Unable to change settings in panel edit mode Variants » Panel » Content [#1930404]

Please see screenshot,

I have just loaded a few mods mimemail, trigger, echo, htmlmail, mailsystem .

Drupal 7.16 with 90 odd active mods inc views, uc, panels etc..

When I click on the "gear" icon to edit the block in one of the regions ...the drop down list does not show up. I thought it might be a css issue but I have changed theme (flushed caches) and changed admin theme but problem remains.

any ideas . ..?

I have upgraded to panels-dev but no luck yet? anyone run it to this .

Cheers for any help

Well, there is definitely at least one CSS issue -- those lists shouldn't have bullets. So something is breaking that. But I don't know if that'st he problem.

It is showing a lot of dropdowns; usually only one is visible at a time. That might mean something is crashing javascript. Can you check your javascript console? Maybe a module is causing js to crash? It's also possible that jquery update might be breaking things, as I have never tested this with any jquery newer than what comes with Drupal core.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply,
I have just checked the console and it is throwing nothing up, attached screenshot. This is after reverting back to Bartik 7.16 theme and flushing the cache.

so in my mind would eliminate a css issue?

I am going to disable the mods from yesterday and report back if any change.

Panels runs in your admin theme; it does look like your admin theme isn't currently set to Seven, based upon the buttons. Maybe that's part of the problem?

Unfortunately, it is the same in Seven ...
Most be a mod that is adding some CSS or Trashing Ajax somehow..

something is adding the

tag to every list item.

I'm not sure if I'm barking up the wrong tree here but I came across this thread while looking for answers to a Panels UI problem I was having.

I solved the Panels UI problem, i.e. no modal dialogues for panels content and styling were displaying, I could watch in Chrome's Developer tools that the modal frames' code was being sent to the browser but not being rendered.

Anyway through trial and error I have discovered that the Panels UI modal forms do not like JQuery 1.8!

Set JQuery Update setting for JQuery version back to 1.7 and Panels UI modal forms work as they should. I've confirmed the same configuration problem on another (live) site with basically the same drupal + modules + themes stack.

I know Panels has had issues with JQuery compatibility in the past and it may be common knowledge that Panels is not compatible with version 1.8 but you might just check that for your problem here. With 1.8 selected I was getting the drop downs but when selecting to change style or to add content etc. I would not get the modal form to continue on my way. The modal backdrop (grey opaque layer) would display and then nothing.

Anyway, check JQuery Update settings and you might find your having the same problem as I was.
