Hi

I have a hard time to get this working:
Joomla 6.1.0 , J2Commerce v 4.1.2 (freshly installed not updated, Installation worked fine no errors)  JCE 2.9.99.2. 
As soon as i try to open an Email Template I get a failed call to the editor, any ideas what to try? 

JCE works everywhere except here in the Email Templates.
Everything else works fine.

Thanks for the report.

As a temporary workaround, switch back to TinyMCE for when you need to update the email template.

I will look at this issue.

Strange, Same Issue with Tiny MCE , even with Editor NONE. Not Urgent...

Olivier

Humm, this is strange. I tempted a fix, could you give me access to your site so I can test it?

You can edit the ticket, it does not have to be private, use the fields User/Password, they are not visible to anyone. Thanks!

Thanks for credentials.

I was able to fix the 'crash' with an elegant solution BUT I was not able to find the root of the problem and could not reproduce it on my end.

In any case, you should be able to work the emails out, even though there is an error message.

Good enough! thanks a lot. As this is my test environment will there be a fix later on for production?

Olivier

Yes, I am making the fix part of the next upcoming release (in a matter of a couple of days now). I have included it in v4.1.3.
