Robin Sørlie	Wednesday 13 October 2004 6:59:03 am To get an edit link I use the following: {section show=$node.object.can_edit} <a href={concat("content/edit/",$node.object.id)\|ezurl}>[Edit]</a> {/section} When I enter this, I get the /content/edit and the right object ID. I can change the content in the forms as I do in adnin. But when I click "Send for publish" button, I get the following error: Den plasseringen ble ikke validert - Ingen hovednode er valgt, vennligst velg en hovednode. Translated into english this should be something like this: That placement was not validated. - No main node is chosen, please choose a main node. Now I'm stuck, and don't understand why this doesn't work.

Normally edit_placement.tpl would take care of this, but I guess you don't include that file.

Robin Sørlie	Wednesday 13 October 2004 8:04:01 am After my last message, I came to think of the edit_placement.tpl I use the standard edit.tpl as an override, and had commented out edit_placement and edit_right_menu cause the users don't need this to edit the content, and will only cause confusion. When I used the edit_placement, it worked, and also using your suggestion with an hidden form field. So this is great, thanks. But I now have a bigger problem. I tried to edit a few objects before, and got that error I described. On those objects the error still apperes, but not only at the frontend, but ALSO in admin! So I have no possibility to change this objects anymore. This has probably something to do with cache, but I have cleared all cahce through admin, but it's still the same. Any suggestion on this? Delete the /var/cache/ ?

Hi,

The object doesn't have a main placement. You can set this as a hidden variable. Normally edit_placement.tpl would take care of this, but I guess you don't include that file.

The solution is documented in the Bulding an Exponential site tutorial:
http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site/the_guestbook/the_input_template

Basicly what you have to do is add this to your edit template:

<input type="hidden" name="MainNodeID" value="{$main_node_id}" />
