Error when using system editor

Asked by Matt Hunt 1 year ago Last activity 9 months ago

Good morning,
Suddenly I am getting the error "Call to undefined method Joomla\CMS\Object\CMSObject::getButtonName()" when trying to go to the system editor in page builder. I've got JCE Editor as the system editor. I've updated all extensions with no change. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Please try TinyMCE editor and check the issue.

That did work and I can leave it as that on this site, but I've got several other sites also using JCE with no issues.... yet. Hoping it is just a one off

If you want me to check the JCE issue, then please share your administrator access here. Use the Hidden Content box to share the credentials. Make sure that you have a full site backup before sharing.

I've a second site now throwing the same error. I've included the credentials for the second site in the Hidden Content area.
Thanks,

I can't check the admin URL. It is redirecting to home page. Please check this.

I've updated all extensions ...

But you forgot about JCE editor. Now you have JCE Pro v2.9.63 - that is NOT current one(!) it's from last year, April 2024.

Please update to 2.9.88

In the original domain that was showing the error I had updated the JCE to the current version, but it had no effect. Also updated on this site now and it also has no affect. Still showing that error.
JCE is working fine in Articles.

I tested SPPB editor and works OK, I can edit pages and use Text addon, here is evidence. I used the back-end editor.

and front-end editor (test page)

and yes, I was able to edit the same page ID 2 as you presented. Just like that.

Hi, I don't beleive you were using the JCE Editor which is the one that is needed. Temporarily I had made TinyMCE as the default so that I could make some changes. Please examine again. I've changed the default editor back to JCE
