Are you aware that only an admin or the author can read the notes?

yes, but i have rewrite the $notes. i show with the $notes a textline. it works fine but i can send the textline only over the function editStory to the database. but i can not send this over the function adminStory.

i must save my ID to first and then can i add my textline to database. but i want save the notes with the first save.

I cannot see any where in that function where the SQL query is even getting the notes data so thats probably a good place to start.

It is interesting that you have raised this point, I think it is the first time anybody has mentioned it in the forum, but it was something that I raised during the recent testing because I was using the notes field on a site I was developing.

I think everybody was in agreement that an admin should be able to access it from the start, but unfortunately it was too late to include it in the latest release.

I know this doesn't help you at the moment, but I will post a link to this forum topic in our issue tracker and maybe one of our developers will be able to help.

One quick fix I did was to comment out the IF statement in the autoEdit function, this means that the notes field appears for programmed articles. I know this isn't what you want, but it doesn't mean you can add notes before the article is published.
