Hi,

I am using J3.9.1, JCE 2.6.33 Pro and Helix Ultimate 1.0
In frontend editing I cannot open the JCE File Browser. I get an error 404.
I have activated the option "JCE File Browser in Image Fields". Clicking on any media type field or custom field type mediajce produces an error 404 in the popup.

There is already a quite long blog post in Joomshaper forum:
https://www.joomshaper.com/forums/create-article-in-frontent#reply-165460
Do you have an idea? How to solve that?

Thanks

The Helix template includes an override for the media field - plugins/system/helixultimate/html/layouts/form/field/media.php - but it looks like there is an error in it.

From line 134 - 146 it reads:


<?php
$modalLink = '';

if(!$readonly)
{
if(!$link)
{
$modalLink .= 'index.php?option=com_media&view=images&tmpl=component&asset=' . $asset . '&author=' . $authorField;
}

$modalLink .= '&fieldid=' . $id . '&folder=' . $folder;
}
?>


but I think it should be:


<?php
$modalLink = '';

if(!$readonly)
{
if(!$link)
{
$modalLink .= 'index.php?option=com_media&view=images&tmpl=component&asset=' . $asset . '&author=' . $authorField;
} else {
$modalLink .= $link;
}

$modalLink .= '&fieldid=' . $id . '&folder=' . $folder;
}
?>

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

Are you using an installed SEF extension, or Joomla SEF?

There is no SEF extensions.
if Joomla Core SEF is activated. --> Click on upload button --> modal with error 404
if Joomla Core SEF is deactivated --> click on upload button --> modal with homepage

I am using the custom field type "mediajce" in the frontend.

Have you set any custom rules in the sites htaccess file?

hm, no, it is Joomla default htaccess
I renamed htaccess to htaccess.txt and i turned off all Joomla SEO params.
Then the modal file browser popup shows:
The requested URL /&fieldid=jform_com_fields_foto&folder= was not found on this server.

I tried to deactivated a few extensions/plugins, that might bring problems like admin tools
but still the same problem.
It works in protostar - so probably it is a bootstrap 4 issue.
How can i debug this - the site is in a dev environment online?

Hi,

After the last update of helix ultimate, they have changed the code inside: plugins/system/helixultimate/html/layouts/form/field/media.php and we have the same issue again. "In frontend editing, I cannot open the JCE File Browser. I get an error 404."

So, your above solution does not work, can you please check and see how to fix it?

Thank you.

JCE: 2.8.9 pro

This can only be fixed in the Helix Ultimate template, using the same fix as I suggested above.

you need to FTP into your site - it's not accessible from within Joomla. Either through CPanel at your webhost or an FTP program

check the layouts folder - poke around until you find the media.php file

#106824
ok - after poking around in helix3 - the file and function don't exist. (no wonder you can't find it). This is a really old template - helix ultimate is so much better. I'd consider changing to be honest.

here is the content of the media.php file, can we do any change here?

#106828
maybe someone else can fix the code for Helix3, but it's not a JCE problem. perhaps grab the solution above and post the question on JoomShaper. I don't see the issue in the media.php file (sorry)
