I could not save Joomla 3.1 admin options, so I increased my db user privileges. Now what I get is:
That is "**" everywhere - in menus. How can that be solved? Language is set to english, SEF is turned off, DB driver is mysql (tried mysqli also). Help appreciated.
This comes from debugging language strings. The asterisks are indicating, that the phrase actually is translated.
Go to the GLobal Configuration in the administration and select the System tab. There, set 'Debug Language' to 'No'.

I have a prestashop 1.6 installation, in multistore mode. I have some stores already running ok, but now I created a 'german' store with /de url, and have the following issue:
the shop url is something like www.example.com/de, visible and saved in admin
when I navigate to www.example.com/de, automatically I'm redirected to www.example.com/de/it/
I really cannot understand the reason why... All the other shops (fr, es) do work properly. This one does not. No way to keep it simply /de. I already setted a default language for it, I just copied all the settings from the other shops, seems all the same. I cannot spot the error. I also regenerated the htaccess. No way. Could you please suggest me why it is behaving that way?
Ah, funny thing: with firefox will go to www.example.com/de/it/ as described above, while with chrome will go to www.example.com/de/de/!!! No one simply stay www.example.com/de/.
Thank you, regards
Have a check the settings of the german store, probably you have multiple languages enabled / active in Localization > Languages and Prestashop , once you reach the shop homepage, performs a 301-redirect to the default language URL (default behaviour with multiple languages and URL rewriting).
About the funny thing : check the Localization > Localization setting "Set language from browser", this can lead to different language redirects depending of the browser language.
My Joomla Login Module asks for a "Secret Key". (Joomla Version 3.2.1)
This is confusing, was not necessary before. Can this be removed?
This is my demo website:

It's all about beer. Might be helpfull ;-)
Thanks for the help!
Two factor authentication is a new feature in Joomla 3.2.
If you have not set a 'Secret Key' for a user:
Go to Extensions > Plugin Manager
Set the Select Type filter to twofactorauth
You'll see two plugins enabled - Google and Yobikey - change their status to Disabled. A red X icon will show up
Clear the Joomla Cache
If you have actually set a key to your admin user, then there is no way out of it other than to go back to your last backup file.
Known bugs:
There was a bug Joomla 3.2, and this is fixed in Joomla v3.2.1
There is also a bug in the Gangry-framework with Joomla v3.2.1 (http://www.gantry-framework.org/) Which will be handeled by their development team.
You can now select in the plugin(s) to disable users (FrontEnd) from seeing the Secret Key but keep administrator login Secret Key.
You have "Two factor authentication" enabled. Nicely explained on this video: Joomla 3.2 - Two Factor Authentication
Actually, even if the two factor authentication has been set for admin user, the plugin still can be disabled directly in the database, so you don't have to revert to backups. Nice and easy:
UPDATE jos_extensions SET enabled=0 WHERE name LIKE 'plg_twofactorauth_%';
Refresh the login page, et voila! :)
in the Joomla "Search" type in twofactorauth right click the two that populate and select open in new tab for both.
Each tab will display two difference plugins enabled.
You will have a choice of Site Section for each,
You can choose (site frontend) (Administrator Backend) (both) So if you don't want your users to see it select, Administrator Backend, rather then disable it.
SO...
Site front end - Only Users will have a secret key
Administrator back end - Only Administrators will have a secret key
Both - Both users and admins will have a secret key field
If your template is rockettheme
1.- In your template/css folder create a file called rt_yourtemplatename-custom.css
2.- Add the following code:
p#form-login-secretkey {
display: none;
}
3.- Done!
My client has Joomla! ver 1.5.14 installed on the remote server. I logged in using the url /administrator/ with login 'admin'. When landed on the admin page after successful login, I observed that the top menu has only two elements, Site and Help. All other elements like Menus, Content, Components, Extensions etc are not there.
Also I do not find any way to access those elements (menus, components). There are not icons on the screen to access them.
Could someone please help me figure out this issue?
Thanks in advance

EDIT:
Following is the screenshot of the admin page

user admin belogs to the group 'Super Administrator'
Thank you
It's very strange that this should happen unless your client has been fiddling with the core Joomla files or database tables.
Update the site to the latest version of the 1.5 series (1.5.26)
Download the full Joomla package, extract the administrator, components, includes, libraries, modules and plugins folder, zip them up and upload to the server, replacing the current folder. Not to worry, this will only override the core files which I assume haven't been edited.
Try downloading and installing another admin template.
Else the only other thing I can think of is reconstructing the website which might take a while, depending on the amount of work that went into it.
In Joomla! 1.5.x a common security step was to create an alternate "super user" and downgrade the default admin account to a standard registered. Due to issues in early versions of 1.5 though it wasn't recommended to delete or disable this account.
This sounds like what is going on with your admin account.
You can check this by looking at the database checking the table jos_users look for the username admin and see what it's usertype is set to. At the same time look for a user that has an usertype of Super Administrator (yes, really the words Super Administrator).
Once you have the username of the Super Administrator, you will need to find the password. If the client doesn't know it then you will have to recover the admin password.
For some reason, when I log into my joomla 1.6 backend, it is now empty, displaying only a logout button. Any Ideas?
I just went through the same problem but on J!1.7.3. There may be many, many reasons but please check using just URL if you can see for example:
[YourDomainHere]/administrator/index.php?option=com_content or
[YourDomainHere]/administrator/index.php?option=com_modules
If content is listing and you're missing just Admin-menu and sub-navigation in back-end --> this means you messed-up with access levels and viewing access.
If you can't see content listing - ignore the rest of this post :-)
...with access levels and viewing access. To check that, try entering [YourDomainHere]/administrator/index.php?option=com_users&view=levels and enter each position in the list. Joomla backend navigation module usually has Access set to Special, so focus on this one. When enter Special - manager, author and super administrator should be ticked. If everything empty in any from the list - this is your issue :)
You need to add manager, author and super administrator to your Special access level. Obviously you can't see Save button, so you need to use database. [wrrr :) sounds scary?] Not a big deal, just go there using for example phpMyAdmin and find _viewlevels table. In there just edit Special and add [6,2,8] values to set up manager, author, super.....
Update database. Try to log-in one more time (close browser and clean cache before).
I hope if this wasn't helpful for you, will be for somebody else.
p.s. There may be a way of 'saving' changes in you joomla access levels with URL. Then you don't need to go to DB .. but I don't know if this is feasible at all :)
Check the rewrite of htaccess and the $mosConfig_absolute_path variable in config.php
Apparently, the Bluestork Template (admin template) has some security issues. In my case there were some missing files in the template folder /administrator/templates/bluestork/ that caused the administrator screen to appear blank. I've copied a clean version of the template in the bluestork folder and after that I was able to see the backend admin area.
I've removed the bluestork templates entirely for now, which seems to be the best option. Joomla installs 2.5.8, 2.5.6, 2.5.2, 1.7.0, 1.6.3 are affected. The Blustork Template is a target for hacks with old Joomla.
this happening becoz of admin user lost his permissions. see below article to fix this issue

I want to change administrator path of mysite in joomla. ex. currently i have admin path http://myserver/mysite/administrator but now i want to change it
http://myserver/mysite/admin .
Check out the constants in /includes/defines.php and /administrator/includes/defines.php
Unfortunately Joomla doesn't have a clean way of changing this without changing core files and even then this will cause problems while applying update patches in the future.
What you should consider is installing jSecure, an an extension which will prevent people from hitting mysite.com/administrator page directly. You can access your admin panel by going to mysite.com/administrator?MySecretKey (set your own secret key) but people who try to access it directly will be redirected to the front page.
I hope this helps.
