have newest Content Taxonomy module and CCK 5.x-1.5.

When i try to create "newtype" content i also get a blank page rather than a form.

Everything worked ok before i installed the Taxonomy fields module: since it works for everyone i'm sure i've stepped on some well hidden bug, and it's biting.

if i could get it to work, this module would give me exactly what i've been looking to do. Help!

i also have the latest Pathauto module installed, 5.x-1.1. dunno if that makes a difference.

ok i looked into it and installed all the modules you named but don't get the same problem.
which doesn't mean anything because there are 10,000 and a half settings that could be different.

as far as i could chase it down there is a problem in taxonomy_fields_form_alter(). at least when i put manually a wrong value into $form it leads to a blank 'create newtype content' and an error on 'manage fields' of the cck.

which field modules are you using and what versions?
are you talking about a test or live site?
when you click the 'back' button of your browser from the empty 'create...' page, do you see any errors?

pretty sure we can get this sorted.

Hi boneless;

Thank you for helping: much appreciated!

It's not a live site. We're putting real content into it in preparation for bringing it live: i guess it's about a third the way through the beta phase. It would still be in beta even after we go live, until we iron out the bugs that real use will inevitably expose.

There are no errors reported anywhere i can find. When i hit the back button on the blank "Manage fields" page i go directly back to the previous page. Same thing happens on the blank content form; i just go directly back to the "Create Contents" page.

These are the CCK-related modules i've got installed:

cck_address: 5.x-1.x-dev
cck_field_perms: 5.x-1.7
content_taxonomy: 5.x-1.x-dev
date: 5.x-1.x-dev
fieldactions: 5.x-1.0
fieldgroup_table: 5.x-1.x-dev
imagefield: 5.x-1.x-dev
link: 5.x-1.4
matrix: 5.x-1.x-dev
taxonomy_fields: 5.x-1.4-dev
viewfield: 5.x-1.1
workflow_fields: 5.x-1.x-dev

Taxonomy Access: 5.x-1.x-dev
OG: 5.x-1.x-dev
OG Content Type: 5.x-1.x-dev

hey b

i still can't reproduce the bug and i won't have too much time to look into it this week.
are you able to debug it through 'taxonomy_fields_form_alter()' and see whats getting returned there?
you can also try and comment the line '$form = array_merge(...)' and see if the problem persists.
then we know if the problem lies there.
sorry that i'm not a big help, but got some important stuff going on here.

Hi boneless;

i'm sorry it took so many months to get back to this. i'm afraid i gave up and went to try other alternatives. However, i decided none of them are as nice as using your module, and recently resurrected the content type that uses this module and banged on it a bit, and found that with the latest module upgrades everything seems to work.

Our graphics design person did have me stumped abt how to display the fields that this module outputs, and for that i'll start a separate issue.
