There is a problem with creating new categories.....

Post by Mirage »

When I went to create a new category in the admin section under the site structure, after filling in the forms, I got a white screen with the word "error" on it. :evil: The path to the file with the error on it is:/include/inc_act/act_structure.php. Somebody else come accross this problem? By the way I did install the latest patch before I had this problem.

I think you need to check that you have all the database tables up to date - there are a few new ones that may be missing.

you should read through your current data base and cross reference it with the sql script supplied within the phpwcms setup folder.
but the lazy-days way is .....
to zip up your existing slq database files - execute the latet download .sql script from the phpwcms setup folder then copy all your zipped up sql files back over the top of the new ones. This should give you back all your files plus any new entries the the latest install had added.

hope it helps. but if you kill anything on the way please don't set the hit-men on me :)

I am always worried that if my advice should be followed and it were to corrupt data and/or lose your work that I might wake up with a horses head in my bed ;) I would hate for that to be the case though I'm sure If backups were made you would be able to wind the clock back.
