Hi,
I was having troubles editing the components on my web form. Once I created the form, I could not edit a particular component so I downloaded the latest version to be sure that's what I had installed. Then I used the update.php and now the tab for components is gone again.
I now remember I had to edit some code to get the form components tab to display, but I forget what that is now.

So I have gone from not being able to edit, to not being able to see (which is a step backwards I think).
I have this form, connected to a parsing script for a booking system and the inability to edit the components is a real drag.
Did I miss something in the steps or process? I have attached a screen shot so you can see my page.
Please help me with a sensible solution.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

I uninstalled and re-installed, still no components tab, and no ability to add/edit components. Screen shot I posted earlier is still a good demonstration of what I am seeing. Do you think it's a stylesheet issue or something else??? I could really benefit from some help.
Thanks

90% of the time this is a theme issue. Try switching to a clean Garland or Blue Marine instead of your custom theme (the secondary tabs might not be printing). Also, make sure that the "Webform Own Results" module isn't installed, as I've heard much murmuring about it mishandling the menus.

I'm running D6.6 and Webform 2.3 and have the same problem. Switched to Garland but didn't change anything. Really frustrating.

edit: I can access the components by adding /components at the end of the url when editing webform.

I had this exact problem and was able to see the secondary tabs after changing to the Garland theme. Which meant the issue was definitely with my custom theme. If the problem is theme based the following should provide a solution : Secondary local tasks are gone ($tabs2).

the /components definitely seems to work. I'll look at my theme and see if my tabs are as they should be as well. THANKS!

The problem for these requests is that the theme does not print out secondary tabs. See the thread posted by geekglue in #4.

Hi quicksketch,
Thanks for reply. I just update my webform module from 5.x.1.9 to 5.x-2.3. Now my problem is solved.

My experience as well in D6: /components works.

Switching to Garland made no difference (though perhaps I should have rebuild the menus).

I don't run TinyMCE but I do run BUedit -- and they have the same mechanism for disabling certain text fields. But turning off BUedit made no difference.

Status: Fixed » Closed (fixed)

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

I thought i had the same problem too, but it turned out i didn’t understand you have to hit save from the Create Webform page before the Edit tab will appear. I thought i could build my form before hitting save. Documentation might be clearer on this (and it might eliminate some of the bug reports).
