What is this, that you posted?

Hello, please don't mind me barging in, I'm new here.

I have the same issue as mcathereal. When I try to install Joomfish 1.8 I end up with a blank screen. At that time the website also goes blank. In the backend all Joomfish menuitems (Components -> Joom!Fish -> ...) also show blank screens.

The php error log does not seem to log any errors nor does MySQL.

The server runs windows 2000 server with IIS5.0, PHP5 and MySQL5.

I've been looking into it myself and when I look at the file install.joomfish.php it seems to go wrong in the next part

Code: Select all

   $database->setQuery( "ALTER TABLE `#__jf_content` ADD INDEX `jfReferenceTable` ( `reference_table` ) ;");
   $database->query();
   
    // Information text
   require_once( $adminDir . "/joomfish.class.php");
   $joomFishManager = new JoomFishManager( dirname( __FILE__ ) );

   require_once( JOOMFISH_ADMINPATH . '/admin.joomfish.html.php' );
   if( file_exists( JOOMFISH_ADMINPATH . '/help/joomfish.help.inc_' . $mosConfig_lang . '.php' ) ){
      require_once( JOOMFISH_ADMINPATH . '/help/joomfish.help.inc_' . $mosConfig_lang . '.php' );
   } else {
      require_once( JOOMFISH_ADMINPATH .'/help/joomfish.help.inc.php' );
   }

   HTML_joomfish_help::showPostInstall();

   return;

The index gets created correctly and from there on something seems to go wrong.
Maybe this helps in resolving mcathereal's and my problem.

PS: Joomfish 1.7 seems to install fine.

...the following might also be a hint in what goes wrong.

In the backend in the list of Installed Components Joomfish only shows the "Component Menu Link". The rest like "Author", "Version", "Date", "Author E-mail" and "Author URL" are blank while in the lists of Mambots and Modules the joomfish related items do have all columns filled in.

Could be a path problem - if I remember correctly this comes up quite often in IIS. Can't test myself but you could put a few debug messages in the install script to check the values of $adminDir and JOOMFISH_ADMINPATH (e.g. echo $adminDir."<br/>"; ).

I'm going to try that in a moment.

In the meantime I looked at joomfish.xml in the zip file and I noticed some things.

• In the joomfish.xml an image "images/flags/iw.gif" is mentioned however it is not present within the zip file. All images below that image (ja.gif - zh.gif) are not installed.
• The files mod_translate_no.png, mod_translate.php, mod_translate.png and mod_translate.xml which are present in the zip file where also not installed.

Uploading the missing files does not resolve the blank screens.

[Geraint]

Can you try removing the reference to "iw.gif" from the xml file in the zipped package

[Thrasher]

Removing the "iw.gif" from the xml file allows the other images to be installed.

About the mod_translate files not being installed I have to admit with shame that I was looking in the wrong modules directory. They do get installed.

Can't test myself but you could put a few debug messages in the install script to check the values of $adminDir and JOOMFISH_ADMINPATH (e.g. echo $adminDir."<br/>"; ).

Did that and both $adminDir and JOOMFISH_ADMINPATH come up with:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\joomla\administrator\components\com_joomfish

[Geraint]

Those paths look fine.

Can you set your error reporting to maximum and report any error message. e.g. by adding

Code: Select all

ini_set("display_errors",1);
ini_set("error_reporting_level",E_ALL);


to the start of your main admin index2 file. i.e. /administrator/index2.php
