1: Error While Creating Categories in the NEW CVS Release
Posted by amit singh on 12/21/00 06:50 AM
When i try to create categories in the new updates i downloaded from
sourceforge.net, i get an error like "can't read "QQcategory_type": no
such variable " Previously in 3.2.4 i was able to create categories
but not the latest fixes don't even allow to create them. I have
loaded a new datamodel from the CVS version. And also i don,t get any
errors in the watchdog.

Well, this is very strange.  I did the development work on one
machine, and after doing my commit, did an update on a second machine
to double-check that everything did get committed correctly.

Did you do a full, from-scratch installation of the CVS tree?

Which .tcl proc exactly is getting this error?

There is a variable insert into table QQcategory_type and changed it to category_type very thing started to function normally. I checked the categories and the table got inserted with the data. Now the category tree map also works. Thanks for th fix and help Don.

Which script had this problem?  QQcategory_type should be defined on
any page that calls set_the_usual_form_variables rather than
set_form_variables.  It is possible that I somehow didn't pick up a
previous change to one of the files.

Anyway, if you tell me which file you had to change, I'll make sure
that the CVS tree's correct.
