Add ?view=json to pretty much any URL. Like this one: https://elgg.org/discussion/view/3090686/restful-ready?view=json The built-in Web Services system seems pretty crude, you might want to emulate browser fetch requests. E.g. this call... view reply

Your general problem is code in a module executes once. It sounds like your module should add an event listener for when colorbox opens. Just curious, what does that code do? view reply

Robert, you should definitely report this as a bug in Elgg (failures are not being logged) but can you please see if you can find a docker image that most matches your system (ideally with Apache/PHP)? We can then have a shot at reproducing... view reply

Last updated 4452 days ago by Steve Clay Comments (2)
