[PARTIALLY SOLVED] Problem with creating Section Headers in 1.9

[spcherub]

This issue may already be in the fix-list for 1.9.1 but I thought I'd post it just in case it was not.

I'm unable to create a Section Header - I get the error "Alias must be all letters and numbers" .

CMSMS v1.9 ("Bora Bora").

Thanks,
Sanjay

I also had the problem with 1.9, but since 1.9.1, I have a javascript error (document.contentform is undefined), so it still don't work...

So there is a workaround for people that are wrestling with creating a new Section header in 1.9 - thanks to ajprog.

Create a regular page (type Content), name it what you like, including alias.
Save.
Then edit the same page and change content type to "Section Header".
Save.

Downside - if you even need to change the page-alias of the Section Header, then you'll have to reverse the steps listed above - make it a Content page again, alter the page-alias, then change it back to a Section Header.

Hopefully this will tide you over until it is fixed in 1.9.x.

Thanks,
Sanjay

This is fixed in SVN,

workaround is to just press SUBMIT after pulling down the content-type. That will fail, due to empty fields, but will reload the page with the proper settings.

Hi RonnyK, your workaround doesn't work for me.
once i change the content-type to Section Header and press SUBMIT i get warning on empty fields then if i fill in details and hit SUBMIT again it will bring up "Alias must be all letters and numbers" .... and again and again
