new content not posting

Post by factor1 »

I have a ton of experience with CMSms (150+ sites to date) and im stumped on this. I have 2 installs of 1.9.4, on 2 different servers. One upgraded, one fresh install. Both of wich can not seem to create new pages.

Add new content, fill in the usual info, submit. No error, infact it confirms my content was addedd successfully.Yet no content shows in the pages view. The pages do show up in the database table _content, all with unique ids, and look generally normal.

One is a production site, with 30 or so pages, but can not add anything new. The new site has 1 home page by default, but can not create anything new.

Im stuck. 1.9.4 bug? something i need to re-configure?

I assume you mean my servers error_log, yes, no errors there and the debug looks average.

Fun fact, the pages are working, if i manually hit the address.
So still only showing home in the list of pages, yet i can get to the new pages via the urls (mysite.com/index.php?page=somecontent)

so pages are saving, in the DB, and accessible, Just not seen in the admin nor editable.

Hi there

I have the same problem - since upgrading from 1.9.3 - 1.9.4. However, there is a workaround. After you create a new page, go to "Site Admin --> Global Settings" and clear the server cache in the Advanced Setup tab. Go back to pages and your page magically appears. I hope this bug is being addressed in the next release. Please also read this:

Good find, that worked on my fresh install. I usually clear site cache often, but i didnt think that would affect the page listing.

Had the same problem, and strange enough, I chose the wrong timezone during install!
After I changed to it Europe/Berlin(in my case) in config.php everything worked as expected.

I still don't understand why this had such an impact on creating and reordering pages.

Yes, after I sent off a bug report Ronny Krijt replied:
This is a setting in config.php. Since PHP5.3 the TimeZone setting is required.
who would have thought ...

Looks like we may have to set the TZ to match the hosting server.

I removed my time zone completely (from config.php) and it worked fine after that.

Hi

If you have to use your servers timezone and not your own timezone, how do you correct for this in the cms - ie calendar entries, news, creation dates etc.

I'm stumped!

IIRC you have to edit the config file "timezone = GMT" or whatever to match the server. Sorry, can't remember the exact syntax of the statement.

Thanks - that is what is in place already.

But I don't want all my entries being for the server timezone, but my timezone. I am not in the same timezone, and that is the problem.

Regards

Nik
