cannot edit category

[Bob42]

I'm trying to edit one of my categories, but whenever I click on the edit icon, I am brought to a blank white page.  The strange thing is that this doesn't happen with any of the other categories.  Only this one here.  I've uploaded a bunch of pictures into this category already, so I don't want to have to delete it unless I truly have to.  All I want to do is add in a description into the category.  What can I do to get rid of that blank white page and be able to edit the category?

Post a link to your gallery for a start.

It's the Orange League category that I'm having problems with.

Make sure that you have no whitespace in your files. In fact, you should perform an upgrade (even though're on the most recent stable version cpg1.4.14), overwriting all files on your server as suggested in the documentation. Make sure to use the proper FTP mode and that your FTP is set up to overwrite existing files.

I performed a complete upgrade by overwriting the files.  versioncheck.php states that everything is okay, aside from the few folders that were left writable.  Still, I get the same thing.  When I click on the edit icon for one of the categories, a blank white page shows.

Send me a PM that contains a link to this thread and an admin account for you site please.

[Joachim Müller]

Hm, that's indeed strange. I had a look with the admin account you PMed me, and I can replicate your issue: there are some categories that trigger a blank screen, while others display as expected in the category manager. This is theme-independant. Could you take a dump of the categories table using phpMyAdmin and paste that into your next posting?

[Bob42]

Yes, here you go:

Probably caused by the category thumb selection box. There are a lot of files in albums within that category. Look for

Code Select Expand

form_alb_thumb();

in catmgr.php and comment it out:

Code Select Expand

//form_alb_thumb();
