Global settings and look and feel

Hi again everyone,

I have been using eZpublish 3 since version 3.0, and having now finished my last upgrade to 3.5.1 (which is really good by the way - love the new admin interface), I still have one lingering problem.

I was hoping this would be sorted in future upgrades, but it hasn't so far, so here goes:

Both the Global settings link (under Setup) which points to /content/edit/52

and the Look and Feel link (under Design) which points to /content/edit/54

point to kernel(3) onject unavailable.

I have had this problem as long as long as those links have been available (version 3.4 I believe). They have never pointed anywhere.

I have not noticed any errors during upgrades, but missing these features is really starting to annoy me. I've already searched my database for any content objects with the same characteristics as these (compared from a fresh install), to no avail. I don't seem to have these content objects at all.

Does anyone know how I can add them to my databases?

Thanks in advance,

Tim

I'm sure someone else can help more but try to copy the look and feel class and make its location in say the content navigation. If you get that done you will at least be able to use the new class by adding that type of item in the content area (like adding an Article). You could then place it in a non-standard Section to keep it from the wrong users. Not sure if you can do a similar thing with the Global settings form.

Thanks for the idea - I'll try that out

If anyone has any ideas about the global settings...

Cheers

Hello Tim,

you can copy the Global Ini Settings class from a fresh 3.5.1 installation or create it manually.

The next step ist create the Objekt. Put in a non-standard Section to keep it from the wrong users.
Now you should adjust the design/admin/templates/parts/setup/menu.tpl
Look at the second line with the Global Setting

The url /content/edit/xxxx should be fixed. xxx is the object id!
