[Solved] Category Sorting Problem 2.0.18.4 (js problem, locally)*

silentkillzr

I am on 2.0.18.4 and i have a few categories going now, but ive noticed i ran into i cannot change the order of my categories from within vanilla's admin panel. I have to manually adjust their order. I thought it might have been a plugin i installed, but i can disabled all the plugins and the problem still persists. Anyone run into this? And yes i did search a long time before i even thought of posting.

Have also tried in multiple browsers. I see the drag drop cursor, But nothing happens when you click and drag.

this might be a conflict with a theme or plugin.

I checked out the console when i try and resort categories. I get this:

23
Uncaught TypeError: Object function ( selector, context ) {
// The jQuery object is actually just the init constructor 'enhanced'
return new jQuery.fn.init( selector, context, rootjQuery );
} has no method 'curCSS'

Well i am dumb. I just replaced /js/library folder out with the default files for vanilla and it works, Could have sworn i tried that. Thanks!

Somehow my jquery is not defined anymore... Interesting lol

why are you messing with /js/library in the first place?

if you change the core that is a fork, you are your own support.

Just a thought, are you using any form of minification plugin? Minification and obfuscation are flawed concepts in javascript which should only be used is said script is tested not to be corrupted. There is no guarantee it wouldn't corrupt a random script.

not to go too off topic here, but 2.0.18 is the end of the 2.0 branch as we know it. 2.1 is different enough that most if not all production forums will have re-coding (plugins, themes, etc) to do if they want to move to 2.1... whether they "forked" with some core or not.

We are our own support. Aint nothing anybody can do to stop that.

That said... seriously, dont screw with the js/library unless you know exactly what you're doing and why.

This isn't a plug-in though, if you modify the core, if you try to update it will be lost.

What happens when people modify the core heavily is they get stranded an can't update. Had this with couple of clients.

I forget why, but i had a theme that 'required' be to update jquery, And then i accidently moved the JS folder to a different folder without noticing. My mousing is touchy is all i can blame i guess. Everything is working as it should now. And yes this is why you make plugins and such. Keep the core as it is! I made only one core change for now just to fix youtu.be style links because it was annoying. Could really care less to loose it because its fixed in 2.1
