Can't Edit Home Page Properties Description: Message From Webpage

Permalink
Using Simplicity Theme, attempted to add text in the Description box for the Page Properties. When I hit SAVE,the error message box (attached as jpeg below) "Message From Webpage" appears. The rotating busy icon appears on the screen and never goes away. I have to abort the editing session to recover.

I then attempted to go through the Dashboard and edit the Page Properties for Home page, adding Meta Description, Page Type->Defaults for this page. When I accessed the Page Properties under Edit, a similar "Message From Webpage" appears and the busy icon remains on.

Why can't I add a Description to my Home Page? And, why does adding attributes to this page type also fail?

It get's worse. I've put aside trying to add Page Descriptions and Meta Data attributes, and went on to Edit Page Names.

Same result - "Message from Webpage" error, and endless busy icon.

I cannot seem to change Page Names, Descriptions or Attributes without running into this error.

Thank you so very much for the work-around, tecnolord. Under Concrete 5.5.1, none of the page properties can be editied using Internet Explorer (tried 8 & 9). Works AOK with Firefox.

Do you know if this has been reported as a bug? I couldn't find a reference to it in the Bug Tracking pages under development.

Hi,
good to see that it works for you too.
i don't know if it is reported as a bug. I didn't think of it directly as a bug, but more a silly feature of IE. :-/

The error seems to be because the search input on the Custom Attributes tab is in a sub-form, which breaks IE (all subsequent fields are ignored, breaking the server side processing of the form).

As a quick hack to 'fix' this for a client, I just commented out the search form - in concrete/elements/collection_metadata_fields.php line 25, replacing the entire "ccm-block-type-search-wrapper" div with this:

<div class="ccm-block-type-search-wrapper ">
    <!--form onsubmit="return ccmPageAttributeSearchFormCheckResults()">
    <div class="ccm-block-type-search">
    <?php echo $form->text('ccmSearchAttributeListField', array('tabindex' => 1, 'autocomplete' => 'off', 'style' => 'width: 155px'))?>
    </div>
    </form-->
    <input type="hidden" name="ccmSearchAttributeListField" id="ccmSearchAttributeListField" />
</div>


(the new hidden element is just so the javascript on the page doesn't complain, keeping the change to a minimum)

I have reported this as a bug (http://www.concrete5.org/index.php?cID=320049) so hopefully we will get a proper fix soon!

This seems to be fixed in 5.5.2.1
