Ticket: Front-end form publisher_save_status not sticking

When using a channel form on the front-end I’ve included the three necessary inputs you mention…

<input type="hidden" name="lang_id" value="{publisher:current_language_id}" />
<input type="hidden" name="publisher_view_status" value="draft" />
<input type="hidden" name="publisher_save_status" value="draft" />

They are being saved with the published_status of ‘draft’ but when I look at all my entries on the front-end it shows as a publisher_status of ‘open’?  I’m using stash the grab a list of entries (though I only have one entry so it can’t be picking up another entry of mine…) but I tried outside of Stash and had the same result.  I’m guessing it’s something in my channel:entries call that I’ve missed.  Possibly this is where the {publisher:entry_status} should be used but I’m a little fuzzy on how that should implement?  Here is the stash block:

{exp:stash:set_list name="my-lessons" parse_tags="yes" limit="3"}
 {exp:channel:entries channel="lessons" author_id="CURRENT_USER" status="Draft|open" disable="pagination|category_fields" publisher_fields="y"}
  {stash:lesson_entry_id}{entry_id}{/stash:lesson_entry_id}
  {stash:lesson_title}{title}{/stash:lesson_title}
  {stash:lesson_url_title}{url_title}{/stash:lesson_url_title}
  {stash:lesson_status}{status}{/stash:lesson_status}
  {stash:lesson_published_status}{publisher_status}{/stash:lesson_published_status}
  {stash:lesson_track_views}{view_count_one}{/stash:lesson_track_views}
 {/exp:channel:entries}
{/exp:stash:set_list}

Ron, do you have a status group assigned to your channel? Sounds simple, but I’ve seen this happen numerous times. If no status group is assigned it does not set the status correctly.

#2

Ron Hickson

I do have a status group assigned that has the default ‘Open’ and ‘Closed’ along with ‘Draft’. Doing a little more digging and in the DB the status IS set correctly. But retrieving it always seems to return the default of ‘open’?

Did a little code looking and it looks like in publisher_entry.php the add_publisher_fields_to_results method (Line 1314) is adding the default status and not the individual entry publisher_status? Just a guess…I could have missed something in looking through the codebase.

So it’s not the saving, it’s the display of the entry after save that is the issue? That method is only called if you add the publisher_fields param to the entries tag I believe? Did you try it without that parameter?

#4

Ron Hickson

Yes it turns out that the display is the issue not the saving. I’ve tried it with the publisher_fields param (set to ‘y’) and got back ‘open’ as the publisher_status and without the publisher_fields param and got back the expected {publisher_status} unparsed tag. Here is a stripped template I’m using to get this (took out everything else).

{exp:channel:entries channel="lessons" status="Draft|open" publisher_fields="y"}
Entry: {entry_id}<br>
Pub Status: {publisher_status}<br>
{/exp:channel:entries}

New build emailed with possible fix.

#6

Ron Hickson

Thanks. That had an effect but not the desired one :( I’m getting an unparsed {publisher_status} for every entry now. Using publisher_fields=”y” in the channel entries tag.

#7

BoldMinded (Brian)

You using the cache? This is the tag I’m testing with and the variable is parsed:

{exp:channel:entries channel="pages" publisher_fields="y" dynamic="no" publisher_cache="no"}
    publisher_status: {publisher_status}
{/exp:channel:entries}
#8

Ron Hickson

I wasn’t but added it and still no go? I stripped my template and tag down to this:

{exp:channel:entries channel="lessons" publisher_fields="y" dynamic="no" publisher_cache="no"}
Entry: {entry_id}<br>
Lang: {publisher_lang_id}

Publisher Status: {publisher_status}

{/exp:channel:entries}

Lang ID and status neither parse but I added the has_translation tag and it did parse. Strange. Let me know what you need a look at to help with this.

And other than this I’m loving Publisher 😊
