Problem with the News Submition Program?


Recommended Posts

I just went to submit a story in the Main News section and when I clicked preview all my information got erased and all it says is 0. Here I attached a Screenshot.

I've encountered this quite a few times. It's the link to the full article (or any links with odd characters in it). There are sometimes a combination of characters that the PHP submission page just doesn't know how to handle, so it just puts "0". There really isn't a way around it unless you can find the same article at another site with a URL the submission file can accept or put a link to the main site itself.

The only fix is for someone who knows PHP to go in and tweak the code to handle the weird characters that sometimes show up in URLs. Perhaps one of our Coderators can check it out?

Oh yeah... ALWAYS select your entire story and copy it to the clipboard before hitting Preview. This way if you lose it to "0", you can go back and paste the story again the way you formatted it the first time. :yes:
