Unable to publish items I got used a submission form

Hello

the proper behavior instead of this exception is to redirect back to the item with a message:

"You have not selected item's category"

will make fix for the redirection


in short the above is normal if category was not selected



the real problem is:
how did you submit the backend form without selecting category ?

-- the Javascript validation should stop you from submitting the form without selecting category

-- do you have a custom backend Joomla template ?
(it could be the cause of the JS error)


if you select category in backend and submit then you do not get the error message, correct ?

I think the category is selected since it's listed on the form.

Yes. I use Shape5.com template. Is there any way to check if this cause the problem?

Hello

so you have a custom Backend template

can you temporarily switch to one of Joomla default templates? and test ?

Sorry, but I've decided to use another form for my story's submission since this form is too complicated for the users.

If you need to test this for other users than I can try to help and set a temporary page with the default Joomla template.

Hello

FLEXIcontent is more than a "form" component, it is tied to Joomla articles content and extends it,

it comes with very powerful features, workflow, notifications, powerful fields (some are small applications), FACETED search / filtering, templating, item list markups, multiple/featured category

and many others

if you don't need these features then you may use a simpler "form" component,

making an even simpler and strip-down form, is on the works

Regards

Indead, much more than just a form.
Thanks
