Unable to submit.

Post by tommo »

Thorsten,

I upgraded this morning to 1.53 and since then no one has been able to submit. If they try to submit even thought all boxes are completed they get the message telling them that they need to fill in the name email records etc.

Article Submission

Required fields are your name, your email address, category, headline and your Article!
I've tried to update again and now the news has disapeared from the front page, although it is in the admin section but it won't post

One other problem i noticed although not from 1.53 is that using the hyperlink button in the html editor doesn't create a hyperlink, I think this has been around since you fixed the rn problem.

Site is www.freezine-articles.com

Hi,

please use the new template/artikel.tpl file since we changed something there to enable multiple category selections in the public frontend in 1.5.3.

Thorsten adding artikel.php made no difference, users can't submit and the news doesn't display

Hi,

you need to change template/artikel.tpl, not artikel.php.

I tried again and it is still the same,
template/artikel.tpl file dated 23/09/2005

Is there any documentation for rolling back to the previous version? Or If i do a completly fresh install can I still connect to the database with the 1000's of records?

I have backups of the database and saturday nights back up of the site, whats the best way to proceed?
I would really appreciate your advice as i am in one hell of a panic here!

Thank you that fixed the submit articles problem,

I still can't get news to appear on the front page , I get the "no news is good news " message, whilst in this case no news isn't good news!

Hi,

I changed nothing in the news section... the news are shown in the RSS feeds. Strange! I'll take a look at it!

This could have been caused when I tried the second install last night as it disapeared after that

I didn't change anything, I tried to roll back to 1.5.2 by reinstalling that , when that failed I reinstalled 1.5.3 again and the news disapeared.

Any news I add doesn't appear and the old news which is still shown won't appear either.

Hi,

the RSS feeds are working so the data is in the database. How does the configuration look like at the point "Number of news articles"?
