I have been having issues with this module in both v 9.15 and v 9.18. And each time it occurs I assume it is something that I have done and reinstall from scratch using a fresh Joomla install along with Cobalt and then Emerald. I was having other issues and some of those were eliminated by also installing Emerald.
The problem is that when I use mod_cobalt_filter it throws a file not found error. The message is as follows:
"Warning: require_once(/home/pizzadiscount/public_html/mint2/components/com_cobalt/library/php/helpers/api.php): failed to open stream: No
such file or directory in /home/pizzadiscount/public_html/mint2/modules/mod_cobalt_filters/mod_cobalt_filters.php on line 22
in /home/pizzadiscount/public_html/mint2/modules/mod_cobalt_filters/mod_cobalt_filters.php on line 22"
So it looks like api.php is in the wrong place. A workaround is making a copy of api.php from the component/com_cobalt/api.php and copying it to the requested location. Then as expected a new set of errors occurs. They are as follows:
"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class CobaltApi in /home/pizzadiscount/public_html/mint2/components/com_cobalt/library/php/helpers/api.php on
line 78"
By commenting out from line 78 to the end of the file, everything seems to work again. The only exception that I have found so far is that is tag cloud throws a warning. But at least it doesn't take down the site like before!
