TOPIC: Problem with Votitaly rating system

Hi again

After finally managing to display the stars between the content and the comments, I realized that when Joomlacomment is active, I can not vote clicking the cute stars.

I guess it has something to do with Votitaly's Ajax. When I hover over the stars, they respond normally (displaying the filled star image), but when I try to click a star nothing happens.

In the Joomla Extensions Directory, in the Votitaly page , some comments say something about having problems with JoomlaComment, although some other say it works OK.

Any idea on how to fix this?

without a page for demonstration I can not even tell you if you are right

Of course, sorry. Im sending you a link to the test site on a PM. Thanks.

There is one javascript error on the page (I don't know if it is the reason for the problem)

Fx.Transitions is undefined
anonymous()index.ph...Itemid=23 (Zeile 101)
[Break on this error] transition: Fx.Transitions.Cubic.easeOut,\n

It comes from something called rockzoom. Try disabling it and see if it works.

I disabled it, but problem persisted.

Rokzoom comes from the rockettheme template. I also tried disabling the mootools powered menu. It only happens when both Votitaly and Jommlacomments are on the same page.

Tahnks a lot for your time.

It works completely fine for me, I clicked a star and it all went through with no errors, and I even made a new comment straight afterwards.

Try disabling JoomlaComment plugin and testing again. Also try using the modern template in JoomlaComment if you are not already as it is the most compatible.

I don't know why some users on Extension page report it not working with JoomlaComment. Maybe they have an old version of Joomla or old version of JoomlaComment, I really don't know.

But I also have hacked my own Joomla 1.5.14 MooTools library, because there is a bug in there for IE7/8.

...it might be a different Line than 2148 depending on the version of Joomla you have. And I have no idea if this will fix it, but it's the only "core hack" I have on my local Joomla dev site which has JoomlaComment and VOTItaly working fine. Everything else is standard.

Also try completely switching your Joomla theme to ja_purity or another Joomla default. If you find that it's solved after that, you will need to take this up with RocketTheme because we don't have a subscription and from what I'm told, they pretty much ignore everyone who contacts them to try and work together to fix conflicts with their templates.

Hi

Thanks again for your great support. I tried what you said Jonus. Seems like the problem comes from an interaction between Votitaly and Joomlacomment's MT template. With any of the other templates it works fine.

I tried also with JAPurity Frontend Template, and the problem is still there.

Do you want me to try enything else? Should I mention this problem and solution in my review for Votitaly in Js Extension directory?

Thank you vey much

Are you using the include library option in the backend of joomlacomment. Try turning it off.

Of course, that solved the problem. When I first tried to fix this, I looked for that option but didn't find it at the first glance and only tried turning off Ajax support.

Thanks a lot.

k, that make sense. The include library option is to be used only if joomla doesn't include the MT library or jquery. Since joomla comes with Mootools it should be turned off

Well, Toni you can write the above info when you make your review for VOTitaly.

Hope we will see a review for joomlacomment too

Done

I did a Joomlacomment review last week, for some reason thay haven't published it yet.

Thanks again.

Yeah, I had a feeling it was a MooTools conflict.

Hang tight Toni, the next release should include a new template - NeoSlide - which is designed to replace all the JQ/MT sliding templates, and uses 100% its own JavaScript include - that is, it's not dependant on jQuery or MooTools at all, and should therefore be 100% compatible (or at least 99% until we bugfix it more after it's released and someone no-doubt finds bugs with it) heh.
