Hi Tony, Dirk
I just upgrade to 1.3.5. I am having some problems adding stories when I go via Stories at Admin Block. It appears that when I enter a story via "contribute", the story is accepted but not if I go via New Story.
The procedure that I am encountering a problem is as follows:
1. Go to Stories at Admin Block
2. at Story List, clicked on "New Story"
3. enter title, Intro text
4. Look at preview
5. Nothing happens
I also tried adding images but since nothing happens with a simple entry, the images element will also not work.
I also encountered another problem. I cannot seem to amend any existing stories. Even though I can go and edit the document, Clicking "save" doesn't make the amendments.
Can you please help? Have I left out some permission or ownership in chown or chmod?
Thank you.
Hrm...

This is *very* odd. Do you have a URL I can view this at? Is this a Root user you are working with? Maybe try creating a new Root user and testing it out.
Please note that with 1.3.5 if you click "contribute" you should be redirected to the admin/story.php page if you are a story administrator. Is this happening?

The URL is http://www.seanetwork.org.

I tried creating a new admin but it behaves exactly the same as the first admin.

As Admin, when I click contribute, I get to submit.php page where I get to the page that has "Read First" prompt and "submit a story" prompt. It does not go to Admin/story.php as you suggest.
Thanks
Barry
Please ignore previous note and see this.

Hi Tony
I decided to re-create geeklog 1.3.5 (with a new database) to see if my problem is due to the upgrade process. We encountered the same problem. Please visit http://corinth.antioch.com.sg/chinese/www/
Logging in as Admin:
1. I still cannot submit new stories via Stories in Admin Block.
2. If I click contribute, we get the URL with www/submit.php?type=story. I do not get to www/admin/story.php?
3. I also cannot edit any stories.
I am running Redhat 7.0, MYSQL-3.23.32-1.7, php-4.0.4pl1-3. Do you know if this could be a problem? When we ran Geeklog 1.3.4, we did not hit any such problems.
If you wish, I can email you the password to the site so that you can test this out. Please let me know if you wish to test it out.
Thank you
Barry
