HELP: Cannot add TextField type fields

[shakergeek]

Hello all,

I'm completely new to SCRM Community Edition and having a frustrating time adding new fields. Seems I can add new fields (to Contacts in this case) as long as it's not the TextField type.

When I try to add a field, I get and undefined error in the header and nothing happens. The add new field tab simply sits there.

If I change the Field Type to anything other that TextField it works as advertised.

I tried a repair of the DB and other repair tasks, the file permissions are 777 across the board.

SCRM was installed via Softaculous. Even tried a fresh install to a new directory still having the same problem.

I'm using the latest versions of Safari and FF.

Any thought on where the problem may be?

Thanks

There are some problems with the newest Firefox releases (maybe with Safari it's the same). This could be responsible for that problem. The new releases of FF and IE are not fully supported up to now (is announced for next sugar release; for actual supported releases see here: Supported Platform Components for Sugar 6.2.x | Open Source Business & Social CRM - SugarCRM).
In my case I use Google Chrome now and that helped a lot.

If you are able to create fields of any other types, as workaround to this mudule builder/studio issue could be:
1. create a file named: /custom/Extansion/modules/Contacts/EXT/vardefs/field_name.php
2. Into this file add this code:

 <?php
$dictionary["Contact"]["fields"]["field_name"]["type"]="varchar";
?>  

3. Save the file ans gave the correct access rights to it.
4. Run repair/rebuild.

Now when this field is placed in edit/quickcreate views it will be renderized as a text field evem if created on studio as a diferent type.

Thanks, but that didn't work.
