Add Another Item produces JS error and completely breaks tabledragging

I have same problem, I tried latest dev version but problem has not solved. Please advice.

Nick,
As ı specified at#6 I had same problem. Now, I changed widget type as "embed" and style the fields by CSS, this is works for now. you can try it this solution at this moment.

Nick,
OK, we need table as well but see the attached screenshot. I use embedded widget as editing form and I use table format as view.
and please note that divs and spans better than tables. I stylize with css and editing form looking as table, I have not finished styling yet. This is temporary solution until problem solved.

yenidem,
I've having the same issue. I'd like to get your css tweaks as temporary fix for issue if you're willing to post them here. Thanks - Lynnwood

I have found field collection table works fine with field collection 7.x-1.0-beta4, I'm not sure if beta4 has new features over beta2 though.

I have the need to fix this, but I am just short on time at the moment.

also experiencing this issue, both in beta1 and dev versions of field_collection_table...

downgrading to beta4 of field_collection seems to resolve this.

if you DO downgrade to field_collection beta4, you'll have to make some changes to the database manually...

This is possibly a duplicate of #1780394: The table header disappear when there is a validation errorHeader

More information:

Field Collection pretty recently added a setting "Hide blank items", which removes the last (empty) field item on multiple-value fields.
This setting is enabled by default, and the setting also causes Field Collection Table to whack out (as described in this issue). At least, disabling this setting made things work just fine for me.

I don't know if the setting accidentally removes things that really should be there, or if Field Collection Table expects things to be in a place where they not always are. So I don't know if this is an issue for Field Collection or Field Collection Table.

I get two error logs when the table fails to add another item:

LOCATION	http://localhost:8888/130125/system/ajax
REFERRER	http://localhost:8888/130125/node/2/edit
MESSAGE	Notice: Undefined index: #bundle in field_collection_table_pre_render_field() (line 219 of /Users/falk/Sites/130125/sites/all/modules/field_collection_table/field_collection_table.module).

and

I hope this can help to shed some light on the issue.

(stupid double-post, sorry)

Thanks Itangalo,
Un-checking "Hide blank items" fixed things for me.

I think this may be a duplicate: #1815496: Using "Hide blank items" leads to misformed tables

Using field_collection_table-7.x-1.0-beta1 and field_collection-7.x-1.0-beta5: I copied field_collection_field_attach_form() into a miscellaneous module, and renamed it, and changed 'field_collection_embed' to 'field_collection_table'. This is as mentioned in the above issue, not clean, but by being in a seperate module it does avoid hacking field_collection_table for now.

We were already using a workaround for the addition of empty elements, so it actually turned out cleaner for us to leave it enabled and do this instead.

Thank you yogaf. I went to structure->content types->MYTYPE->manage fields->edit on MY_FIELD_COLLECTION and unchecked "Hide blank items" in the field settings at the bottom of the page. The misformatting and errors that occured when adding new rows to add content in field collection tables went away. You really made my day!

So then this is a Field Collection problem and not a Field Collection Table problem, right? Thanks to post #15 above for the tip I needed. I can confirm that unchecking "Hide blank items" resolves the problem-- but of course now I have an empty field collection row on my nodes forms. And why doesn't there seem to a be case for this in the Field Collection module issue queue?

Removing tag - it is not related to editable fields as I am not using it and have the problem.

I also confirm the bug. It is not related to editable fields.

I have the same issue without using editable fields. Problem seems only to appear if "Hide blank items" is enabled in field settings.

yenidem,

Would you mind horribly posting your css so we can use your fix? I tried recreating what you have and haven't had much luck with it.
