News, Pages, Articles, not adding

lucian

Hi,

I ran Zenphoto 1.2.4 a while back and decided to upgrade to 1.4.0.3. I installed, and didn't seem to have too many troubles, but for some reason, I am unable to add any pages or articles, or categories. I typed out a long article, clicked on ADD ARTICLE. The script runs, then my typed page disappears, there is no error message, no article saved message, nothing. There is also no new article added when I click on the articles tab. The same occurs when I try to add a category, or page. Anything to do with ZenPage, basically. I am able to upload photos, etc.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting?

Also, am unable to download nightly builds. Link brings me back to the homepage.

Thanks.

-- eventually found the link to nightly build, but problem persists.

Most likely this is caused by some database change that got missed out because of the large jump in releases. Of course, we do not know. We are unable to test all these possibilities.

Do you have a Zenphoto backup of your database? One thing you might try (if you do have backup) is dropping the "news" table and re-runnign setup. This will at least create a correct "news" table. Hopefully then you will be able to import your articles from the Zenphoto backup.

What specific link to the nightly builds did not work? I just tested the one on the download page and it seems to work for me. We have migrated our Website from Wordpress to Zenphoto and there may still be some glitches.

Hi sbillard, this was actually a fresh installation that failed to add anything. I was testing it out before implementing it. I will test it on a backup and try again.

http://www.zenphoto.org/pages/nightly-builds

Nothing on that page works for me, such as http://www.zenphoto.org/?download=2135

EDIT: I dropped the zp_news. Exported the old news database which at the time was zp_zenpage_news, and imported correctly. The database shows up correctly in the administration, but editing and adding still are not working properly.

I removed everything and installed version 1.4 base. Articles failed. I removed the installation and installed 1.3 which allowed me to add things. Just a little more information.

I just tested a demo on http://www.opensourcecms.com/demo/2/152/Zenphoto

That wouldn't save any articles either.

lucian... I know exactly what you're doing. You need to click 'apply' instead of 'add article'.

I ran into this a while back myself and brought it up then. At that point the 'add article' button and 'apply' button were right next to each other.

The same for the other pages, after you enter everything in to your liking, click 'apply' instead of 'add category' or 'add page' etc

lucian

micheall, you have saved me from headache and torment. For some reason I looked at the add article button as the way to add my article and never considered that it was the button to start over.

Probably best to remove that button when the page is already in the new article page.

Thanks!

We have change the button to "apply" everywhere so we have a conistent name. The reason is that it also counts for hte bulk actions on the list views.

"Add article" and similar are in the current release on the right side while the "apply" one is on the left. The "add" ones stays as so you can direclty add another page after saving/apply the current one.
