Bug #18695
closed
Not saving the changes made in Template Tool
Added by Anonymous over 16 years ago.
Updated about 6 years ago.
Description
- When making changes to "Constants" and "Setup" in the "info/modify" section of "Template Tool", the given changes are not saved.
- tested in IE7, and Opera 9.27 - both experience the same problem
- in Firefox 2.0.0.14, it is working fine
Happening in 4.2.0, 4.2.0RC2, 4.2.0RC1
(issue imported from #M8241)
This issue continues to happen in 4.2.0. Only Firefox saves the TypoScript changes performed in Template Tools (Info/Modify).
I can confirm this also happens in:
- IE7 on windows Vista (with IE7 Pro)
The desired behaviour (the edits are saved) happen in
- Konqueror 3.5.7 on kde 3.5.7. on Gentoo Linux
- Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.6 on Gentoo Linux
- Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14 on windows Vista
I wasn't able to get to the page in
- Netscape Communicator 4.79 on windows Vista (Archaic, I know)
- Lynx (unknown version) on windows Vista (which gave a nice "your browser is incompatible with typo3" notice)
Finally someone noticed this behaviour. Thank you, Tijmen. I thought that my reports are just ignored.
I am just adding: I am surprised that it got to the stable version. I announced it for the first time for the RC.
Second addition: Does it mean that no one is using TypoScript? I can't believe!
Please notice also bug No. 0008202. It is a similarly serious problem. Thank you. These all are new bugs (i.e., not before 4.2.0 XX); the result of the "new development".
Tomas: I was reporting bugs of my own and was just confirming your bug report - however I had run into this bug allready. I just thought it was a "feature" - when you read "click edit to view" one way or the other, it sounds slightly logical that you can't edit (because you're only viewing)
???
Dear Tijmen,
I don't understand how you mean it. This is a clear bug. Imagine, you change 20 lines of TypoScript, only to find out that upon saving, your changes are discarded in some browsers. For me, it was a big surprise, as it never happened before v.4.2.0.
Same problem with IE6, no problems with Firefox.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
Tomas: I first saw it in IE and thought it was an view-only-field, and it was meant as such, and it was an error you could also edit.
Only upon reading this bug report, I realised the error was the other way around.
to work around you can use the "Click here to edit whole template record " button. Saving of setup and constants will work. It does not using edit setup or edit constants only feature.
I remember we did some fix in this area, so is this still an issue?
Resolved, no change required after a month without feedback.
Please re-open if this is still a valid issue.
