This question may be related to a resolved thread.
I’ve experienced the above condition in the past (not having a status group set for a channel, and new entries always appear as closed) - I’m having identical symptoms, but without the same solution.
Here’s what happens:
Only in one particular channel (“referrals”), using safecracker, any non-super-admin member
upon submitting a new entry it is always “closed” (all data is submitted and recorded, but the status is closed)
Here’s what I’ve done for troubleshooting:
1. The channel has a status group assigned to it “referral statuses”.
2. I have assigned the “referrals statuses” to another channel, and used safecracker to post “open” entries successfully.
3. I have assigned the default status group (“statuses”... which work in other channels fine) to the “referrals” channel. Same result (all new entries are closed)
4. I have changed the member group of the member submitting the entry… same bad result.
5. The member group has permissions to post and edit entries in (members -> member groups -> edit member group)
6. The channel has the default status set to “new referral” (I have also changed this to “open”) - same bad result
7. I have used the “status = ‘New Referral’” in the safecracker options, as well as a hidden field.
8. I have included my MSM site name in the safecracker form - no change in results (and no other safecracker forms on my site require this… but I tested it)
8. I have stripped the form down to the most basic of basics, same bad result:
<html>
<body>
{exp:safecracker
channel="referrals"
status='New Referral'
}
title:
<input type="text" name='title' />
<input type='submit'>
{/exp:safecracker}
</body>
</html>I have modified the above code to enter in other channels, which are successful (post as “open”... this is the only channel that always posts “closed”)
9. I have eliminated jquery, safecracker_head, datepicker from the form… same bad result.
............
This isn’t critical, as I’ve applied a patch (I am post-processing the channel entry using a quick-and-dirty extension to update the newly posted entry to desired status) - but I would like to figure out why it’s doing this…
any ideas?
