Dear JomSocial team,

we are having trouble with the Notifications module which does not show the SVG icons in Firefox when the <base> tag is set in the header. Please read the following for further information on the issue detailing what Firefox interprets differently: www.chriskrycho.com/2015/html5-location-base-and-svg.html

Could you please fix this bug in connection with Firefox and the use of <base> by including the SVG path in mod_community_notifications/tmpl/default.php at the place where the icon is displayed instead of referencing it.

Thank you and best regards

Hi Peter,

I need your backend access for testing this, because it can be caused by your Joomla template. Since this is working fine on my local code.

thank you

Hi Dimas,

I have created a short mockup for you to be viewed in Firefox:

• With <base>-Tag, but not working: jsfiddle.net/a8Lw1jhh/
• Without <base>-Tag and working: jsfiddle.net/a3dvce1s/1/
• With <base>-Tag and working: jsfiddle.net/4f0pr3m9/4/

Hi Peter,

Well, I need check your backend site directly.. because I am not sure your html markup is different or not, since on our local there is no issue on it..

Hi Dimas,

thank you for your continued support. I am not quite sure what you need to look at in our backend, since I used code from the latest JomSocial release to generate the mockup and have an external source verifying the issue.

If you add <base href="localhost/jomsocial">; to the head of your local installation's template a similar behavior should be visible in Firefox.

Best regards

Hi Peter,

I just wanna to make some test by using another Joomla template and another module position, so thats why I need your backend access.

If you wanna fix it by yourself you can modify this file modules/mod_community_notifications/tmpl/default.php, and edit the svg code like you did here jsfiddle.net/4f0pr3m9/4/

thank you!

Hi Dimas,

Thank you for the support. I know what the issue is and how to fix it for us, but I believe this is a bug that can affect others as well and was hoping for an update of the module as it is delivered by you.

Best regards

Hi Peter,

If this issue still happens on next release (version 4.3) please let us know again, because on latest code (v4.3 internal beta) we dont see this issue :)

thank you!

Hi Dimas,

Since the only change in this module between 4.2.5 and 4.3 Beta 1 is the incrementation of the version in the XML file, the bug still has not been solved.

Best regards

Hi Peter,

Please you wait version 4.2.6, we will released it very soon.. under testing now..

thank you

Hi Dimas,

Since - again (!) - nothing has changed between 4.2.5, 4.2.6 and 4.3 Beta 2, the result is still the same and the bug remains.

I have provided you the details of the bug, the background as well as a solution, please let me know when this will be looked into and implemented.

Best regards

Hi Peter,

Ehm, weird.. I need to discuss this with our javascript developer, but right now he is off until next week.. he will marry next 2 days.. :D

So, please you wait next week then.

thank you

Hi Dimas,

I do not really see how the JavaScript developer is required as there is no JavaScript involved in displaying the SVG icon... Is there someone for HTML topics - I believe that would be the better fit.

Best regards

Hi Peter,

our javascript developer is our frontend developer, which he is handle the HTML as well...

wait, i will ask another developer.

thank you!
