I seem to have murdered a database row

    Well, a happy Wednesday to you.

    I have running on my machine a very minimal core install with the following Extensions installed

    FieldFrame
    LG LiveLook
    LG Add-on updater
    Gypsy
    jQuery
    LG Better Meta
    (and I had Clone on there)

    I was writing an entry in my blog (which uses two custom form fields) and used the “Quick Save” option several times.

    I have a preview template, that is Super Admin Access only, with a standard weblog entries tag and statuses set to Draft|Open

    When I tried to view the entry in the preview template, I saw nothing. When I checked the template debugging it returned no results.

    When I looked at the database in the exp_weblog_data table I saw the entry field and that everything to the right of it was blank.  No field formatting nothing.

    Why have I done? What have I done!!

    Thank you very much,
    Kenny

    What version and build of EE are you on? Is that reproducible behavior, or did it just happen once?

    Latest version of course Mr. Greil!

    It is reproduceable and actually really interesting.

    If I just save a new entry without Quick Save, everything works great, however if I quick save it at any point it will mess up.

    The game is afoot!

    Can you try to disable extensions altogether for testing? A lot of extensions don’t handle quick save correctly.

    I’m afraid too.

    Right now I’m ok with “Don’t use Quick update”, so you can close this as solved.

    I can always do that, of course, but I’d like to know which one of the extensions it was? Might help somebody else out. Or did you mean you “were afraid to” disable them, and didn’t try it?

    I’m afraid to disable them and didn’t try.

    Damn it. You caught me.

    I see… You did you say you were “afraid, too”, I misunderstood. Well, there’s really nothing scary about disabling extensions globally (using the big green button will do it globally while leaving all your settings intact), but I understand if you are hesitant. It’s just that I can’t replicate locally, so the first think I though of were, naturally, extensions.
