I am a regular user of the Kunena-based forum at lwks.com. Kunena is a Joomla extension. I have been using this forum using Firefox for the past two years without problem. After updating to FF18.0 yesterday, I now find that I cannot insert images or other files into forum posts. When I click on the Add File button and select a file (e.g. jpg) the path to the file on my desktop no longer appears in the Add file box and the Insert button is missing so I am unable to insert the file as an attachment to the forum post.

Chosen solution

Try changing the following 2 files:

in /components/com_kunena/template/default/js/editor.js

var input = __file.getElement('input.kfile-input')

to

var input = __file.getElement('input.kfile-input.hidden')


in /components/com_kunena/template/default/js/editor-min.js

var a=c.getElement("input.kfile-input").set

to

var a=c.getElement("input.kfile-input.hidden").set

Thats true cvvmax but Woodzu's fix worked, whether it was a firefox problem or kunena problem i would not know but Woodzu who's knowledge is better than mine states the fault is with kunena, either way changing the component in kunena solved the problem.

By the way the editor i used with created all the//////////// was Ace ftp a joomla add on file manager in the back end to save going through cPanel, while i have had no problems with moving files etc, the editor clearly has problems.

derekhendry, The owner and administrator of the site that had the problem has been fixed...

Don't know if he did the Woodzu fix or something else, but now even the latest v21.0 works for Adding Pictures to the website's threads...

Thanks again...
