Can't add new model

Hi there, we have been using CF6 on a site for a while but just added CC6. I followed the FAQ to set up a basic listing but I got stuck on "Part 4: Retrieving data from more tables".

Part 4: Retrieving data from more tables
In part 4 we will show how you can create a simple table relationship to get the article's author username and display it in the table.

1. Open the connection and go to "Functions" > "read_articles".
2. Write "Author" in the "New model" box and click the "Add new model" button.
3. Wait for the new model to be added and then click the new "Author" label in the models menu to open the new model's settings section.

After I click "Add new model", the spinning loading graphic appears and never goes away.

The console shows me some JS errors...

Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function

    at HTMLButtonElement.onclick (index.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity6&cont=connections&act=edit&id=1:2289)

What's going on here and how do I fix it?

Joomla 3.8.3
PHP 5.6
CF 6.0.15
CC 6.0.6

Still having this problem, any advice?

HI megana,

It's possible that the problem is because MooTools is loading on the site and getting in the way of the jQuery code. Neither CF, CC or Joomla! 3.8 use MooTools any more.

Hi Bob,

I tried all three admin templates in case one doesn't load mootools, but all had the same error. Is there a way to prevent Joomla admin from loading mootools? Or I'm wondering what my Joomla admin is doing differently from everyone else's.

Thanks,

Hi Megan,

Sorry I have no idea why your site would load MooTools. I think that the jQuery Easy extension includes a MooTools blocker - you could try that if you can't work out what is loading it for you.
