error in saving css file in joomla backend

[csommer]

Haven't found any posts on this, but I'm having a minor problem in saving changes to the css file using the user-interface in the backend. It doesn't save changes to the file, I have to edit the file in the folders directly to make changes. Every time I save any settings in the backend, even if no changes were attempted in the css I get the following message in my cPanel error log:

[error] PHP Warning: fileperms() [<a href='function.fileperms'>function.fileperms</a>]: stat failed for /home/myUserName/public_html/pathToJoomlaRoot/css/xmap.css in /home/myUserName/public_html/pathToJoomlaRoot/administrator/components/com_xmap/classes/XmapAdmin.php on line 98

I tried changing the chmod settings of the css file to 777, just to check, but it didnt help. I see also that the file has not been assigned an owner, I know that this is sometimes an issue.

Things seem to work fine, as I can work around this, just would be nice to get to the bottom of this minor issue.

I'm using Xmap 1.1 on Joomla 1.0.15.

Hi, thanks for reporting that! I have found the problem, in the file /administrator/components/com_xmap/classes/XmapAdmin.php replace:

Code: Select all


$file = $mosConfig_absolute_path .'/css/xmap.css';


by this

Code: Select all


$file = $mosConfig_absolute_path .'/components/com_xmap/css/xmap.css';

This has solved the problem: no more error messages and am able to edit the css file in the Joomla backend.

I hadn't picked up on the discrepancy between the path in the error message and the actual path to the css file: seems pretty obvious now.

Thank you for the support and a great component!

I don't even see the first line of code in this file.
