Hello all,

I am having trouble with the content plus 2.2.2 module the issue is
I can add catagories but no pages

ERROR: Title and Text Couldn't Be Empty

This is a new install, RN version 2.4
php version 5.2.11

both the user and admin sides.
any clues?

Thank You in advance

Seems like title or text fields are being left empty... At the time you need to fill both title and text fields in order to avoid this error. In future versions you'll be allowed to fill title and one of the following... header, text or footer and not mandatory text.

Hope this helps

Trying to schematize the situation

title -> mandatory
header -> optional
text -> mandatory
footer -> optional
signature -> optional

I receive the error with all the fields filled out or just the required ones.

I tried a complete re-install of the cms and same issue.

Working under the assumption your talking about the site linked from your profile, it could possibly be theme or block related, if your theme has layout errors it's possible it could break the form, and thus result in your issue. Try it out in one of the default RN themes.

UPDATE: I recommend the HTML tidy addon for firefox, if you run it you will see you have some unexpected form errors on your site, for instance:

Code:




<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="name" VALUE="Shopping_Cart"></TD></TR></FORM>

which looks to be part of the "shopping cart" search block

Thank you, very helpful,
I removed the shopping cart just to make sure then I went through all the themes that are dist with cms and found that I have this error with all of them but one RAVENICE this one works fine.

ok, well ravenice has a "tableless" layout so that may have helped with how some of your forms are nested in the page. But the main issue is with some html errors in your modifications, not with RN. The major ones being multiple instances of:
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
(should only be used once in a page)

you don't have to fix every error but this will give you an idea

as I said before I recommend the tidy html addon for firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/249

which IMO is easier to use and even gives you tips on how to fix each problem. It won't catch as many errors as some online validation services, but it will catch the important ones that cause problems such as yours. I would recommend switching back to your preferred theme and fixing any of the form errors as well as the major html errors and your problem will probably go away Smile

As per your advice I started to fix as much as i can as time allows, during this process I discovered that the linkus block was the cause of the problem when removed all works as intended, it would insert the linkus logo onto the txt section of the the content module.

and again thanks for your help

cool, I stopped by your site yesterday and noticed you had some content pages, so figured you had made a breakthru Smile
