Hi Rocket Team
I'm experiencing a problem with the profiles chooser in the Yootheme Nano template profiles management area with the MissionControl admin template installed. When try to assign a profile, the drop down chooser options are blank fields, you can select a profile position and choose 'rename' and the name is listed, but in its normal view the text/ ID is not visible again.
Joomla 1.5.23 system.
See attached screen shots show profile choosers with blank fields

Likewise when setting up a 'new' profile the new name is lost and becomes invisible, but is in the list and become visible in the 'edit' name' option, only to disappear when saved. image below shows screen grab of this

When creating a new one the value of the profile is saved and can be chosen by guesswork, perhaps you can take a look at this as you work through reported errors. It a super admin template which I will be using despite this glitch as the profiles are not in need of management continually, using Khepri in a crisis if its necessary.
Hope you can resolve this in the future
Regards

- I'm afraid we at RocketTheme do not have access to YooTheme's templates, so i'm not sure what the issue is. Undoubtedly it's a css thing, or worst case a phpquery glitch, so minor stuff, but until YooTheme releases a free GPL version of Nano, we're not going to be able to check it out. Of course as MC is GPL, you could ask the YooTheme guys what's going on?

Hi Andy
Thanks for your reply to this problem.
I can fully appreciate the problem of access to another companies products, however given that everything works OK in the base admin template Khepri, it seems unlikely to be the template, but something in MissionControl that is handling this style chooser, that is not compatible.
Again, given that MissionControl is very different this might be expected to a degree, but shouldn't it replicate the base functions of the Khepri model first with any enhancements added on that don't break this functionality.
I'm not knocking the template or Rockettheme, but looking to see this excellent template deliver a usability level that will reflect the quality of Rockettheme products as a whole. On this site I will have to resort to the default admin template and explore if the problem is present on other sites that I would like to see running MissionControl. Its not a total deal buster as the 'style chooser' is likely to have little use after set up.
However with the other issue I have with the Picnik extension it is not viable on the build for the current site project.
Hopefully a solution will surface and we can all use it for all our projects. Perhaps the team can keep an open mind and have this on the list for resolution.
Keep up the good work.
David

Hello David,
We have received a fix from someone called Mark via email. Here is what he has done to solve the issue:
Edit the following file:
warp/systems/joomla.1.7/config/layouts/fields/profile.php
Find:$select[] = sprintf('<option %s />%s</option>', $control->attributes($attr, array('selected')), $profile); $selected[] = sprintf('<option %s />%s</option>', $control->attributes($attr), $profile);
Change above code to:$select[] = sprintf('<option %s >%s</option>', $control->attributes($attr, array('selected')), $profile); $selected[] = sprintf('<option %s >%s</option>', $control->attributes($attr), $profile);
Hope that helps

Hi Arfin
Thanks for the update on this and thanks to Mark for making his solution known, I'll make the change and see if this resolves the problem on my site.
I'll confirm this as soon as I can edit the file and test, its now a live site so will need to be discretely tested locally before applying to the live site. Its a step forward and hopefully will allow full use of the Mission Control template again. Thanks.
Regards
David

Hi Alex
As soon as I have tested on my site I'll post the result, good or bad, the posted remedy is for a J1.7 install and mine is on J1.5.25 and live at present so will make changes and test.
Regards
David

There is an easy fix to this: use a RocketTheme template, and not a YooTheme one

Even better, uninstall MC until you can support it 100%
