4.5.0h Studio Problems

[SH_3mrt]

We have been running 4.0.1 for a while.

Set up 4.5.0h on a test server to evaluate if it solves some of our 4.0.1 problems. In fact, it seems to have more of it's own - or at least some basic things are preventing us getting very far.

For example, it looks great that we can edit the advanced search form. But in the Studio, I can neither add rows or move fields onto the page layout.

Step by step:

Studio -> Edit a Module -> Accounts -> Edit Layout

Choose Add Rows Button, get an "Any changes will be unsaved" warning ... and I'm sent to a view of the Accounts page with fields and labels showing, the Studio edit options along the top in red plus svae and history buttons... but no indication of how to actually add a row.

Try something different:

Studio -> Edit a Module -> Accounts -> Edit Layout

Let's try and add a custom field (alraedy set up) onto the page.

Click Edit View in red.

The custom field we want is listed on the left.

Click on it, nothing happens

Drag it onto the page layout and nothing appears on the page - but the entry for that field no longer has a box round it in the menu. I can drag and drop it up and down the listing on the side menu, but can't get it on the page.

This seems to be the same in IE and Firefox.

So wassup? Am I being stupid? I see other 4.5.0 studio problems listed here, but they seem to be duplicating probs rather than no-show probs. Is it worth persevering with this? Is 4.5.1 any better? Will Sugar ever be in a stable condition, or will it always be full of unfinished "features"?

Thanks for any light anyone can shed.

Hey Stewart,

If you upgraded please be sure to go to the Admin Screen to the Repair/Upgrade screen and click the Upgrade to Studio 4.50. We have changed from using <slot> tags to using <span> tags for indicating what slots are movable. Once this is done you should be able to drag and drop fields from the sidebar onto the main window.



The Any changes you have made change is a warning to indicate that you are going to another page and any changes you have made will not be saved. Press ok to continue and once you have upgraded it should work great.

If this doesn't fix the issue let me know and I'll look more into it.

Thanks,
Majed

Yes, that does restore all the missing functionality, including d 'n' d ing fields and adding rows etc.

Thanks for the pointer
