Thread

I’m using a channel form to allow readers to submit letters to the editor that can include pictures. Here’s the (redacted) code:

{exp:channel:form channel="{my_channel}" category="37" return="/site/page/5569" status="closed"} 
<textarea name="body" cols="50" rows="20" class="rich_text"></textarea>
{field:pictures} 
<input type="submit" value="Post" />
{/exp:channel:form}

The form seems to work OK. You can enter photos and captions just as you would in the the control panel. But when I save the form, and go to edit the entry in the control panel, all of the entry is there, except for the grid contents, which are empty.

Here’s the page:  http://coastsider.com/beta/post

You can add an entry if you like. All entries from this form are posted as closed.

Hi,

I post three letters :

developer test , developer test 2 , developer test 3

please check it all and see if the grid content posted .

I found four posts (developer test went through twice). None had any images in the pictures field.

Hi,

ohh, ok let us make it simple , so we know the problem in this page or on all your site.

try to put this simple code in a new template:

{exp:channel:form channel="{my_channel}" } 
<input type="text" name="title" id="title" value="{title}" size="50" maxlength="100" >
{field:pictures} 
<input type="submit" value="Post" />
{/exp:channel:form}

and see if it works , or create a new channel with just a grid field and try this simple code.

try it and let me know.

Regard’s.

Excellent suggestion. Thank you.

That form works as expected.  I’ll go back and rebuild the form and see what the problem is.

It’s now working. Thanks again for taking the time to help.
