Control Panel broken in backend - everything else is working

[ehj-52n]

Hi.
First the metadata.
Joomla: 3.3.6
jDownloads:
* Administrator: 3.2.26 Beta
* Content: 3.2.25 Beta
PHP: 5.4.36
MySQL: 5.5.40
Site type: life

The problem is that the control panel is not displayed correct. See attached screenshots. The other features of jDownloads are working (frontend and backend).

The error message is thrown from the /administrator/components/com_jdownloads/helpers/scan.php:528ff

The jdownloads directory logs like this:

The installation is migrated from Joomla 2.5.latest via jdownloads 1.9.latest > 2.5.latest > 3.x latest.

In addition, I had to manually migrate the category descriptions with the following SQL script as they were not migrated:

Code Select Expand


UPDATE
    j25_jdownloads_categories,
    j25_jdownloads_cats_backup
SET
    j25_jdownloads_categories.description = j25_jdownloads_cats_backup.cat_description
WHERE
    j25_jdownloads_categories.title = j25_jdownloads_cats_backup.cat_title
    AND
    CONCAT( j25_jdownloads_categories.cat_dir_parent, '/', j25_jdownloads_categories.cat_dir )  = j25_jdownloads_cats_backup.cat_dir


Please ignore the misleading table prefix. It will be removed within the next days. I am aware of the fact that this script is not working 100% perfect but for the categories I have descriptions for it worked. I needed this complex script because the category ids were not kept during the migration.

What can I do to get the control panel working again? Is there anything wrong with my jdownloads directory permissions? Do you need any additional information? By the way, the front end is working as aspect.

Hi Arno et al.,
I have an update on this issue. The control panel is working again, when I disable the automatic scanning of the download area. In addition, the manual scan process results in a better error message. The error message:

Code Select Expand

Error: Filename empty after cleaning:
../joomla-home/jdownloads-dir/category/sub-category/.DAV/
This results from the fact, that the jdownloads-dir is published via protected webdav, too.
Is there any way to let jdownloads ignore all folders starting with "." or which are hidden?
By the way, the folder is there and accessible.

Hi,
sorry for the late reply. I have not seen your post before. 

I'm in the moment not in my office but i will answer you more when i be back again in the next hours.

Hi,
for the mostly users works the import process from the jD version 3.2.x for Joomla 3.3 very good.

The installation is migrated from Joomla 2.5.latest via jdownloads 1.9.latest > 2.5.latest > 3.x latest.

I'm not sure that this is the recommended way. But i hope you had read the import instructions in the documentation before you did it?

When the category descriptions are not imported, must have gone something wrong here in the import process.
So it is not a good idea to import it manually with a query. All categories have after the import a different ID. This is required as we need in the new series a additional new ROOT category.

Error: Filename empty after cleaning:
../joomla-home/jdownloads-dir/category/sub-category/.DAV/

I have not an idea what you have doing to get this result. Which special characters use you for your filenames?

Is there any way to let jdownloads ignore all folders starting with "." or which are hidden?

jD ignored this always.

'.DAV' is not a hidden folder but a file type from a filename which is already cleaned (see jD config options in TAB: Folders and Files).

jDownloads:
* Administrator: 3.2.26 Beta
* Content: 3.2.25 Beta

You have different versions?  

Maybe should you repeat the import process with a fresh (local) Joomla installation to get a correct result. But make sure that you use the instructions.
