Hi,
on posting a new message if I click on [Create Poll] or [Show all Smilies] I get a popup when (small) with a copy of the new message creation page inside. Obviously this is a javascript problem. Any ideas?

What browser are you using?

Works fine in all of the browsers I have access to. Plus I never heard of such a problem before, so I think this is an issue with your browser.

This is in IE, but not a problem in firefox.
The only difference between the source for this post page and the one on my site is that I have path_info instead of the default template.

So here we have
Quote:

onClick="javascript: window_open('index.php?t=poll&rid=1299&SQ=72a1f8bff2bc44cbd ac0685082c868ae&frm_id=16', 'poll_creator', 400, 300);">


And I have
Quote:

onClick="javascript: window_open('index.php/po/4/?SQ=0a799e6ae04cb97bc0275cdcfbc6a225', 'poll_creator', 400, 300);">

Think I have it.

Becaue we are using slashes, it thinks the current directory is /index.php/r/frm_id/2/

So in my case I changed the javascript lib.js to say

window.open("/newforum/"+ url,winName,options);

I realiase this is a clumsy hack, but it works for now Wink

I'll try to replicate the problem in IE in a few days,
but I have not seen reports of such a problem with IE.

I've been experiencing this same problem, which I noticed in particular with the Change Passwords link on the Profile page and the Move Topic link on the Thread page, where instead of the change password popup or the list of forum destinations for the topic move, the calling page is loaded in the popup window. Interestingly, I've gotten this result on Windows XP/IE 6.0 and Windows 2000/IE 5.5 (and have heard from a few members of our community that they have had the same problems, though without specifying their platform/browser); however, on Mac OSX/IE 5.2 and Windows XP/Firebird .07 the behavior is as expected (iow, the proper target page is loaded in the popup). In both cases, I tracked it down to the javascript onClick event calling the popup window, so I was fascinated by mocara's explanation.

However, mocara's solution--adding "/newforum/"+ to the lib.js for window.open--didn't quite work; while I no longer got the calling page reloaded in the popup window, I instead got a 404 error, page not found. So the variable "/newforum/" isn't returning the correct forum path, but it is eliminating the problem of the index.php being considered the root.

I'm going to keep looking into this, but any and all suggestions are welcome. As Ilia knows, we have a customized install of three FUD forums running against a single shared database (with merge tables for the 2nd and 3rd forums). We want to use path_info, but as our user base is about 75% IE on Windows (whose isn't, unless you're a Mac-oriented site?), we have to be sure these links work correctly.

I'm assuming you are replacing /newforum/ with the directory name where your fud is installed? I know that sounds silly, but I thought I'd check Smile

Well, I am sometimes guilty of being overly literal, but yes, I did. I also tried it with "/newforum/" just for kicks, but in both cases I get the 404 error.

Hello.

Looking at your site now, you haven't changed your lib.js.
In your case surely it should be.

window.open("/"+ url,winName,options);


No?

Actually, I changed it, then changed it back since the fix didn't work and I didn't want to be generating 404 errors. Curse me for a novice, but I didn't try "/"+ ... I'll give that a shot now.

Hey, that seems to have done the trick!

Thanks for the help!
