Error while saving post

[minosk]

Hi!!

I have a problem. I made a new joomla 1.6.1 installation with a Phoca Guestbook 2.0.0 RC in order to test its new features.
I'm receiving the error message "Error while saving post" while posting to the guestbook.
At the beginning I thought it was a captcha problem, but the problem stil exists even after deactivating the captcha.

Can you please help me??
Thank you in advance for your help and your great work!!!!

PS1: About the new feature "Display Form: Display/Hide". I have tried to set it to Hide and it works fine. But if you give something wrong inside the form and the verification fails, then the form is automaticaly hidding, which makes all the error messages invisible to the user.
PS2: Please add some customization to the ReCaptcha (color or even internationalization!!)

Same problem here... I installed 2.0.0RC on a 1.6.0. When I try to post, I get

Message

* Error while saving post

Looking in the language file, this is the text for "COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_ERROR_SAVE_ITEM'"

Grepping around in the source, it seems this is called only in controllers/phocaguestbook.php, on line 516:

Code: Select all

503                         if ($model->store($post2)) {
504                                 // Send mail to admin or super admin or user
505 
506                                 if ((int)$tmpl['send_mail'] > 0) {
507                                         PhocaGuestbookControllerPhocaGuestbook::sendPhocaGuestbookMail((int)$tmpl['send_mail'], $post2, $uri->toString(), $tmpl);
508                                 }
509 
510                                 if ($post2['published'] == 0) {
511                                         $msg = JText::_( 'COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_SUCCESS_SAVE_ITEM' ). ". " .JText::_( 'COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_REVIEW_MESSAGE' );
512                                 } else {
513                                         $msg = JText::_( 'COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_SUCCESS_SAVE_ITEM' );
514                                 }
515                         } else {
516                                 $msg = JText::_( 'COM_PHOCAGUESTBOOK_ERROR_SAVE_ITEM' );
517                         }

So, maybe something in the Post2 array is wrong, or something in the store function in /models/guestbook.php?

I will keep investigating...

The problem was solved for me by re-enabling the title field in the settings. Apparently (big surprise here) your form must have all the fields that your guestbook model requires. And while the settings gives you the option of omitting the title field, I don't see any way to edit a guestbook such that the title field is not required. Hence the error.

Hope it helps someone.

Hi, this can be set in parameters:

- displayed and not required
- displayed and required
- not displayed (automatically not required)
