J-BusinessDirectory - Cannot save config

Hello,

So i installed the site, but i cannot configure the jbusinessdir. All other parts of site work ok.

When i edit the configuration i save, it goes blank. nothing is save.

Joomla hearders and footers are there but nothing in between. i hit refresh, still nothing.

if i re select the component the config is not save

The problem can be caused by K2 or Jomsocial.

It seems that both K2 and Jomsocial use some deprecated methods of retrieving http params. This cause the component to fail in some cases due to some error generated by plugins.

For Jomsocial please apply the following fix.

JRequest:get() is deprecated and replaced by input->get();
 
In order to get this working you have to modify the following file:
{joomla}/plugins/system/jomsocialupdate/jomsocialupdate.php
 
On line 57:
$task = JRequest::getCmd( 'task' , '' );

replace with
 
$input=JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$task = $input->get('task','');

For k2 please require the new plugin file.
