Thread

This is my first attempt at creating an SAEF in EE1.6.9 and I’m running into issues right off the bat.  I’ve taken a look at: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/entry_form.html

... and just wanted to do some testing before really getting into it. 

So, I have a weblog called “sign_up” and just want to try and create some entries with my basic SAEF.  But, when I try to display my page with the SAEF, I get this error:

Error

The following tag has a syntax error:

{exp:channel:entry_form}

Please correct the syntax in your template.

Currently the only code on that page is:

{exp:channel:entry_form channel="sign_up" return="pb/index" preview="pb/register"}
{/exp:channel:entry_form}

Can someone tell me what the syntax error is??  I can’t find anything about what I’m doing wrong with code or if the error is a common error and how to fix it.

Thanks!

Hi, Joe. You’re using the example from the EE2.x docs instead of the EE1.x docs.

See:

http://expressionengine.com/legacy_docs/modules/weblog/entry_form.html

Does that help?

Yes!  Thank you!

I still haven’t gotten used to the upgraded site… I keep forgetting to go to the 1.x User Guide for documentation.

How do I close this thread, or mark as “solved”?  Or is that something admin does only?

Yes, we’re happy to do this for you 😊 please post again as needed.
