1.1 theme options not saved

tazilein · Post by **tazilein** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 12:50 am

On my personal blog (http://www.gallien.org) I tried to use the Freshy Theme, but all options that can be made to the template in the admin interface (thx to v1.1) are not saved when I click on the save button.

I tried an Andreas Theme and again my Blog says "Done - new settings saved" but in the admin interface the standard settings are again there and in the blog nothing has changed.

Where are these options saved ? Could it be a Problem with the rights on the files (775 currently ) ??

edit: I can change the theme itself without any problem. Only the special v1.1 options can not be saved

Hi!

Maybe your 1.1 upgrade failed somehow, can you check your serendipity_options DB table? This one should hold the configuration items; if the table does not exist, your 1.1 upgrade went wrong...

HTH,

Hello Garvin !

You are right. There is NO serendipity_options DB Table. How do I fix that ? Can I just reupload v1.1 and the installer will start again ?

Hi!

How did you perform the update?

Usually you can follow the steps in the www.s9y.org FAQ ("Help, my update failed") to force a re-upgrade. Or you can manually create that options table according the sql/db.sql file?

Best regards,
Garvin

Hello Garvin !

You are right, there is not serendipity options table in my DB. I edited the serendipity_config_local.inc.php and could perform another upgrade. It tells me that everythin is writeable and I can click on upgrade -> it tells me upgrade successful, but there is still no serendipity options table.

Hi!

To which version did you "backgrade"? Maybe the options table was not created on a previous upgrade you performed.

The options table was created from 1.1-alpha3 to 1.1-alpha4...

Best regards,
Garvin

I tried "1.0" and "0.9.1" - in both cases the table was not created.

Here is the Installationscreen that I see after I edited the serendipity_config_local.inc.php:

Hi!

Could it be you forgot to upload the "sql" subdirectory?

yeah. that was the problem. I made all that upgrade thing again after I uploaded the missing sql files, but still the table was not created. I exported the empty table from another s9y installtion and imported it into my database - now i have an options table and it works
