users can't create main category

[reko]

Hi all,
this time it's me having a problem...

I cannot create my main category using the front end ucp: the button which should say Create or Erstellen (I deleted the German language files because I thought it might be a translation issue) has not text in it and if I click it it does not create the category (title check is working), no error messages, one tab earlier the avatar upload is working...

looking at the code I found that the corresponding input field has no value:

Code: Select all

<input onclick="return(checkCreateCatForm());" id="phocagallerycreatecatsubmit" [b]value="" [/b]type="submit">

I think it's a template issue, because when using a standard template is works. But what could be the reason for that??

any help or hints are appreciated!

thanks

Hi, check if in your template there is a part for displaying system messages. Some templates miss this part and you get not error or warning message (e.g. you get no message like "category was not selected", etc.)

Hi Jan, thanks for your answer! Yes, system messages are displayed. In fact the template is based on the standard template, we just changed/added some css...

I solved it!
Sorry it was my fault
I was using a template override (for the user-upload and -category views) which I forgot about and I never updated this files...
removed them an it works.
