Advanced Module Manager plugin causes problems

Theo Prinssen's Avatar Theo Prinssen
Hi Peter,

I have some RSJoomla components on my website and suddenly some of there modules were'nt working anymore.
So I contacted their support ans they found out the following (Their reply on my support question)
After unpublish this plugin, RSJoomla was working as it should

It appears that what you're encountering is related to the following plugin:

System - Regular Labs - Advanced Module Manager

You will notice that if you'll disable this plugin, then head back to Site Modules > RSMediaGallery! Showcase, the tags will be available for selection.

Kindly note that the RSShowcase! code was designed to work with both Joomla! 3 and Joomla! 4 frameworks. It appears that Regular Labs use a different approach on fields rendering than Joomla!. This prevents our tags field to work properly. Being an issue that persists only when using a third party plugin which appears to be incompatible with our products, unfortunately this isn't something that I can provide an input for (or something that needs to be fixed on our side). You should address this their developers instead.

Not sure what they mean with that.

Is it Advanced Module Manager or is it RSMediaGallery... as Advanced Module Manager works fine with other modules... so 🤷🏻‍♂️

What do you mean with "not working anymore". Do modules not show or work in the frontend? Or do certain settings not work in the administrator?
Is this on Joomla 3 ort 4?

Hi Peter,

RSMediaGalery works with tags.
Every image you upload need a tag.
In this way you can make albums, sliders, showcases etc.
To display a showcase in a module position or article, you need the showcase module.
In the settings of this module you can set one or more tags.
In my case the tags are not displayed in this setting.
After de-publish the system plugin advancede module manager it works again.
Never had this problem before in combination with regular labs.

I think they want to say, it is Regular labs causes the problem hahahaha

Can you give me (super) admin and (s)ftp access so I can take a look?
And tell me in which module I can see/reproduce the issue.

This does not look like the correct webspace.

In what folder should I be able to find the Joomla setup?

This looks like it is down to the RS modules still using the 'old' addfieldpath attribute instead of using namespace fields via addfieldprefix.

Advanced Module Manager adds extra fields to the module, like the category, color, etc. And does this through namespaced field files.
It seems these 2 methods don't work nicely together in Joomla.

It really is down to a 'bug' in Joomla that applies the addfieldpath and addfieldprefix stuff globally to all fields generated on the page. Not just the specific form the attribute is on.

I have not found a way to get around this.

Long story short: The way the RS module and Advanced Module Manager work, currently means they do not play nice together.
