Visalia Toastmasters #1444338

Ever since the website upgrade I'm unable to create new agendas from our existing templates, or from a new template saved from an existing scheduled agenda.

I click on +Create new, choose an existing template (which has worked all year until now), set the date and start time and hit save. After I save the agenda and go to the "Meeting Agenda Items" page, there are no roles listed. And when I save the agenda it doesn't show up in the list of scheduled agendas.

I've tried creating new template and using old ones. I just can't get a new agenda saved.

Please click the reload link at the bottom of your site and try again. Let us know if you still have issues

Have tried reload link, CTL-F5, etc. Am logged in as site admin. It appears to create the template, and tells me I can now edit the items in the template... but there's nothing there to edit.

It says "New meeting agenda has been created. You can now modify the agenda items." but there's no items in the new agenda.

Have tried for days... ever since website was updated.

Make sure that you are logged in as admin only. If you are logged in as member and admin the agendas aren't saving correctly on all browsers at the moment (hopefully only a temporary issue).

What browser name and version are you using please?

BINGO! Logged out as myself and stayed in as admin, and it worked. Thank you so much!

In answer to Steve's question about the browser version, I'm using Firefox v34.0.

Thank you very much to all of you! Awesome service indeed!

Since I know which browser you are using, I will see if I can reproduce your issue. I get that you have a workaround now, but I want the issue solved.

Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce this issue.

If it's any help in tracking this down... I'm currently the President "Elect", but am still listed as "Other Officer" in our Membership Management.

Ok, well "Other Officer" will not get you any where for editing or creating agendas. Admin would, though.

Not sure how you were even able to get the edit or create buttons with "Other Officer".

Yes, so the fact that I'm "other officer" could be the issue. But I've never bothered logging out as my user name before the website upgrade... at least not that I recall. I've been our club "Webmaster" for the last year, and have never seen this issue before. I have always stayed logged in as myself and as Admin for convenience.

I'm not technically anything more than "other officer" until our swearing in on 12/16, after which I'll change my status to President and see if the problem still persists.

Because I'm logged in as site admin as well as logged in as Paul Laufer. (at the same time) - It has always worked before.

Ok, I see. That is a difference. On the test site I made myself the VPED... not the same test.

Steve,

If I try to do what Paul is doing on my own site, I cannot replicate it. If I log in as Paul on his site, I can. In both cases, I am using the Toastmasters Default (Detailed) template.

On my site, I am the admin and IPP. Made myself Other Officer, still cannot replicate. Took Paul's designation off, still same problem.

Added me to Paul's site, made myself other officer, logged in as admin and me, I can create the agenda.

I then logged in as Monica, and as Admin, I can create the agenda.

So, let me look deeper at Paul's profile on his site.

Paul, bear with us. We will track this down.

Thanks Roger. I have tried everything but headstands and I cannot replicate it. Pam seems to be able to... so there is something fishy going on here that we just cannot see yet.

Is there any error message on the save when the template does not come up? No one has mentioned anything about that.

I have replicated this issue logged in as Paul on 4 browsers: IE11, Chrome 39.0.2171.71 m, Firefox 34.0 and Opera 26.0

there are no error messages. Just no agenda items after saving when logged in as Paul and as admin.

The only thing I have not done is to remove Paul totally. I have removed his phone, email and tried, same results. Put them back in, same results.

Took out CC and CL from his name. Now it works.

Put them back in, now it doesn't.

At least we know what breaks it for Paul, just not the why.

Just testes in Safari from the iPad, same results.

So, I have logged in as Paul and as an admin and I have now been able to reproduce this.

This is some issue with the agenda server code... probably deep in the mess of that 4000+ lines of spaghetti code. I can see that the information being provided to the server code is accurate and I can see that the table contents coming back from the server is devoid of any table rows.

Roger's finding about the name is curious.

Honestly, I cannot promise you this will get fixed quickly. The agenda code is just such a mess (not my code) that I would probably spend a month trying to track down the cause of this, when I would prefer just to overhaul the code. I will see what I can do, but I just cannot make any promises.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Now that I know I can just log in as admin only, I've got no troubles. I can get past the roadblock and create new templates. It's something I only need to do about once per month anyway.

-sent from my iPhone.

Thank you for the information! I had this same problem and was very frustrated!! When I logged out as myself, and stayed logged in as the Site Admin, it worked fine - as was recommended.

I am also using Firefox. The difference is that I am the VPED so I should be able to create agendas. But I am VERY happy to learn about this work-around!

I believe that this is now fixed. This was a very old bug in the server code that I had not been able to figure out until now.

Confirm fixed for me. Thanks!
