I ran into a strange bug today while implementing sIRF into Joomla!. Everything seems great until I log into the frontend. Then the titles show this:

Contact Us <!– function olMouseMove(e) { var e = e ? e : event; if (e.pageX) { o3_x = e.pageX; o3_y = e.pageY; } else if (e.clientX) { o3_x = eval(”e.clientX+o3_frame.” + docRoot + “.scrollLeft”); o3_y = eval(”e.clientY+o3_frame.” + docRoot + “.scrollTop”); } if (o3_allowmove == 1) {runHook(”placeLayer”,FREPLACE);if(olHideForm)hideSelectBox(); } if (hoveringSwitch && !olNs4 && runHook(”cursorOff”, FREPLACE)) { olHideDelay ? hideDelay(olHideDelay) : cClick(); hoveringSwitch = !hoveringSwitch; } } //–>

After many hours of frustration we finally came up with a fix!

The error comes from a conflict between sIFR and OverLIB, so we just disabled OverLIB. To do this you have to open the base index.php file in the root directory. Go to line 214 and change FALSE to TRUE.


// set for overlib check
$mainframe->set( 'loadOverlib', true );


Your site will now display sIRF correctly when logged in.
