It’s running into a problem with spellcheck, but I can’t see why it should. What build/version are you running- and do you have any extensions installed? And was this a direct consequence of an upgrade? (Might shift to tech support if it doesn’t look like an upgrade issue per se- my first bet is an extension.)
I just upgraded to the latest 1.6.3, and only have the replace install installed. It WAS doing it before, and I hadn`t touched my installation in years. Just came out of the blue.
Hm- I’d have thought the upgrade would address any issues like this. Try this- ftp in, go to system/core/core.spellcheck.php- delete the file, then upload a clean copy. Does that help?
If not- I’d create a new template, turn php parsing ‘on’ and put the following code:
<?php if ( ! class_exists('Spellcheck')) { require '/www/full/path/to/system/core/core.spellcheck.php'; }
You go into the control panel, click “Templates”, then choose the appropriate template group, and click “Preferences”. You’ll see a number of options for every template, including “Allow PHP?”.
Tim- sorry you keep hitting us on the weekends! Did you get the debug code working? Should have output either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ as a hint. It’s just a test- isn’t going to fix anything. Would just give us a hint as to why the cp is breaking. It shouldn’t be- but I can’t spot any other reports of it, so it’s odd.
When you check the output of the test page- can you also check ‘Admin- Utilities- PHP Info’- let us know what php version you’re running?
I am wondering if this extension:
ext.publish_form.php
has something to do with the problem. I removed it, but now I can’t publish. Why isn’t it included in the install package? Do I need it then (it seems so).
Well- it does interact with the publish form, so it’s possible. Try this- put the file back- then go to ‘Admin- Utilities- Extension Manager’- and in the top corner, click ‘Disable’ to disable all extensions. If you do them as a collective rather than individually, shouldn’t lose any settings.
Brother- I should have spotted that long before now. It is a first party extension and it’s still available for download, so I’ll give the crew a ‘heads up’ on the issue. Can’t see why it would jam the spellcheck, but apparently it is. Are you good with disabling it- it basically reverted the publish page to an older style.
No problem…I installed it in the past because I liked having everything on one screen for my smartphone to be able to handle the page. I’d still like to see everything I want on one page…categories, ping servers…a smaller body window…is it possible?
