Hi

I've tried twice to no avail. I would like to test this component before I purchase the full version. When I install on a fresh Joomla 2.5.1 environment I get the following install errors.

Even though I can access the component options in the backend and front end, there are script errors everywhere.

Please can you assist further - I would really like to buy this component but not until I know these issues can be resolved.

Sorry I meant to post this error too, this is what I see on the front-end, with a menu link to simply list the newest job postings:

I tried adding a menu link to list job categories. That works fine (no errors) but when I click on one of the categories it has this error at the top:

I did some googleling and found this, I am going to try manualy apply this fix and see if it works:

Looking at the code, we see:

$client = (string) $this->manifest->attributes()->client;
$lang->load($extension . '.sys', $source, null, false, false)
|| $lang->load($extension . '.sys', constant('JPATH_' . strtoupper($client)), null, false, false)
|| $lang->load($extension . '.sys', $source, $lang->getDefault(), false, false)
|| $lang->load($extension . '.sys', constant('JPATH_' . strtoupper($client)), $lang->getDefault(), false, false);

Looking at the bold and underlined sections above, it becomes clear [if you know php and know that in this case the manifest is the XML install manifest file after it has been parsed] that the system is trying to determine which side of the site to install the module: the SITE or the ADMIN. The fix in the insall was then relatively straightforward: where 1.5 assumes all installs are performed in the SITE unless told otherwise, for 2.5 you have to declare it specifically in the manifest:

<install type=”module” version=”1.5.0″ method=”upgrade” client=”site”>

simply add “client=site” (or admin, if you prefer) to the module manifest file.

The same issue will most likely strike with any extension that can have a front-end or back-end installation: modules, languages and templates, to name a few.

IMO, this is really a bug in Joomla!, and has been reported as such: constants shouldn’t be chosen dynamically from user input such as a manifest file. Instead, the code should use a switch statement or some other method, then either use reasonable defaults as used to be the case (most modules are for the site, right?) or fail gracefully with an error message if it can’t determine where to load the files.

Let’s hope this is addressed in a future version of the Joomla! core. In the meantime, module authors can use this solution to update their manifest files and solve the “Couldn’t find constant JPATH_” errors for their customers.

Just tried and it still comes up with errors. Will keep looking around until the developer replies.
