Re: Changes not taking effect (not showing in admin-panel)

New to Couch, and all has been going well. It's a surprisingly flexible CMS!


I'm having an issue after trying to include an email capture form containing invalid characters:

Code: Select all
<input name="fields[email]" ... >


After some digging in the documentation I resolved the fields[email] problem (removed it entirely), then found another issue with an editable variable that was also invalid due to capitals:

Code: Select all
<cms:editable name='drip_formID' ... />


Since renaming the variable, I can't get the template to edit.

Have tried:
- checked the entire template for any other inputs using invalid characters
- CTRL F5 reload on every single page (template root, cloned page, site root, other templates, etc)
- renamed all the related names in the group
- included the superadmin check from this thread which shows I'm logged in as superadmin on the cloned page
Image

Still, all I can see is:

ERROR: Tag "input" 'name' contains invalid characters. (Only lowercase[a-z], numerals[0-9] hyphen and underscore permitted


Not sure what else to debug to get this working.
Any help appreciated!

Hi,

The error points to an <cms:input> tag -
ERROR: Tag "input" 'name' contains invalid characters.

I think you need to try and scrutinize those in the particular template (and any snippets embedded within it).

If you need some more pairs of eyes, feel free to post the template here and we'll try to find the problematic statement.

Thanks KK.

edit - fixed the issue by deleting the template entirely and then re-adding it to couch. Not quite sure what caused couch to not load it once the variables were fixed, but it's working now.

Cheers

I'm using a XAMPP setup on my laptop and have couch running on it. I was going through the "Building a real-world site" and "Starting off simple - the About-Us page" tutorial on this site. I followed the codding instructions on the very same template shown "Aurelius" and downloaded the template from that page.

I followed and checked the instructions several times on adding, after the required first and last required code for editing the template, the editing tags to the beginning and ending content sections as described very well in the tutorial.

My problem is, only the first editable content section shows up in the admin panel. The "Our mission" content section shows but not the "Our History" section. At first it only showed up for the "Our History" section and not the "Our Mission" section. I tried removing the code(tags) from the "Our History" section and the "Our Mission'" section showed up in the admin panel and now I can't get the "Our History" section. I can't seem to get them both to show up as shown.

I have double and triple checked the code and it appears just like the pictures in the tutorial,
I have also included the Edit or Can Not Edit code provided in this posting string, shows EDIT.
Made sure that I have super-admin rights in the Advanced Settings section
I have also closed and reopened my browser. Logged in and out several times.

Not sure why it works for only one content section and not the other. Help? I hope I have described the problem properly.
I really like this CMS and it's very promising, a solution would be fantastic!

Thanks.
As for the attachment, one may zip up the files first before attaching.

Anyway, looking at the code I can see that you are trying to define two editable regions but the *names* of both the regions are the *same* -
Code: Select all
<!-- Column 1 / Content -->
<cms:editable name='main_content' type='richtext'>
..
..
<!-- Column 2 / Sidebar -->
<cms:editable name='main_content' type='richtext'>

For the perspective of Couch, the second region is only modifying the first one (of the same name) and not creating a second one.

I think therein lies your problem.
Please give unique names to each region you define.

Hope this helps.

I missed that, of course, thanks for pointing that out!

My second editable area code is suppose to be;

Code: Select all
<!-- Column 2 / Sidebar -->
<cms:editable name='sidebar_content' type='richtext'>


Thank you!

I'll change it!

I have written the <?php require_once('couch/cms.php'); ?> <?php COUCH::invoke(); ?> code to a PHP page which I need to edit in couch admin panel. The problem is that the page is still not shown in the admin panel of couch. Why is it so?

Code in that page is given below.
