Not possible to manage fields after upgrading to drupal6.5

I have the same problem. There's no "add fields" tab. When I click on manage fields, it brings me to the edit screen.

Fixed for me - problem was I had enabled "Optimize JavaScript files" in performance. Once that was disabled everything worked great.

FYI - the "Add Fields" and "Add Groups" sections are now beneath the list of existing fields instead of in a separate tab.

I have no idea if the problem mentioned by thelocaltourist is the same as the original problem, because there is nowehere near enough information in the original problem to tell anything. Saying the it "no longer works" could mean anything. We need a very specific description of what you see that seems to be wrong.

There is no longer an 'Add fields' or 'Add groups tab', this is the new UI for creating fields and groups. See #320229: Add Fields not available as tab in Modify Fields.

Ok you are right. And i will do my best to in future posts be more explicit.

I don't think the issue in #2 is the same to the one that happen to me.

What happen to me was that after upgrading to drupal 6.5 and enabling all modules. The link to manage fields in every content type just do nothing litteraly nothing. I clicked it and clicked it, and it was like it was linking to administer >> content type.

Well i decided to make the upgrade again and now is fine. The manage fields button jumps to the page where is possible to add, edit and delete the fields.

The only thing that happen this time in the upgrade was that all fivestar fields were deleted. I think this issue is related to enabling content module before fivestar, at least i hope so...

Here i go to upgrade number 5. Wish me luck.

Fields for modules that have not been enabled won't show up on the Manage fields screen. They're not deleted, they just can't be used so they won't show up until the modules are enabled. CCK can't tell what to do with them until the module is available, so they just get set aside until that happens.

If you try the -dev version of CCK you'll see we also have added a message about inactive fields that makes it more clear. That change will be in the next release.

If that was your problem and things are now working, I think this is fixed.

I am actually having the same problem. There's no "add fields" tab under any of the content types. When I click on manage fields, it brings me to the edit screen as if it is ignoring the end of the URL ("/fields").

@2ndmile - First, did you do what I said and update to the -dev version?

Second, I said in several places above that there is no longer a 'Add fields' tab, so of course you can't find it.

Read #5 and try the -dev version. Just to be on the safe side, empty your cck folder before you update to be sure you don't have old files floating around in the wrong places.

Hi Karen,

Thanks for the help... but no joy.

Deleted rc10 folder and installed -dev version. No change.

Attached is a screen shot. Sorry that I said tabs. I did see that your post and the screen shot from the other thread.

Did you run update.php ?

oops, forgot... Thanks yched... that did it.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for two weeks with no activity.

Where do I find update.php is it a command i have to run on the server? Please can you give me the syntax to run the command?

Thanks

Morten

instead of index.php in your site's URL type update.php
