Several issues identified in the Groups Create/Edit

Sorry for the typo, it was on 21st Jun.

OK. then I guess it is done.

Hi Maverick,

I tested the patch code you mentioned in previous reply. Here is a update on the status of the issues after applying the patch code.

Issue 1 - I clicked on save but the screen did not change. I did not see any message if group was created. I was not taken back to group display page. The page just stayed as is. 
UPDATE>>>> Now when I click save, I am taken back to main screen of groups display

Issue 2 - Because nothing changed on screen, I clicked on save several times. Finally I just navigated to main status screen and then came back to groups. Now I saw that the group had been created as many times as I had clicked on save. And there is no option to delete the extra groups created. (I deleted them in the mysql table).

UPDATE>>>> So this is not an issue anymore

Issue 3 - After deleting the extra groups from mysql table - I went to this group and click on "Edit group" . Made some changes and saved. Now when I saw the group display list - again one additional group was created. Instead of saving same record, it created new record (additional group with same details).

UPDATE>>>> If I edit any group - the same issue remains. The screen does not change and in turn it creates as manny entries in the groups table as many time you click on save in the edit screen.

Issue 4 - The Private Group buttons below - both are same color and cannot make out when it is switched on or off. (Could this be CSS of my template? If yes, please help with customer override of this CSS)

UPDATE>>>> I did not find any configuration setting input box styling. Hence I still cannot make out whether the group is marked as private or not. Please help.

3. That's strange, I cannot reproduce this issue. Moreover, there is a backend check added for duplicate group name. I guess you are still using old version. Can you let me know the version number that you see in the backend?

4. Follow this as a temporary workaround, I will fix it with an alternative in next release.

edit components/com_sociable/layouts/bootstrap2/groups/group_form.php and find below code at line 33

<fieldset id="jform_profile_show_points" class="btn-group btn-group-yesno radio">

change it to

<fieldset id="jform_profile_show_points" class="">

OK - never mind what I posted earlier. I am editing this comment.

Is it that Sociable does not show up in the Joomla update? I had to manually update from v1.0.7 to v1.10

After the update, clearing server cache and browser cache, the add and edit fro group seems to be working well.

If there is any issue - I will report it at that time.

I will try thr workaround for the private button. If anything is required, I will revert to you.

There is one issue in the groups.

Let us say - I go the the deisplay of Group1. I click on edit. I amy or may not make some changes and save.

After this, If I go to create a new group or if I go to the edit for another group - Group2, then the description field shows the description teext of Group1.

The workaround for the radio button worked.

I could not reproduce this issue. Can you try it on demo site if you can reproduce the steps?

Yes. I was able to reproduce this on the demo site as well. Sharing with you google drive link for vide of screenrecording.

Thanks for producing the steps to reproduce this issue. 

What I found is this issue is happening when using JCE editor. I do not know if there is some setting that saves the data in JCE editor. I will check how to fix this.
