Am setting up a new SafeCracker form, but running into an error right from the start. When I submit the form, I get an error “The Display Name field is required.” I’ve stripped down the template to the barebones, and am still getting the error.

{exp:safecracker channel="lakes" return="lakes/ENTRY_ID"}

<label for="title">Title</label>
<input type="text" name="title" id="title" value="{title}" maxlength="150" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
{/exp:safecracker}

Am running EE 2.2.1 with hotfixes (http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/193320/) applied.

Not sure if this helps troubleshoot, but the error console in Firefox indicates two instances of “$ is not defined.” on lines 31 & 37. When viewing the source code for the file linked from the error console, it only has 29 lines, with the last being:

<style type="text/css">.hasDatepicker{background:#fff url(<a href="http://localhost/iaglr/themes/cp_themes/default/images/calendar_bg.gif">http://localhost/iaglr/themes/cp_themes/default/images/calendar_bg.gif</a>) no-repeat 98% 2px;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:99%;}</style>[removed]$.createDatepickerTime=function(){a=new Date();b=a.getHours();c=a.getMinutes();if(c<10){c="0"+c;}if(b>12){b-=12;d=" PM";}else if(b==12){d=" PM";}else{d=" AM";}EE.date_obj_time=" '"+b+":"+c+d+"'";};$.createDatepickerTime();[removed]

Hi, PDM. I’m going to be testing this on a slightly newer version of EE on Firefox. Which version of EE and Firefox are you testing with?

Hi Sue,

I’m using FF 5.0 and just tested in IE 9.0 and it doesn’t work there either. Am using EE v 2.2.1.

Thanks!

Hi, Paula!

If you try with the exact code from the docs:

{exp:safecracker channel="contact_form" return="contact/thanks" }
        <input name="title" type="text" /> 
        <input name="my_custom_field" type="text" /> 
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    {/exp:safecracker}

Does that work? You can find other known-working examples here. 

Also, are you using any third-party custom field types, or extensions?

Thank you.

Thanks Lisa! Set up a contact_form channel to test, and that worked…so sleuthed around a bit more in the lakes channel that wasn’t working, and realized I’d overlooked one of the name fields for the lakes channel in a matrix field. With title, display name, alternate names, and local names fields, I’m getting “named” out! Chalk this up to class=“duh moment” and case=“closed”!

Hi, PDM,

Awesome!  That would have been a bear to find.  I’m glad that I got you going down the right path, and happy you were able to figure out what was actually broken.

If anything else comes up, please don’t hesitate to start a new thread and let us know!
