 I have the following shortcode that is visible on backend but not frontend. The plugin does not make it available in the frontend even with no editor selected.

 {mcnotifications layout="default" option="com_content" item="auto" item_params="f,e"}    

Obviously, I need this to work to allow front end content editing. Otherwise, the shortcode gets deleted each time we edit the page content on the frontend.

Hi there,

I don't understand what the poblem is. Please explain with more details.

Also, the login does not work.

Try login now - it was not activated - sorry about that.

1) Use the provided URL or login from front end of www.virusys.com
2) In Latest Additions module on right margin, select the article "tester"
3) You'll see the MCN follow button at the bottom of the page.
4) Try to edit the page and see what the shortcode looks like.
5) Shortcode is not there.
6) Do the same thing from the backend and the shortcode is visible on the edit page.

I have other people editing these pages on the frontend. When they modify the content and save, the follow button dissappears because the shortcode is now gone.

When might you look at this?

Hi there,

This problem has nothing to do with the extension.
This is a problem with your editor. Your editor is deleting the shortcode from the article text.

I can't help you with that.

You must either ask for support from the developer of the editor or configure your editor to work properly and not arbitrarily delete stuff from your articles.

Hi Yannis. The problem is still there even without an editor. I've also uninstalled my firewall.

Do you know that this is not a problem? Can you edit on the front end from you site?

No, there is no way for me to edit the page in the front-end. There is no edit button for my user.

You must check-in the article in the back-end so that I can edit in the front-end.

I checked in the article. (FYI - your account is super user)

I installed MCN on two other websites with the same results.

No editor, no shortcode when editing in front end.

Can you frontend edit shortcode on your site??

I have located the issue and I have replicated on my end.
I will release an update tomorrow with a fix.

How is that update coming along??

This was fixed 12 days ago.

Thank you - did not realize I had to manually download it.

After update of the plugin, the shortcode shows in the edit page now but still does not save. The problems is not yet solved.

Please confirm.

When I save the shortcode page, all content is deleted and a few nonsense characters remain.

Did you try to save the shortcode page when you worked with it two weeks ago?

Yes, of course I did. Everything works fine on my end. Make sure that the editor you are using does not strip special tags when saving.

OK - this time it was the firewall. Looks like its good to go now. Thanks!

You're welcome :)
