Joomla-cms: media modal is not showing in formfield repeatable

[nielsnuebel]

Steps to reproduce the issue

You need a form.xml with type repeatable. In it a type media.

EXAMPLE:

<field name="gallery_news"
    type="repeatable"
    icon="list"
    description="KICKCCK_FIELD_NEWS_GALLERY_LABEL"
    label="KICKCCK_FIELD_NEWS_GALLERY_DESC"
    default=""
    maximum="9"
    >
                <fields name="params">
                    <fieldset hidden="true" name="list_news_gallery" repeat="true">
                        <field  name="gallery_image"
                                type="media"
                                directory="newsimage"
                                label="KICKCCK_FIELD_NEWS_GALLERYIMAGE_LABEL"
                                description="KICKCCK_FIELD_NEWS_GALLERYIMAGE_DESC"
                                preview="true"
                        />
                        <field name="gallery_alt" type="text"
                               size="40" label="KICKCCK_FIELD_NEWS_GALLERY_ALT_LABEL"
                               description="KICKCCK_FIELD_NEWS_GALLERY_ALT_DESC"
                        />
                        <field  name="gallery_lightbox"
                                type="radio"
                                default="1"
                                label="KICKCCK_FIELD_NEWS_GALLERY_LIGHTBOX_LABEL"
                                description="KICKCCK_FIELD_NEWS_GALLERY_LIGHTBOX_DESC"
                        >
                            <option value="0">JNO</option>
                            <option value="1">JYES</option>
                        </field>
                    </fieldset>
                </fields>
            </field>

If you click on Select Image Button it dosen't open the Modal Window with the com_media component.

I know the type repeatable ist deprecated. The PROBLEM is the ISIS Backend Template.

Rename these file and it works.

Maybe these file need an update

Expected result

Actual result

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 3.7

Additional comments

[C-Lodder]

Problem being is BS2 doesn't support multiple modals being open at once. I believe this was one of the reasons why subform fields were created.

[nielsnuebel]

The problem is that JQuery live problem with the DOM.

I add these CODE to repeatabel.js

// fix media field in ISIS Template
            $row.find('.field-media-wrapper').each(function(){
                var $el = $(this);
                $el.fieldMedia();
            });

I can confirm this issue. It's rather frustrating that things were working perfectly fine in Joomla 3.6.5 and then once update to 3.7.x the "Select" button does not work anymore.

System Information

Joomla 3.7.2
PHP 7.0.8

Again, this media field inside a repeatable field worked just fine in Joomla 3.6.5.

[rpasing]

Can confirm this for latest Joomla! 3.7.2, with 3.6 it worked. Above hack by @nielsnuebel (inserting code into repeatable.js) fixed the problem. Shouldn't we create a PR for this?

[infograf768]

Please do create the PR.

[ginphreak]

Hi, at wicth line into repeatable.js i had to add nielsnuebel's code? beacuse i add it at the end (before "})(jQuery);") and it not works. Can you help me please? (Sorry for my poor english)

[f-liva]

The solution proposed by @jinbullsushil solves the problem perfectly.

Why has the bug not yet been solved officially since the solution was proposed in August?

      <!-- Fieldset: Dock -->
      <fieldset name="dock" label="Dock">

        <field name="dock_links" type="repeatable" icon="link" label="Links">
          <fieldset hidden="true" repeat="true" addfieldpath="/administrator/components/com_content/models/fields">
            <field name="name" type="text" label="Name" description="Social Name" filter="text"/>
            <field 
              name="article"
              type="modal_article"
