Joomla 2.5 shows add/edit form for article/category incompletely - joomla

When I click on add new article, Joomla shows the page incompletely.
It doesn't even show the form itself completely.
Even now that I have enabled the debug mode, it doesn't show anything. I think that something die()s the process of outputting the page to the browser.
Please note that I haven't had a bad joomla installation. It was working very well a bit little ago.
I haven't also changed a deep core setting. I think that I have only changed jcomment setting that doesn't look related to the problem.

Add this code in this file root/administrator/components/com_content/content.php
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
If no error comes check for die or exit statement with any of the editor which has search functionality.If this also does not work rename the com_content of administrator and upload the fresh one.
let me know if it does not work.

Disable that plugin.
Did you just add it or update?
If the file is there check the ownership.

joomla 1.5 adminsitrator: article section editing doesn't load

The client have moved Joomla from old to new server. I am aware of what they did exactly. As a result joomla webpage is working (it seems so) and administrator panel loads correctly. You can edit menu items etc. there.
However, when you try to edit article it doesn't work.
When I click on article, the page start to load (...administrator/index.php?option=com_content&sectionid=-1&task=edit&cid[]=56), but the only thing that is loaded is empty page with one form element with input fields "Title", "Alias", "Section". That is it. So this means that page stoped loading.
I am not so big expert in Joomla and debugging, but can you suggest me how to fix this issue? How to find out why articles stoped working? I understand that you can me give the exact sollution, but can you mention some steps to investigate.
EDIT:
After some investigation I have set
ini_set('display_errors',1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);
in admin.content.html.php and this showed me an error.
You can check version of php. Joomla 1.5 is pretty old so somewhere it can contain call-time pass-by-reference which was removed in 5.4+, so using it raise a fatal error. Enable error_reporting also error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 'stdout') or stderr

Joomla 2.5.17 Why cannot I see article editor?

I have upgraded my Joomla site from 2.5.7 to 2.5.17. Then I installed Attachments package.
When I click article manager or category manager in order to edit an article or category, I see a page with no textarea, no buttons, no menus.
All the page content is this.
I have tried to install new text editors: nothing changes.
I have tried to select "No editor" for text editing: nothing changes.
Try these different steps to solve your issue:
1) First, check to see if the editor plugin is enabled:
Tools -> Plugin Manager. Locate your Editor and ensure it's enabled.
Also check Global Config and make sure default editor is set.
You could also try disabling the package you installed and see if it works afterwards. If not try to disable all the editors only leaving the default of Joomla and check again.
2) Change back to one of Joomla's installed templates and see if the problem remains.
If not, then it is a problem with your new template. There is a possibility of javascript problems.
Sometimes enabling the system plugin 'System - Mootools Upgrade' will help.
Otherwise check with your template provider for possible help.
3) Also turn php error reporting on as it may be this problem:

4) Lastly, I like to replace Joomla!'s editor with the JCE editor which has solved many issues like these before.

You get a page like that when you have a fatal error. You can try disabling the attachments plugin and see if it solves the issue. If not, turn error reporting to maximum or development and see what messages you get.
I disabled PLG_EDITORS-XTD_TOOLTIPS plugin and it my problem solved.

Magento admin CMS pages content in wrong tab

I've got a Magento site however when I login into the admin area to create a new CMS page the content box is appearing in the Page Information tab and not the Content tab. This is causing the validation to fail when I add the content.
Any help would be much appreciated
Try disabling any third party extensions/customizations you may of installed.
It could also be caused by corrupted database entries.
Try reinstalling Magento to a new database and seeing if the issue persists.
If it's fixed, then it's a problem with your data. If it isn't, then it must be a extension or customization causing the bug.
Go to System>Configuration>Advanced and you will see a brand of extension you recently installed. Set it to disabled and hit Save Config. Flush Cache, log out and log back in to admin and it should be corrected. If it is, contact the extension creator and report the bug as it shouldnt do that.The only realy way for that to happen is for something to overrule its placement which would be a 3rd party extension.
The other possibility is that you moved some folders in adminhtml by accident. If thats the case, try uploading an original copy of adminhtml.

Magento product not saving

I have come across very different kind of problem. Suddenly in Magento products uploaded not updating anymore.
In detail, when we open products to update and click save button, nothing happens. It started happening suddenly, everything was working fine before.
Please help, its a big problem. I dont know what to do and which files to check.
May be you missed some mandatory field to fill. Check every tab if you have any error asking to fill the fields.
Or, there will be some javascript errors. Check if any JS errors are there, and post it here.
I found where it was gone wrong.
in js/prototype/validation.js
This file used by admin product option validation, which I have changed and didn't realize to check for admin validations.
Small change like this solved the problem.
if(!admin){
// put your code for front-end validation
}
Thanks to all.
I came here after having the same problem. "Save" suddenly stopped working on the product page. The only thing I had done was update prototype.js from 1.7 to 1.7.1 to support fade() in IE10 b/c I have a custom fade on thumbnails.
Well prototype.js 1.7.1 responds with TypeError: value.gsub is not a function when you click save.
Had to revert back because I dont know how to fix it.
if magento is configured to work with elasticsearch and elasticsearch is unreachable it also results in this error

Joomla! 1.5 Category Blog Layout parameters update in database but not when displayed

I apologize if this is an easy question and I was just googling the wrong keywords. It's been a few years since I've used Joomla! but got handed a site to make some changes to, that someone else originally developed and can't seem to figure out what's going on. I'm running Joomla! v1.5.26.
I'm trying to add a blog section to the site, so I created a blog section and category and then I created a new "Category Blog Layout" in my menu and set the Columns value to 3:
However, whenever I view the page, it keeps showing 2 columns. So I went to phpMyAdmin and found the menu in jos_menu and confirmed that the database did in fact get updated:
So next I opened up /components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/blog.php and added this to to the top of the PHP file to see what values were being loaded:
<?php
print '<pre>';
print_r($this->params);
print '</pre>';
?>
Which produced the following results on the front end:
...
[num_leading_articles] => 1
[num_intro_articles] => 4
[num_columns] => 2
[num_links] => 4
...
So for some reason, even though I've set the values to update, and they do in fact update in the database, they are not updating on the front end. I've tried clearing the cache and all that fun stuff, without much luck. If it was just "num_columns" having an issue I could probably just override that functionality. However, it appears to be doing the same thing with all of the parameters, not just number of columns. I'm just using that as an example.
I haven't ruled out the possibility that it's a conflict with some third-party plugin yet, but am trying to see if maybe I'm missing something obvious and someone can point me in the right direction.
--UPDATE: 12/4/12--
So it appears to be a conflict with the sh404sef plugin. I'm not exactly sure what the deal is quite yet, but when I disable the plugin it works fine, but it happens again once I re-enable it. Now to see if I can figure out what's wrong with the plugin.
In Joomla! 1.5 while the parameters are being saved the implementation is effected/affected(?) by the template in use at the time.
Check your templates index.php, or if present the override for com_content's Blog layout (usually found in yourSite/templates/yourtempalte/html/com_content/category/blog.php
You will probably find the override either doesn't handle the columns or has a bug in it.
Okay so I figured out my own problem. As I stated above, I discovered the problem was with the sh404sef plugin. Apparently anytime you make changes to the menu layout settings, you have to purge your entire SEF URL list and then rebuild it. It seems quite strange that we'd have to do that every time, but I guess that was intentional for some reason. Anyway, it's working now. I just wanted to make sure I posted a solution for anybody else who may stumble across this.
