1.3.14 - Cannot EDIT record

[itechusa]

After a clean install of 1.3.14, everything works good, including the slight template changes to maintain the theme with our website.

I created a few entries and then found a few spelling errors in record 2, and needed to go back and edit.

When I click the record name from the "Edit Record" from the admin menu, it takes me to the form, but the fields are not populated from the database with my text.

This is the first time I have ever used phpMyFAQ, and it looks to be the best FAQ I have found. So I want to keep using it. Is this a KNOWN problem or an easy fix?

I am having the same problem.
I have found that nothing is displayed in the editing fields of the admin section when:

I try to edit an entry I created
When ging to approve a submitted FAQ
When a user answers another user's question and I try to add it to the FAQ.

Bitte!

Here is a patch I created from the diff of the file: faq/admin/record.edit.php on the original date 06/09/04 to the one updated by Thorsten on 06/10/04

You dont really need to use this patch because the downloadable archive has already been updated, but for those of us who like this kinda stuff, here it is.

Thorsten, thanks for the quick fix. If I spoke better German, I'd post in the bug tracker.

Thanks for the quick update. It works great.

I just installed the latest 1.4.1 release and can enter and edit records but when I try to edit an existing News item, the content field is blank.

I have checked this against both the WYSIWYG edit area and the non WYSIWYG edit area on both windows and macs, with the same result.

Could this be a similar problem to the one addressed in the comments above?

[Thorsten]

Hi,

I checked your issue on my test box and it works for me.

I just checked to duplicate the problem and it still exists on all my client side machines, windows and macs.

Could it be something on my server settings?

When I edit a News item I get a blank content field, and if I add anything to that field and save it, it replaces the original content for that News item.

I notice a slight difference in the layout between Edit Record and Edit News. In the Edit Record you click on the title of the record and in Edit News you click on the little edit icon next to the title. Are the queries handled differently.

Same problem here on a brand new installation of PHPMyFAQ 1.4.1. When editing articles, the field are not populated.

Apache 2.0.50 and PHP 4.3.8

Thanks again for your assistance. I am on the road for the next few days and it is not an urgent matter at all. Just really curious what might be happening with this issue.

[Thorsten]

Hi,

I might have an idea and I want to test it the next days.

Hi all,

This is my first try of a FAQ system and then also the first with phpMyFAQ. It's really cool !!
Thanks for this great job.
I just play with phpMyFAQ today. I just know a little of php but wanted to make it work.

About the problem of non displaying "Added content" for approval, I found that the SQL
request was empty due to bad language checking.
The problem is due to bad language saving when a user add content.

In "index.php" from line 32 to 37 there is the following code :

Code: Select all

    if (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"])) {
        $lang = trim(strtolower(substr($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"], 0, 2)));
    }
    else {
        $lang = "en";
    }

The "$lang" variable is correctly set before but always become "en" after.

Commenting those lines solves the problem.

I don't know if this is the right way to make it run but maybe this could be a hint to find
the real problem.

Hope this help,
Philippe
