Unable to load requested field type file: ft.rel.php.

2013-04-30T10:12:03Z

Good Afternoon.

Im very very very new to EE/Cartthrob, so please bare with me if I ask some silly questions.

I have just installed EE2, it worked straight away, I had a little play with a home page and accessing channel information.

I then installed Cartthrob, there was an issue with an internal server error, but it appears ok. I have activated the Cartthrob example store but now all I get on the home page is the following msg

Error

Unable to load requested field type file: ft.rel.php.

Confirm the fieldtype file is located in the expressionengine/third_party/ directory

I spoke to cartthrob and they say this is an EE issue. Has anyone come across this problem or can suggest a course of action to remedy it?

I have not been able to find ‘ft.rel.php’ in the files.

Template Editor will close on Submit, not save changes

2013-05-24T20:03:55Z

Randomly I will be working on a template in the Template Editor and when I select Submit to update my changes, the browser will redirect me to the Template Manager and my changes are discarded. I can use the browser’s Back button to grab my code but in order to get the template updated I need to navigate back to the Template Manager home, open the template, paste in my code, and then save for it to be updated.
I am not using Template files saved locally on my web server.

Is this a bug or just an annoyance that has somehow plagued just me?

This is EE Core 2.6.1

Weird issue with links in entry textarea fields

2013-05-24T19:59:44Z

I’ve noticed a strange issue where my HTML content in a Rich Textarea field will randomly remove text (particularly spaces) surrounding my anchor tags. It only happens when I open the entry for editing but will change the text before my eyes.
Code like this:


This is a <a href="#">linka> to somwhere.

will turn into this:


This is a<a href="#">linka>to somwhere.

as soon as I click Save / “Submit”.

Anyone else notice this?

This is an install of EE Core 2.6.1 with just over 100 total entries.

Basic Navbar template for Expressionengine

2013-05-24T14:34:30Z

I’m not clear on how to implement site navigation. I’ve chunked the site up into templates including a navbar template. when I put tags into the navbar template, how do I set it up to load the correct page content when the link is clicked?

What’s the most basic, simple method of doing this easily?

Cheers

Incorrect email returned from template

2013-05-13T21:24:01Z

Hi,

I’m trying to use {email} tag inside {exp:comment:entries sort=“desc” entry_id=”{entry_id}”} in my template. This is supposed to return commenter’s email address, as per http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/comment/index.html#email

Instead of that email of the author of the blog post is always returned. What’s the likely cause of that?

I’m on EE v2.5.5. Thanks

Safecracker EE 2.6 dynamic title

2013-05-24T15:04:01Z

Seems to be a bug in safecracker in EE 2.6. I see it’s been moved to the first party module area and it seems dynamic title is not picked up in the processing. At line 1441 in safecracker_lib.php it checks the POST for dynamic_title but it’s no longer located there and actually embedded in the meta post variable. I adjusted the line to check for dyanmic title at $this->_meta[‘dynamic_title’] and it seems to be working now.

upcoming events

2013-05-24T14:39:03Z

Hi Guys,
I would like to display upcoming events say “events next week”. The date range would be current-time to current-time+7days. Lets says start_date is the date channel field that holds the date value.How would i represent that with a channel:entries tag

{exp:channel:entries channel="events" orderby="start_date" limit="5"}
{title}
{/exp:channel:entries}

...how would I amend this to achieve showing the 5 next events in the coming week 

Thanks

{exp:channel:entries} progressive loading with AJAX

2013-05-24T10:47:32Z

Hello, the number of entries on the website is increasing so I would like to introduce a “Load more…” kind of button to have the user load them in batches.

How does that work with the {exp:channel:entries} tag?

Thanks!

MySQL Data - Membership Spam

2013-05-24T13:45:56Z

I am unable to update from v1 to v2.6.1 and I think it is caused by the over 102,021 membership files.

Get “Message: unserialize(): Error at offset 0 of 12 bytes” during the update, see my post here http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/235575/

I need to Export some data out - flatten the data and import back in the data I need to keep.

These data tables are from 1.6.8

exp_member_data
exp_member_homepage
exp_members

Each have 102,021

What other tables do I need to clear to remove all associations?

I don’t think I can update until I clean out the spam.

Member group permissions keep getting reset

2013-05-23T10:13:49Z

We have channel that we allow guests to post to via Safecracker - all works fine. However it would appear that every so often the permissions to post to the channel get reset to “NO” via the CMS, though we have not been anywhere near these options in the admin panel.

It looks like a wee bug in EE and I was wondering if anyone else had ever experienced this and if so - are there any fixes please?

Many thanks

Jonathan
