After editing a page with this, I click either save or cancel, and it
successfully changes it, but then loads the page within the lightbox
(which I can't close).

This happens in the default milkyway, beez templates, as well as the
modified rtAfterburner template I am actually using for my site.

Any ideas? Thanks,
Stu

Also, I notice that index.php.backup (and the other backups) didn't
get made. Why would that be? I have full ftp access working for
everything else.

Ah, in fact it hadn't written to any of the three files it's meant to
change when you click Apply Changes. I had to give additional write
permissions (and created the additional backups myself just in case).
Backups still weren't created tho, presumably because it doesn't have
write permission within the directory. I feel that if it fails to
create backups it should not apply the changes, or at least warn you
and ask for an additional click (telling you to make backups
yourself).

However, it is all working now, so I'm happy! :)

Thanks for a great extension. Looking forward to the jquery version...

:) Looks like you found the issue and were able to solve it on your
own!

I'm not sure that I'll be bringing out the jQuery version. There is a
good chance that joomla 1.5 will start using mootools 1.2. And I want
to be spending my time rather building a version for joomla 1.6.

And anyways, you can always update your joomla1.5 installation to use
mootools 1.2 instead of using mootools.

I'm having the same problem. I was wondering EXACTLY how you solved
this so I can do so as well.
