No popup windows pop up

There really isn't enough information here for me to be able to give you a helpful response. I feel like I walked into the middle of your thought and got about a third of the context necessary to figure it all out.

First, I'm not sure what you mean by 'pop-ups' - are you referring to the javascript modal forms that are used to edit panels content? 'Pop-ups' refers to something quite different. I'm not even clear if "putting in arguments, adding content to panels" refers to the 'secret' setting your talking about, or if 'i.e.' indicates that

Second, assuming you're talking about the modal forms, what demo site do they work on? Where are you getting the modals properly, and where are you not?

Yes, those are the javascript modal forms.

I see nothing abnormal about the panels in the second image you posted. Merlin used a custom image for the nodequeue demo that isn't the default - under normal panels installations, it's that 'plus' icon that triggers the 'Add Content' modal form. Is nothing happening when you click on it?

I am having a similar situation, the javascript window opens, I get the spinning circle, then the window closes. No choices appear in the window and the page goes back to the original screen.

In browsing some of the other issues, this may be related:

Fixed it in my case.

I have the same issue. The "pop-up" ajax forms don't appear when i click the + sign. I even tried didn't versions of panels and jquery. I am wondering if it is a server setting? I would love to get it working, though.

in fire bug console, i get:

Drupal is not defined
if (Drupal.ACDB) {
autocomplete.js (line 5)

The other issue, where a "pop-up" does appear, but doesn't load has been resolved in other messages.

Hi ruralrooster, You say

"The other issue, where a "pop-up" does appear, but doesn't load has been resolved in other messages."

I did not find the solution, where can I find it? You can read my question here: http://drupal.org/node/275071.

Thanks!

Geez. This was a mistake on my part, so I thought I'd post my solution in case it's useful. I had installed Secure Pages module with admin/* and Firebug immediately diagnosed the problem as an https:// request trying to reach an http:// page and was being denied.

Hi light-blue,

I do not have Secure Pages module installed, unfortunately. So this module cannot be the problem for me. Thanks for the tip though.

Are there other modules that could be the cause of the problem?

I also use firebug. Where do you see the diagnoses of the problem? Do you see it when you push the + button?

well i fixed my problem. somewhere along the line i deleted the " print $scripts " line from my page.tpl.php in my themes folder. Basically i had no js functioning.

Just sharing - I got this same problem and fixed it by disabling Nice Menu and Nice Primary Menu module. Apparently these modules use JQuery and there were noted problems with JQuery and Panels2:

I'm having this same problem. I'm using panels 2 on a Drupal 5 site....and clicking the "+" button on panes to add panels brings up a popup that disappears immediately after.

I recently moved servers. I never had any problems like this on the old server.

I don't have any of the problem modules mentioned here installed on my system.

What could be the cause?

Closing this old issue. Please re-open if you still need assistance.

sorry - opening this again as I have the same problem.

I have one site using D5 and Panels2, one using D6 and Panels3.
On the P2 case I have the problem as decribed above - with the icons to add or edit content showing but not providing the "popups" (not really popups but the "javascript modal forms").
On the P3 case I can access my Panel Pages, see the "task handlers" but when I click on "Operations->Edit->Panel Content" (from the drop down menus) nothing happens. I stay in limbo on the same page.

These both worked fine 10 days ago. I then went on vacation for a week and did not touch either site. Today neither works - I have tried resetting to default theme, tried multiple PCs, different browsers, with/without firewall etc.

My guess that my host has changed something whilst I was getting a tan..... any one have any ideas?

re setting to closed. My D6 sites mysteriously started working again, and my D5 site was fixed by my hosts (which is pretty cool as there was some update for jquery.js. file located in misc/jquery.js that needed attention - and I am on the cheapest lowest level plan with these guys - quite impressed with the customet service!!)

Thanks for the tip myersca, this is a mind-boggling problem but it turns out it was a problem with my htaccess file.
