Content structure: Containers don't expand

Monday 14 January 2008 3:26:17 am

Hi,

I have the following situation:

eZ Publish 4
In the admin panels content structure tree view, I see the root node of the tree and the firts level children of it, but neither can I collapse / expand the root node, nor its children.

Until recently, I saw the +/- icons in front of the root node and the pre-defined container types like Folder and Frontpage, but no more now.

I'm not aware of any changes relating to the settings regarding this. I did create some new classes plus templates which I also use as first level contents objects, and these were not shown with +/- icon from the start. So I looked into the relevant template and found that
1) I don't completely understand it, and
2) if a node has children, it should be expandable.

Now, I do have children in these nodes which are shown in the "Sub items" section of the objects, I can access and edit these objects, but I'd really like them to be expandable in the contens structure tree.

Oh, and I did clear all the caches, but that didn't do any good.

Any hints?

Thanks in advance,

Arno

Thanks for the idea, but unfortunately no useful result... it only complains about an unknown css property.

But I noticed that your site's css has even more problems :-)

No, in this case I'm referring to the css used on ez.no, i.e. these forums :-)

Like this one:

Warnung: Fehler beim Verarbeiten des Wertes für Eigenschaft 'white-space'.  Deklaration ignoriert.
Quelldatei: http://ez.no/extension/ezno2005/design/ezno2005/stylesheets/classes.css

I guess if I had access to your designs I wouldn't have had to struggle through creating my pwn templates, etc ;-)

Arno,

Some things to try when debugging:

1. Turn on debug output for the admin site access (site.ini.append.php). Enabled TemplateDebug and ShowXHTML code. Enable ShowUsedTemplates (this will provide a list of used templates at the bottom of the page.)

http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_10/reference/configuration_files/site_ini/debugsettings
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_10/reference/configuration_files/site_ini/templatesettings

2. Then, view the source code. You should see what templates are being called at what point in the code. This will help you learn your way around a bit.

3. Review ini settings, specifically these (contentstructuremenu.ini):

http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_10/reference/configuration_files/contentstructuremenu_ini/treemenu/showclasses

4. A good source of ini documentation can be found in the comments in the default ini files in your installation (/settings/some_ini_file.ini).

5. TreeMenu stuff:

Good luck.

Did you resolved this bug ?
