Admin interface not showing hidden nodes

We recently upgraded from 3.6 to 3.8 and our admin interface is not showing content that has not been published. I checked settings/siteaccess/admin/site.ini.append.php and I see:

[SiteAccessSettings]
RequireUserLogin=true
ShowHiddenNodes=true

I replicated these settings in a file called content.ini.append.php (which was not in the directory but I copied it from an public siteaccess in trying to troubleshoot the problem)

What other settings should I be looking at?

Thanks,

Seth

Hi Seth,

<i>admin interface is not showing content that has not been published</i>

What exactly do you mean? Are you writing about "drafts"?

[SiteAccessSettings]
RequireUserLogin=true
ShowHiddenNodes=true

Those settings are only in the site.ini(.append.php) not in the content.ini(.append.php)

Did you run all upgrade scripts?

Thanks for the reply. The issue is that if someone adds a piece of content and clicks "save draft" they get a message back saying that the content has been saved. However, when you try to look for the content object (either in the folder where it was placed or by search) you can't find it.

We did run all the upgrade scripts and they appeared to complete successfully. Those SiteAccessSettings settings were originally in site.ini.append.php. I repeated them in content.ini.append.php just in case.

Thanks,

Seth

Seth, this is expected behaviour. You can read more about "Store draft" button here:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/user_manual/3_8/the_administration_interface/the_object_edit_interface

As long as object was not published then you can't access it in the content tree. You can save draft using "Store and exit" button. Your saved drafts you can find in your My account tab.

Ahaa! That explains it. I was looking for the items in the sub-items list. Thanks!
