After upgrading from 2.1.4 to 2.2.1 I’m getting a PHP error when I try to preview another member type layout. Looks and works fine when previewing the Super Admin layout, and when logged in as another member type it looks as it should.

Attached is a screen shot of what I’m seeing.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Hi bcrabtree,

I’m not able to reproduce this locally. Could you give us some more details about how to make this happen?

Which account are you logged into? What member group is that account a member of?
Which member group’s layout are you previewing?
Was that member group created based off of the Super Admin group?
What are the CP access privileges of the member group whose layout you’re previewing?

Any other details that would make it possible for us to reproduce this error would be very helpful. Thanks!

Sure, no problem. I’ll repost with all the info in a bit.

I am logged into the Super Admin account.

For some channels the bug is happening when I view the Site Admin layout preview, but on further investigation it is also happening for my Super Admin account layout preview on only one of my channels.

The Site Admin member group was created off of the Super Admin member group.

Site Admin has full CP access privileges except the following items are set to NO:
Can access the DESIGN section
Can access ADD ONS: Extensions
Can access ADD ONS: Plugins
Can access ADD ONS: Fieldtypes
Can access ADMIN section
Can access ADMIN: System Prefs
Can access ADMIN: Content Settings

So I think it may have something to do with my Third Party Pixel & Tonic field types, but I can’t disable those field types to test it.

Here is a list of my Channels with their installed field types:
Channel 1 (Bug Does NOT Occur):
Pixel & Tonic Wygwam
Text Input

Channel 2 (Bug DOES Occur):
File
Text Input
Text Area
Select Dropdown
Text Input
Pixel & Tonic Switch

Channel 3 (Bug DOES Occur for BOTH Site Admin & Super Admin):
Pixel & Tonic Matrix
- File
- Text

Channel 4 (Bug DOES Occur):
Relationship
Pixel & Tonic Dropdown
Pixel & Tonic Matrix
- File
- Text

Channel 5 (Bug DOES Occur):
Input Text
Pixel & Tonic Matrix
- File
- Text
- Pixel & Tonic Dropdown
- Pixel & Tonic Wygwam
Pixel & Tonic Wygwam
Pixel & Tonic Switch

Hi, bcrabtree. Just a quick note - with the release of 2.2.0 and 2.2.1, Brandon has updates for his add-ons. Make sure you replace them with newer versions.

Yep, I actually just saw that a couple min ago. Uploading the new versions and testing now. I’ll let you know how it goes.

So nope, didn’t fix anything. Looks like it might have something to do with the Matrix and Switch field types, so I’ve emailed Brandon about this as well to see what he has to say.

If you guys come up with anything let me know.

It’s not a major issue… Just kinda annoying.

Cheers.

Did some more testing and it doesn’t look like it has anything PT Switch or Matrix.

I removed the PT Switch field type from Channel 2 and I’m still getting the PHP error.

I got an error report regarding a missing field_visibility index for one of my fieldtypes, too. I think there’s a bug here, that doesn’t have to do with the fieldtypes themselves.

Any word on this?

Hey bcrabtree,

If you reset the layout for that group, is the preview still wonky then?

Well that did it. After resetting the layout the PHP error is no longer occurring. Kind of a pain to have to re-organize all my site admin layouts, but it worked so I’m happy.

Thanks!

Thanks for the update, bcrabtree. Glad that worked!

Rob, are you good here? Sounds like this might be a different issue?

Just updated this morning and I am getting the same error. bcrabtree said his problem cleared “after resetting the layout”. Can someone explain to me what that means exactly, so that I can duplicate?

In content > publish > entry view, open the tool bar, check all your member groups and click the “Reset Layout” button. It may not be in the toolbar if your seeing the error, it may be jumbled at the top of the page.

After clicking “Reset Layout” a success notification will appear at the top of the page, click it and it should read: “Layout Removed. Refresh Layout.”

Click “Refresh Layout” and you should be all set.

Attaching some screen shots for reference.
