You can fix this with small code editions. I will commit that to JEM Responsive if you have successfully tried this solution.
Solution:
Go to JoomlaRoot/administrator/components/com_jem/views/attendees/tmpl and open default.php
Go to line 29 and insert this code after that line. This function simulates "click to the checkbox and then click the edit button".
JFactory::getDocument()->addScriptDeclaration('
function submitName(node) {
node.parentNode.previousElementSibling.childNodes[0].checked = true;
Joomla.submitbutton("attendees.edit");
}
');
Go to linie 101 and change
<td><a href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_jem&task=attendees.edit&cid[]='.$row->id); ?>"><?php echo $row->name; ?></a></td>
to
<td><a href="#" onclick="submitName(this); return false;"><?php echo $row->name; ?></a></td>
Attention, this solution may not work in Microsoft Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge (because of the "return false;").
Explanation of the problem:
I think this error message occurs because you are calling the edit form for an attendee directly. But normally the table of the attendees is a big form with an session token. This token is checked in the edit form. But when you call the edit form directly via the url, the token is not transferred. So I disabled the link and replace it with javascript that submits the form and thus transfers the token.
