All is in the subject

I upgraded one of my 1.7 sites to 2.5 yesterday and my Cook component appears to be working OK

Yes, All is fine.

I will upgrade the sandbox soon.
(Lot of work because of the hacks inside)

I found some problems of compatibilites.


Grid checkboxes are raising JS error.
Grid column alignment too.

I'm currently working for this migration.

Stay in touch.

Hi Jocelyn,

Grid sorting is also not working. Cannot sort columns any longer. But I think this is a Joomla 2.5 problem as it also does not work in standard Joomla tables.

I meant grid sorting, not 'alignement', sorry for mistake.


For question about default order, please open a new topic.

Now working on Joomla 2.5.


[EDIT] : For compatibility of your previous projects (if you writed inside, and don't want to regenerate) :

TODO :

All your generated forms must be identified with id="adminForm"

I realize how boring it can be to change this on all your forms, but you should do it if you don't want to regenerate...
-> Use the search and replace functionality of your code editor.

Thank you, I will check my forms, otherwise regenerate.

Now, the column sorting works somehow, but not the correct way. First I must say that there is a bug in Joomla 2.5 as in the frontend column sorting does not work!.

The Joomla 2.5 samples do not sort at all (example articles categories list). If you click on the column headers, they get properly sorted in Joomla 1.5, but nothing happens in Joomla 2.5. In Joomla 1.5 you need exactly one click to reverse the sort order. Joomla 1.5 used a javascript to sort columns, Joomla 2.5 uses "Joomla.Table.Ordering" function onclick.

Now, in the Cook components there is always one empty click between two succesful clicks, so it may happen that you need 3 clicks on the column header to reverse the sort order instead of one. That cannot be correct. This happens also only in the frontend. In the backend it works correctly.

I must say that testing in the sandbox seems to be correct. I tested by downloading and installing the components unaltered on Joomla 2.5.1.
