Checklist_2_-_H...erver_configurations

suPHP is a Apache module which is a recommend server-side requirement for those using Joomla. If you are using suPHP or something similar then you are able to use the recommended values, 755 and 0644 for folders and files respectively. If not then try using the less secure way of 777.

Please see: joomlawebhosting.ca/joomla-15-tips/69-jo...ile-permissions.html for more on this matter. If you are unsure that this is operational then the best thing to do is to ask your hosting provider.

This is not to say that the editor will not work if you are using a different configuration however, you may have to play around with your servers file permissions to get the editor to function correctly, - So this maybe the cause of your troubles.

Take care,

Thank you considerably for your thorough answer.

However, I am using the portion of the dialog box: "Enter the first letters of the article title: " which is linking to an article in the database, correct?

So, why would file permissions make a difference?

What if the database is on a different server?

Hi cubefree.

YES - the problem is that if the php file does not have 755 or 777 it is not able to execute and therefore an able to work.

Our hosting provider is JoomlaWired which hosts its database on a different server for its files. The Editor uses the same setting as Joomla so if Joomla is able to connect to the database server then editor will also.

Take care,


Paul

But which PHP file? public_html/plugins/editors/jckeditor/plugins/jlink/dialogs/suggest.php

right?

And I don't need other plugins, to make this work??

OK, afer about 45m of research and a simple test. It turns out that installing Joomla via Fantastico on my webserver (HostGator) is a different implementation than downloading the version file from www.joomla.org/download.html, setting up the database and doing it myself.

Very odd. But after I downloaded via Joomla site, did the install (incl sample data), and installed JCK Editor. VOILA!

It all works just fine. Thanks!

Does this plugin works better if Register Globals is OFF? That was different in my second attempt as well.
