Some issues in frontend editing

Hi, all runs REALLY well, amazing performance!
J 1.5.25
FC 1.5.6 1209

Heres some minor bugs I encountered in frontend editing:

- Categories are twisted. The main category is set to a subcategory, once edited and saved from the frontend.

- I have a user menu to create a new item. After clicking new, the item is created, but isn't opened for editing, instead I'm taken to the homepage.

- and another - If I create an item in the frontend, and change the title in the backend, the title never changes, until I change it in the frontend.

Cheers

This happens due to the wrong main category option selected in the frontend, when opened.
If I pick the right category and save it again it sticks.

I set to a subcategory ? Do you mean a wrong main category is saved?

You mean after clicking save the item is not display? in frontend after you click save the item normal view (not edit view) must be displayed

IT happen only with the title, or with other fields too? Could it be related to Joomfish and current language?

Is it a new site or an old that you updated?

Yes, the selected field for the main category is wrong, the subcategory is selected as main category, if you just hit save, its saved like that. If I select the right one again, its saved right.

Yes, I have to add, I saved it as draft, it saved and took me to the frontpage

Just on the title, but yes, could all be related to Joomfish, the item was in German and the frontend in English.
Its still strange with that item, I can change the title in the backend to whatever and it does not show in the frontend. I have to change the titel in the frontend to appear.

Its a new site, but I took the content from an old site without FC and went straight to 1.5.6

Its not published yet.

Currently FC does not support Loading and saving Joomfish translations in the frontend, but i will add this, since it mostly implemented.

Maybe, i will also make it user friendly, by only displaying title and description retrieved from joom!fish, and let now the user that he is currently editing the translation...

Anyway a more powerful feature is almost done:
"Translation Groups"

Already done:
-- each item has a master translation item,
-- items translations are grouped together in backend
-- automatic switching in frontend
-- Translate task with import from joomfish

Mostly done:
-- Translate task with automatic translation from google

To be done:
-- fields defined via a new parameter as untranslatable or translatable (custom fields ONLY).
-- hits retrieved and saved into master item

About wrongly selected main category in the frontend, i think i have found and fixed the bug, it is probably because your current joomla menu item is a
"New item submission" menu item, right?


In this case the default main category from the menu item was erroneously forced as main category of the item.

Does this mean that Joomfish is not longer needed for FC2/Joomla 2.5!!!

THIS WOULD BE GREAT!

Oh man, now its a real mess! I found out how it is and its not very nice.

Everytime an item's title or description is changed and saved in the frontend, title and description are saved in the Joomfish content table and the actual content is not displayed in the FC backend anymore then. Item, and backend language are the same. It is saved as a german translation for a german item.

All FC fields are fine in the backend, but title and description could only be changed in the frontend then, or in the Joomfish panel.

AND

I copied like 30 items from one language to another.
For like 10 or so of them all went fine, but for the rest, the type was not copied. All FC fields were empty and they were copied in the source language.

Now it stayed like that, anything I copy has the type "Article" and the language is not changed to the desired destination.

In the copy dialog, one language is missing now, it shows 2 out of 3 and the ones shown are different, for each item I want to copy, no matter what source language, sometimes it shows its source language as an option, but the desired destination is missing.
I haven't touched the languages at all.

I have no idea whats going on.

Hello, no, the items have no menu entry.
Also, for items with a menu entry, it does not happen I just noticed.

I have a New item submission" menu item at a different place in the menu.

mmm, we have an important issue with Joom!Fish and frontend item edit form, about backend it is strange that the fields were not copied properly.

Can you provide login info and tell me an item that was not copied properly?
