When I create a brand new content type (for example "test"), and then create a brand new field (for example "test_f"), after pressing "Save field settings" at the bottom of the second page of the proccess to create a field:

  • I end up back at the first one with out having been given any message stating that the feild was created successfully or anything (not sure wither this is supposed to happen).
  • Also any options that I set on the second page (for example setting the field to be required) dont take effect (i.e. if I then try to create a node with that content type that field is not required (dont think its a problem with the required setting as same applies for other settings))
  • If from the first page of the field curation process, after having been taken back their (after pressing "Save field settings" on the second page) I press "Continue" I'm pressented with the second page again with out the settings that I set on it (I.E. settings do not seem to be saved)

Things I've tried:

  • Repeating the pocess above again and again with diffrernt settings field types and oder of my actions (i.e. setting the settings that I wanted after creating the field using thed configure link)
  • Disabling and then Uninstalling the CCK - Content module and then re-enabling it (in case it didn't install right)
  • Running Update.php
  • Updating from the rc10 version to the dev version (and running update.php)
  • Also whilst having this problem I've updated from drupal 6.5 to 6.6

Each of the items that I've listed above as having tried have not fixed the problem or made any difference to it.

Please can someone help - I've tried searching the issues already open for anything similar - this dosnt seem to make sense if the problem is such a low level problem in the functionality of cck then surly someone else must have experienced something similar

Definitely strange. I'm not seeing this, and, as you point out, such a critical behavior would have been reported many times by now, so this is most probably something specific to your setup.
Do you experience this for all field types ?
Can you make sure you *delete* the cck folder before uploading the new files (RC10 or -dev) ?

Other than that, it's possibly a conflict with some other module. You'd need to try disabling all non-core modules, leaving only content module and basic field modules (text, number, etc...)
Please backup your db before your investigations :-)

hi yched

Thanks for the reply

I do experience this problem with all field types
and when I tried the -dev version I did delete the old files as well

I'll give disabling other modules a try and report back.

Thanks again for your help.

The module that cased the problem was the "Block Submit" module. A module that blocks users from accidentally submitting a form twice useing jQuery.

I've created an Issue under the Block Submit module.

For the benifit of anyone else how experiences a similar problem http://drupal.org/node/326126

Hopefully the creators of this module will fix this issue - its a nice little module, but for now my soloution is to just disable it.
