Errors when creating new biblio entry + Author field missing [#276607]

Hi Ron,

I just upgraded from beta6 to beta7, then to dev.

The first issue happens as soon as I select the entry type. Drupal returns four identical error lines:
warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/htdocs/main/includes/form.inc on line 1394.
See snapshot1.png

Besides the form does not allow to select any author type, the associated drop-down list actually being empty (see snapshot2.png)

With many thanks again for your work,

Robert

Did you run /update.php after installing the new version? There were a number of database changes between beta6 and beta7 which are implemented by update.php.

In general it's a good idea to run update.php after installing a new version of a module, it may not always be required, but sometimes it is.

I did.
I even completely uninstalled/reinstalled the module. During the update process through update.php, I noticed that the database changes were properly implemented with no error.
Do you want me to give another try, or to restart with a fresh installation of Drupal?

There seem to be a number of similar reports cropping up, so let me investigate a bit on this end first. The only other thing I would mention is that you cannot have two different versions (i.e. beta6 and beta7) in different directories under the Drupal tree, as they will both be found, but only one (the last one found) will be used.

Ron.

I believe this issue has been resolved in beta8

Yes, the issue has been solved. Thank you very much.

However, I had to export my entries, completely remove the module, reinstall it and import my entries for this new release to work and the error messages to disappear. Before doing that, I could not add new biblio entries, the drop-down author type list still being empty.

Lastly, it seems that the issue of empty drop-down list of author type remains if one adds a new entry type (say "Working Papers"), but only for this new entry type.
