Content Profile causes error in hierarchical_select_json()

I'm having the same issue when using Content Profile module to expose a partial node form on the user register page.

The issue is with the function hierarchical_select_json(), near L283:

$hs_form_build_id = $_POST['hs_form_build_id'];

$_POST['hs_form_build_id'] is not set in the $_POST array from this form, so the cached data doesn't get retrieved properly and everything else under it goes haywire.

I see that hs_form_build_id gets set from function hierarchical_select_after_build() in the first place. The case in which it does not get set would be when, around L671, both $_POST['hs_form_build_id'] is empty and count($names) returns false. It seems $names is a static variable both returned and reset by _hierarchical_select_store_name(). I did a quick ack and only found static $names; in one place, in _hierarchical_select_store_name().

Can anybody pick up from where I left off? I'm not sure where to go from here.

This may have fixed it. Could you please give the latest CVS version a try?

subscribe thx!

Tried the latest CVS as per #4 and the ZIP files suggested in #5. I still see the same error in Firebug:

<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Unsupported operand types in <b>/Users/rypalmer/Sites/kanalia/site/includes/common.inc</b> on line <b>2831</b><br />

I have the same problem, perfectly work when going to /node/add/profile and get the same error when I try to use HS in the same profile node-type embed in the registration form.

/subscribe

I have had the same problem with the HS and the node as profile. It has also shown up in Ubercart with one menu. All my other node types are working fine using the HS. I have found that it has degraded in the last version after users did some beta testing for me. The HS worked for a few entries and then stopped error "Received an invalid response from the server".

Firebug does also kick back:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch. This a GREAT item that would be the perfect solution.

drupal24 posted a comment in another issue concerning this issue. Basically, the patch for that issue (which was for D5) seems to solve the problem in this issue as well.

I've made it into a proper patch. drupal24 and others, please try this patch and I'll commit it :)

subscribe thx!

oops.... subscribe again!!

Please give the patch a try, foodbo :) See http://drupal.org/patch/apply.

Subscribing after finding the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ')' in C:\Users\Ari\Documents\work\Penta Services\AVEI\wwwroot\home\sites\all\modules\hierarchical_select\modules\hs_content_taxonomy.module on line 167

Basically this is the same problem found in #5. It seems we're talking about two different topics here.

This happened after upgrading to the last -dev (18 Aug).

Went to apply the patch in #12; didn't matched completely(using Eclipse's "Apply patch") against hierarchical_select-6.x-3.x-dev of 18 Aug.

The syntax error is still there. I'm also using Content Profile. This seems critical.

Apply the patch of #342992: Port HS support for Content Taxonomy to Drupal 6 first.

ok. Went there, did that... Now it's working.

Please, confirm that in the current state HS handles well two Taxonomy fields in one form. It doesn't work for me. The second field doesn't save the values. I recall seeing this somewhere but can't find it now. Thanks.

EDIT: Got it now (almost completelly) working using a combination of patches and commits. The CVS from Aug 18 doesn't work for me at all.

This is not specific to #12 it also applies to the logic in the current CVS:

   // Store the hs_form_build_id in a hidden value, so that it gets POSTed.
@@ -746,7 +747,7 @@ function hierarchical_select_after_build
   // the associated values from the cache. The _hierarchical_select_submit()
   // must be the first submit callback to ensure that it's executed: if a
   // submit callback before it performs a drupal_goto(), it won't be called!
-  $form_state['hs_form_build_id'] = $_POST['hs_form_build_id'];
+  $form_state['hs_form_build_id'] = $post_hs_form_build_id;
   $form['#submit'] = (is_array($form['#submit'])) ? $form['#submit'] : array();
   $form['#submit'] = array_merge(array('_hierarchical_select_submit'), $form['#submit']);
 

I think we should be using $hs_form_build_id instead of $post_hs_form_build_id.

I'm getting this same error and do not use content profile.
It started happening after upgrading to the dev version around the 18th.

I did run both patches in the order specified (I do have content_taxonomy).

Invalid response from server

As I was writing this post and trying to get the errors the system started to work

This is really weird. I've flushed the cache, ran drush refresh, etc. I was still getting this error, I went into firebug -> console to read out the errors, and started to click on the different terms dropdowns, and all of a sudden the queries started to take a long time. So I clicked results, and it displayed. After that, each time I ran it with console open, it started running slow. I closed console and reloaded the page. The HS ran fine.

I wonder if HS data that it processes is being stored in a weird fashion that doesn't get flushed. Or maybe there is a firebug addon that is an issue. I have firebug with drupalforfirebug, firebug cookie, firebug speedtest.

The one that has changed since is I installed the firebug episodes.

Something similar happened to me and I solved it by this way:

On the line 326 of hierarchical_select.module (function hierarchical_select_json()), there is this:

// Retrieve and process the form.
$form = call_user_func_array('drupal_retrieve_form', $storage['parameters']);


In drupal_retrieve_form, you have this:

$form = call_user_func_array(isset($callback) ? $callback : $form_id, $args);


Where $callback = 'node_form'.. but for some reason it wasn't included that function (stored in node.pages.inc).. and your form stays blank then drupal falls when hierarchical select calls drupal_render after that (common.inc, line 2845), so this is what I did in hierachical_selec.module (line 326), and it solved the problem:


// Retrieve and process the form.
module_load_include('inc', 'node', 'node.pages');
$form = call_user_func_array('drupal_retrieve_form', $storage['parameters']);


Maybe you could think this happened because I called the form with ajax, but the problem wasn't in the form generation, but in the hierarchical json callback. So maybe there should be a way for hierarchical select to decide when to include that misssing file..

dude, you are the bomb. heh.

was having same symptoms when trying to include the form in a block. worked ok if i was on /node/add page, but got this error elsewhere. adding #21 got it working...

thanks!

I took the time to build a site to test this. It worked out-of-the-box (without any patches) with HEAD. I'm using Taxonomy and not Content Taxonomy though.

I tested with both version 1.0 beta 4 and the latest code in the DRUPAL-6--1 branch.

Please update to the latest version of HS and possibly update Content Profile and report back.

I had the same problem as above (Invalid response from server) when ever I had more than 5 hierarchical taxonomy select fields on one page, now using 6.x-3.x-dev from 30/9/09 ans issue seems fixed!
Great work, really nice module!

Excellent :)
