1.9.4.1 - New pages don't show in admin panel

[gocreative]

Hi,

Yesterday I installed CMSMS version 1.9.4 and today upgraded to 1.9.4.1. I created two new root-level pages and was advised in each case that adding the new page was successful, however neither of them are visible in the admin panel (Content > Pages).

When I attempted to create them again, I was unable to as the alias already existed, which leads me to believe that the pages are in the database but not showing in the admin panel.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I've found this workaround:

http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... =8&t=52680

However that obviously doesn't solve the problem. This is a highly critical task so are the CMSMS team aware of its urgency? I see it's in the bug list as well but listed as a low priority.

Changing the time zone was the only thing we saw that might work, we were unable to duplicate this issue...

The TimeZone setting is required on a PHP5.3 environment.

The TZ makes the setting of the creation on pages, where the server is checking against. So if the TZ is not set then they might differ, and only later the cache may be cleared automatically.

And upto now, all had it correct when making the correct settings. So nothing CMSMS specific as an issue, just about configuring correctly.

Same Issue. I installed CMSMS 1.9.4 and 1.9.4.1. I noticed the new time zone field that appeared in the installation process.

Basically, I didn't read the directions and chose the client time zone, not the server time zone.

Finding out the server time zone and changing it in the config file fixed everything. I also tried leaving the value blank, and that worked too.

May be a good usability idea to move this to the beginning of the lang statement. B/c I could see a lot of new users messing up here.

NOTE: This must be your server's time zone, not your or your client's time zone!

Except that this was never an issue before 1.9.4

Incorrect. The timezone stuff was introduced in CMSMS 1.9 However, we just went through a time change (that ugly DST stuff).

if you looked at the files that were changed between 1.9 and 1.9.1 through 1.9.4.1 the timezone stuff has not changed. We simply ask for a timezone on install, and if that variable is set to a non empty value, we call a single function.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

Turns out the solution for me was my host correcting a permissions issue on the server!

Marvellous quick and easy solution - I was having the same issue. Thanks very much for posting.

I had the same problem. From config.php I changed this line:

Code: Select all

$config['timezone'] = 'Europe/Helsinki';

to

Code: Select all

$config['timezone'] = '';

It worked...

Same for me ... I've been beating my head against this all morning! My TZ was set correctly for my server too.

Many thanks for the help

Setting the timezone variable to blank in the config did NOT work for me. After I cleared the cache and added another page, again the new page did not display.

Also, our production server is running php 5.2.9, so php 5.3's timezone requirement does not appear to be causing the issue in this case.
