can't see content to edit

Post by 51joe »

I have just updated to 1.9.4.1 and now can not see any content to edit?

If i click the preview button I see the content, but when i click on the main button cannot see any content. In fact cannot even see the box to edit the content in. If I refresh i get a very brief flash of the edit box.

I tried the tip of reinstalling template mentioned in http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... =8&t=53877
but no luck.

i'm running phpversion 5.2.15 with MySQL 5.1.53 on Linux 2.6.32.

set the timezone in the config.php. As now the empty TZ in the config, might cause caching.

just done a clean install into a new database in a new folder & viola it works - can see content to edit!

so what do i need to look at on the live site that has 4 yrs of content on?
- is it the database?
or one of the cmsms files i need to re-upload?

EDIT
have now copied the backup database into this clean install of CMSMS and now i can't see the content to edit on this site as well. Must mean there is an error in the database somewhere, how to spot it though?

I've reinstalled cmsmadesimple-1.9.4.1-full
made sure schema version is all up-to-date. But still unable to edit any content.

could it be anything to do with these warnings;

Code: Select all

Checking PHP time limit in second
(minimum 30, recommend 60 or greater)
You have 30 

Checking max post size
(minimum 2M, recommend 10M or greater)
You have 8M

Checking max upload file size
(minimum 2M, recommend 10M or greater)
You have 7M

Are you sure your template has the default {content} tag in it and what version were you running before upgrade, make sure you didn't have any pages that were set to content type News or Album as they are no longer supported and can mess with the site/function...
