Title: Contacts an DB error
Post by: Dagmar on September 15, 2007, 16:29:48

Hello!

First of all - this is a great CMS! You guys of the developer-team did a really good job!
I'm new to Elxis (about 3 days) and now testing online this CMS, looking for all the possibilities.
One thing I would like to mention: I'm familiar with Joomla! 1.0.x for now about 1,5 years.

Ok - my problem: I would like to show a list of contacts on my test-site, but I only get a list of the categories, no chance to show up the contacts itself.

When trying to add a new category, I received this message:
 
DB function failed with error number 1146
Table 'db122198_19.elx_contacts' doesn't exist

I then had a look at myPHPAdmin, the database - and really, the mentioned table does not exist, the is only a table named elx_contact_details

And now the System-Information:

PHP built On:       Linux dgws32s12da.ispgateway.de 2.4.34.1-grsec #6 SMP Tue Feb 27 09:49:45 CET 2007 i686
Database Version:    mysql 4.1.22-standard-log (Version: 4.1.22)
PHP Version:    4.4.1
Web Server:    Apache/1.3 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.28 OpenSSL/0.9.8d AuthPG/1.3 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635
WebServer to PHP interface:    cgi
Version    Elxis 2006.4 Stable rev1080 [ Nestor ] 04-December-2006 23:08 GMT+2

My question:
Is there someone, who can show me a quick resolution on this problem - or do I have to reinstall the complete CMS?

Thanks in advance,
Dagmar

No, there is no such table #__contacts.
Contact categories are stored in the #__categories table under section "com_contact_details".

To create a new contacts category go to:
Elxis administration -> Main menu -> Components -> Contacts -> Contact categories.
After this, click "New".
Enter the category info and save it.

If Elxis produces errors then make sure if any file is missing.
No problem exist with this feature.

datahell - thanks for your quick answer!

the "problem" was, that I had linked to the component "contacts" itself - when I changed the menu-item and linked to "Table Contact-Category", I got the list of contacts I had looked for.

Once again - Elxis CMS is great!

Have a nice weekend,
