Can't change settings (JQuery compatibility issue)

Does nothing happen when you click on one of the "FRONT PAGE FOR [role] (skip)" link?

Oh... Ok, they should be links.
Do you have some back-office related modules that could alter this behaviour?

Ouch... a big list, but I can't see at the top of my head what's causing this... Could I take a look at your instance directly (to examine the HTML mock-up / CSS & JS on it)?

same issue here :) still inspecting it but seems I don't have expandable fieldsets at all :)

same issue here

What admin theme are you using? It's working fine for me with seven as the admin-theme.

Same issue, I've switched to both Ember and Seven and it fails. The module has just been installed, so there is no prior information to populate.

There is (in Chrome) a javaScript issue:

Uncaught TypeError: Object 0 has no method 'charAt' line 294

while (true) {
// Iteratively remove exclamation marks and invert the value.
while (this.name.charAt(0) == '!') {
Uncaught TypeError: Object 0 has no method 'charAt'
this.name = this.name.substring(1);
this.invert = !this.invert;

states.js is in /profiles/spark/modules/contrib/jquery_update/replace/misc/1.7/states.js?v=7.22.

When I switched from the Spark to default profile I found these were now functional. So it might be a need for some defensive Javascript or a non-JS dependent admin.

It seems it comes from jQuery Update... What I don't understand is there is no JS in front.module, it only uses core-compatible markup (fieldset and the #states API).
Wouldn't it be a duplicate of #1815896: jQuery 1.7 and 1.8 breaks conditional #states forms or #1448490: Remove the states.js overwrite as it was fixed upstream?

Yea that sounds like it has to be. The simple test would be to remove jQuery update then test. Like you said, there is no custom JS here; just the FAPI.

Not using jQuery update and still have the issue. What's strange is I have the issue for an administrator on the host site, but not for user 1 on my local machine (both have the same role).

Edit: seems to be related to having caching or JS compression enabled.

I had exactly the same issue after upgrading jquery to 1.7. When i moved back to jquery 1.5 (with jquery update module) the problem is gone and the frontpage settings may be used again.

I had this same issue. To bypass, I changed front_page.admin.inc in the following manner:

 $form['roles'][$rid] = array(
      '#type' => 'fieldset',
      '#collapsible' => TRUE,
      '#collapsed' => TRUE,

To this:

 $form['roles'][$rid] = array(
      '#type' => 'fieldset',
      '#collapsible' => TRUE,
      '#collapsed' => FALSE,

Just changed collapsed to false. Keep in mind that all of the forms for every role will be open so you will have to scroll down, but it does let you make changes to the form and works properly.

I had the same issue, but i disable the jquery update module and the front page module works again!

Let's let the issue open until we find a fix for jQuery Update compatibility.

Same here. Using Bartik as admin theme.

Closed #2110883: accordion disabled with jQuery Update 1.7+ as a duplicate of this one.

Just reporting another case of the same problem, without JQUERY update ever having been installed, without caching or JS/CSS compression on, none of the settings for each role are clickable or expandable links.

The above post changing the default state of COLLAPSED to FALSE from TRUE does work to display the accordians open, so one can at least use this module.

Good luck and thanks to those that took the time to develop this module.

$form['roles'][$rid] = array(
'#type' => 'fieldset',
'#collapsible' => TRUE,
'#collapsed' => TRUE,

...

'#collapsed' => FALSE,

I also have this exact problem with jQuery Update installed. There's a JS error on the page preventing the collapsed fieldsets from being expanded.

Below you can find the Javascript error information I'm getting. It appears that the newer version of jQuery no longer has the charAt() function, or something like that.

TypeError: this.name.charAt is not a function in line 294 of states.js?v=7.24:
while (this.name.charAt(0) == '!') {

I think this is related to these two threads in the the jQuery Update issue queue:

• https://drupal.org/node/1967270
• https://drupal.org/node/1448490

Had this same error. Fixed by installing the dev version of jquery update module

Same problem, Panopoly install profile, Kalatheme.

I'll hack the code to disable the fieldset collapse.

This issue is fixed by updating to jquery_update (7.x-2.4).

That said, this issue can most likely be closed.

Yes updating jquery_update to 7.x-2.4 fixed the issue for me!!

This introduces a dependency on a particular JQuery version, which has some consequences:

a) There are several other problems with that particular new JQuery_update version (2.4), which makes many sites stay on 2.3 for yet some time, as that upgrade breaks too many other things.

Is there a possibility now to identify which part of the update actually fixes this problem, so that those of us that want to stay on 2.3 can try to patch that version? Or (better), add some workaround/compatibility code to this module so that it does not get a dependency on that particular JQuery version?

b) In case of a dependency; that needs to be stated in both the README.txt and on the project page, that it only works with JQuery_update 2.4.

The latter is IMHO far from ideal. There are very many sites in different states that have other (good) reasons why they still choose to not move to the latest JQuery_update version right away.

For me, this module caused the problem. Disabling it solved the issue
