Error: Unable to Add Category
I'm just getting set up and testing. When I try to add a Category, I get this error

Code:


Name (Invalid format)
What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks

Under "name", I entered the "category". And filled out the other info on down.

It won't give an invalid format for what you entered by deault so you've either edited the regex in the def file or accidentally entered a bogus character.

I'm not sure where to look to post the actual file you've referenced. I know I didn't use any "odd" characters, so it must be something in the file.

Which file is it?

Go to:

Database > Category/Properties

Then click the "Name" column. Scroll down to see the regex.

Hi,

Just wanted to update you on my progress. I went back to check the .cgi files and discovered the "full path" was not correct. Changed that to correct info and things smoothed out.Wink

I think I'm ready to "go live", except....when adding Categories, I discovered it will only accept "one-word" category titles. Is this correct? Can I change this?Unimpressed

Thanks for your help.

BTW, I love this message board.
