When a member wants to edit an entry on the EE control panel on a site we recently constructed, he gets these warnings (however, he is able to make adjustments):

1.

Oddly, we copied this site from another EE site we constructed a few months earlier, but there are no PHP warnings there.

What have I done wrong, or did I forget to do?

Hi, Seashore Media.

Which version of EE are you experiencing this with? You can see your version info at the bottom of any control panel page.

We’ve seen this happen with earlier versions.

We use EE version 2.1.3.

We run this site on PHP 5.2.4.

The site we used to copy this site from, and that does not show PHP warnings, runs on an older PHP version: 5.1.6.

Seashore Media,

First, I must strongly recommend that you update the latest version of ExpressionEngine (2.3.1) as there have been numerous feature enhancements, bug fixes and security enhancements since 2.1.3

If that isn’t an option for you, are you using any custom publish layouts for this channel? Is this happening on one channel or all channels?

Cheers,

Hello Dan,

We will update, but since this site and license is just a few months old, I never expected to update it so soon.

To answer your question: we experience this on all channels.

Hi Seashore Media,

We try to release a new version of ExpressionEngine on a 12 - 14 week cycle. In general, we will always encourage updating to latest version as is feasible for you, but 2.1.3 in particular was a rather buggy release which is why I went with “strongly recommend” 😉 So given this schedule, you can expect the next release to be sometime in January or thereabouts.

With that out of the way, can you tell us if you are using any third-party add-ons or field types? Are you using any Publish layouts?

Cheers,

Hi,

The same php error is displaying my client when he logged into the CP. When I logged in as superadmin, I don’t see the error.

EE v 2.2.2

This is only happening when he adds or edits an entry for 1 particular channel.

The modules/plugins I have are:
Simple registration, taxonomy, better pages, protected links, wyvern, custom system messages, playa

Help please.

It is pretty strongly advised to go ahead and update to 2.3.1.  That said- take a look at this bug report- I believe the fix should take care of the issue for you.  And while it should have been squashed for 2.3.1, seems I need to take a closer look, as this report suggests otherwise.

I’ll poke that mystery.  You folks let me know if the fix in the report gets you squared away for now.  And… sounds like it may need to be carried over to 2.3.1 when you upgrade.
