CMS Made Simple Forums

Afternoon Everyone,

I have had this problem for two versions but just use the submit button. Now I have more then myself using the CMS and the problem is getting annoying.

On a page, newer or older, if you click the apply button nothing happens. No changes are made, nothing is saved, just nothing.

If you hit submit then the changes take effect and work.
Based on what I have been reading: I have made sure my files where up to date. Refreshed my install. removed any un-needed modules, cleared cache. Checked my permissions. Tested MicorTiny, TinyMCE and FCKeditor. All with the same problem. Then removed all editors and just did the HTML, same problem. Searched google and this does not seem to be a common problem at all.

Current host is HostGator, the old host was Godaddy. A number of minor issues left when I left Godaddy, but this carried over.

Submit, Cancel work, but Apply causes no behaviour or actions. Like hitting a switch for a dead light bulb.

Thank you.

Sounds like the server time zone problem, you may need to put the time zone of the server in the config.php...

$config['timezone'] = 'America/Denver';

Thanks Doc, I will try that right now.

Hey Doc,

I tried that. Copied what you posted, then switched up for my time zone. Problem persisted. Cleared cache, tried different browsers, even tried my kids laptop. Same problem.

Any other ideas?

Thanks again!

You have to be sure you are giving it the "servers" time zone not the one you live in, I have a host that is in texas but the server is in chicago...

Ahhh thanks Doc. I will double check that.

Didn't even cross my mind.

Hey Doc,

Sorry lost a week due to medical needs.

I have tried the two locations (Dallas and Huston) and nothing has changed.

The other thing I have noticed is when I make A Redirect Link, and then change the target, _blank does not work.

So I have the wrong locations or I have another problem going on.

Any thing else?

Thanks for your time.

Have you tried getting a hold of your Host to ask where the physical location of your server is?...

Hey Doc,

The tech I talked to said Dallas and Houston.

I can try calling again tomorrow and see if I get another location.

Thanks.

Well, after weeks of complaints, calls and tickets, suddenly my Apply buttons work.

Oddly the Globals blocks worked first and then days later the Apply button worked for the pages.

They did something but I am not certain what, no disclosure.

Thank you Doc for taking the time to help out.
