Issues with TRACKER and CATEGORY field

posts: 3665 United States

OK... now I need help... ;-)

Using Tiki 6LTS, I have a tracker with a field of type=category.

On a wiki page, I'm using the TRACKER plugin to preset a form, which includes the category field as a checkbox selection.

When logged in as admin, everything works fine.

However, as anonymous, the value of the category checkbox is not saved (that is, when I review the submitted tracker/form later, as the admin, the field is blank — even though it is a "required" field and it was selected when the form was originally submitted).

Some sort of permissions issue, right? Well, I can't find it. I've given anonymous all the necessary (or so I thought) perms for creating trackers and adding items to the category.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

OK :-)

without actually seeing your setup hard to say but i would start with:

  1. checking if the object perms do not override category perms
  2. checking if the tracker is categorized and if the category perms do not override globals
  3. checking if the field's visibility/edit is not limited to a group

Thanks!

  1. The tracker has no individual permissions. Global permissions apply.
  2. The tracker is not categorized
  3. The two fields are not hidden


Anonymous group has the following permissions:

  • Can see the category in a listing (tiki_p_view_category)
  • Can add objects to the category (tiki_p_add_object)
  • Can create new items for trackers (tiki_p_create_tracker_items)


For Anonymous, all the other fields in the tracker are saved properly... just not these category types.
