Preview of node is diabled for administrator

I'm having the same problem. When the product API module is enabled and I try to preview any type of content on my site, it returns the edit form without the preview of the post.

I'm running ecommerce-5.x-3.x-dev downloaded on 3/19/07.

thx!

I can confirm this bug. It's not a tragedy, but it is rather annoying.

I looked into the code, and couldn't figure out why on earth this would happen...
The problem is obviously in:

function product_form_alter($form_id, &$form)

This causes the issue:

if (user_access('administer products') && $form['type']['#value'] != 'product') {
[...]
#$form['#after_build'] = array('_product_transform_skip_validation');
}

Now, the problem is somewhere in _product_transform_skip_validation

The code is:

function _product_transform_skip_validation($form, $edit) {
if ($_POST['op'] == t('Add to store')) {
_product_skip_validation($form);
}
return $form;
}

I am not at all familiar with the after_build mechanism. However, reading the documentation:
http://api.drupal.org/api/5/file/developer/topics/forms_api_reference.ht...
It looks like the variable $edit should be returned, rather than $form. I tried that, and well, it didn't work at all. Besides, it's the $form that needs to be changed...

I am out of ideas. However, this report should at least point a person with real Drupal skills to fix it properly. Till then, the person who administers the products can't see the preview - AND, I am not sure this is just the effect of a much worse bug in the code.

I will keep an eye on it - please have a look!

Hi,

I looked into it more, and I was full of it - it is indeed "form" that needs to be returned...
God knows why "system" doesn't. Oh well!

Anyhow, I found the problem!!!

the node.module has:

$form['#after_build'] = array('node_form_add_preview');

Now, if the ecommerce module does this:

$form['#after_build'] = array('_product_transform_skip_validation');

It effectively KILLS the node's preview after_build function!
So, that line needs to be:

$form['#after_build'][] = array('node_form_add_preview');

And the problem is solved. I think this is "the" solution to the problem - please check and make the change. I won't include it as a patch as ALL there is is a missing set of square brackets [] (line 443).

Bye!

Merc.

This has been fixed in v3-dev and v4-dev
