@Ginus Let's go back to you issue. I guess we all know that versio 4 is not so stable as it is. I know (and hop Joomkshaper) is working hard to solve this. I want to be clear that I am on the right spot as you are:
@Ginus You upgrade from version 3 to version 4.
Yes.
@Ginus On what version of Joomla, PHP and helix are you working on?
Joomla 4.23
PHP 7.4 (Tried to get it to work with version 8 but won't work and asked support about this and did not get an answer to the reason why, just pointed to other threads to try and figure it out on my own.
Helix Template 2.0.11
Helix Framework 2.0.11
@Ginus Regarding to you question, @offi asked to some screenshopt about 1 and3 to ge more clear what happening. I never saw those.
I provided login information for them to see the issue firsthand of which any support person would have been able to not only experience the problem but gather information to help sort it out.
@Ginus Help me to get a clear picture of yo issue:
@Ginus Why would you want to add images via JCE? IF it is a normal Joomla Article I could beleave it, otherwise I would use The image and text block in SPPB4.
In some cases this is fine, but in other cases the need of a graphic insert in a text block requires a simple image insert with more control in what is trying to be achieved. Both are useful functions and both are required. Whether its JCE or another editor the full capacity of any editor should not be restricted or hindered. And its not just about image inserts, text formatting is not fully available, and more. Its like you take an editor and have made it stripped down.
@Ginus How do you edit the slideshow?
To help solving you issues it is nessesary that Joomshaper can reproduce the situation. This means the need to have a clear few of the steps that you are doing.
With version 3 it was simple via the backend, and honestly speaking I rarely used the frontend editor as it was always problematic and always has been since the very begining of SPPB and I've been using SPPB for years and not a noobie when it comes to Joomla or SPPB. I've built many websites with Joomla, even before it was called Joomla
@Ginus Why am I asking this? It is to help you move forward and help me to understand the way people working with SPPB4. I my buisness userfriendly is the key and that starts with the workflow of the customer. This could be the workflow of the product is unclear of the workflow the customer is using is not optimal becuse thay stay in the old habbits. So in stead of telling SPPB4 id bad, lets focus on hellping each other to soleve the problem.
Agreed, but honestly to date there has been no support or solutions provided. I stepped it back to version 3 and now got even more issues meaning work created that was not using SPPB will be lost with backup taken before install of update - that's time and money lost and impacts a great deal of my promotions to the site as links will need to be changed via the URL shortner.
I never edited any page with version 4, all I did with version 4 was try to figure out the workflow and it forced me into some funky backend selection to further go to the frontend editor which was truly frustrating and found that any page with a slide show was greyed out as with other issues of what appeared to be almost like a ghost of a previously removed section. Most of the slideshows were used from template options and then modified to my needs via the backend without any issues. On another note, it certainly is not a good upgrade as from what we can see by the multitude of posted issues and this is where I question where was the QA on this or is there even a QA. My point is this... it has frozen me to do further work and the xmas season is close, not only has this cost me time and money but it's going to risk more loss going forward without having a resolution which is totally unacceptable.
