    • Javascript warnings and site logo not showing

    Posted by maidend posts: 4

    I have only just started to use Tiki and have installed release 6.3 on IIS7. When starting easy setup using Profiles – Get Started using Profiles, Next Screen comes up with the Friendly Warning about Javascript must be turned ON in order to apply Profiles. Please enable your javascript and try again.

    I have gone to Editing and Plugins and have enables Javascript with no change in the fault. Does this warning relate to Java running on my desktop, the hosting server or another plugin that needs to be enabled within the Wiki itself?

    Additional to this, the site logo does not display. Not the original Tiki logo or if I change it.

    If anybody has had this issue and can help with the resolution, would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Dave

    I believe the Javascript warning refers to your browser. Confirm that you JS enabled for your browser session.

    As for the logo, I'm not sure. How did you install Tiki? Did you confirm that all files (including the logo image) were transferred to your web host?

    Hi Rick,

    Thanks for the prompt reply, greatly appreciated.

    I have checked the IE settings and also connected via Firefox and have the same issue with the Javascript. Both browsers have java enabled. Also connected from other desktops to confirm the java issue with the same results.

    As far as the Tiki Install went, there was nothing left out of the install. I have pointed the logo to another image file in both PNG and JPG format but the image is still coming up with the image box outline and red cross as if it couldn't find the content.

    First, Java and JavaScript are different and can be considered unrelated. The JavaScript warning is indeed about JavaScript in your browser, which can be disabled, but most likely your browser has JavaScript enabled and Tiki had a problem. The JAVASCRIPT plugin is unrelated to the warning.

    IIS often has problems, it is not as well supported as Apache. I suggest you compare your results with Apache. Apply the Debug Mode Enabled profile, check for PHP error messages at the bottom. You can also use the Firebug extension for Firefox and its Network tab for problems, such as 403 errors. That could explain the logo issue.

    Thanks again for the posts, I have tried running the website from both IE and FireFox with Javascipt enabled on both browsers and have tested from other units. Same result eash time.

    I have attached the warning from screen.

    Still unable to load the logo in the top left corner. Is there restrictions on the file type and size for the logo.

    I have seen that the system is supported on IIS and am running IIS 7 on the server. I can test on Apache. But still looking at getting it hosted off an IIS server for preference.

    Thanks Dave

    Got the same problem with the JavaScript warning,after several installations I requested support from my hosting.
    They tried a manual installation themselves, with no result.
    Changing browser, computer does not help either.
    Surprisingly after a fresh installation I was able to see the tabs and the profile options for few seconds (in Chrome), next step I saw the warning again.
    Curious matter indeed...

    I think I may have the answer to both of these. In my case, it was the .htaccess file doing the funny business. You need to get it properly configured in order for the images to work and for profiles to work properly too.

    I had the image problem just after install and, through my experience with Drupal, I remember this problem had something to do with htaccess. I copied the file from my Drupal directory to the Tiki directory and voila! The images loaded.

    I then had problems with loading the profiles, so I renamed the .htaccess file in the lib directory to _htaccess (and thus disabling it) and that was it, it all worked fine (so far).

    I hope this helps!

    PS: Just in case you are wondering, I'm attaching the htaccess file.

    I'm having this same issue using tiki 7.1 and still have not been able to resolve the issue thus far trying these suggestions. Am I just missing something obvious with the configuration?

    Thanks again guys,
    I am glad to not being the only person with this problem.

    I have tried the recommendations from VCRkid but still getting the same Non Logo an d Java Script issues.

    I have also now tried 6.3 and 7 with the same results.

    Any further ideas would be appreciated.

    I would much prefer to get Tiki working than having to use a different product.

    Regards Dave

    Most probably the issue is server side.
    I tried fresh installation with another hosting, everything worked fine, I was able to use tab, profiles etc, no javascript warnings anymore.

    Not many Tiki developers work with Microsoft servers so bug-fixing doesn't happen as fast as with Apache.

    I have found a way to work around this. What I did was setup a clean Windows 2008 Server and installed IIS 7 (with all options) and installed tiki using the Web Platform Installer. The downside to this was that it only installs version 6.2 but I did not have any javascript errors anymore and images are loading fine.

    I did notice while installing via the platform installer that there were a few IIS patches deployed that I do not recall seeing mentioned in the documentation and (lack of) these may be what is causing issues in a manual installation.
