Hey guys,

I'm just running through the #2 tutorial (http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=tutorial:2-extending-a-basic-site) and have started to create some ArticlePages.

The problem I'm having is that when I go save the draft of a newly created ArticlePage, I get a big red "Error saving content" box down in the bottom right of the corner of the screen.

The draft *is* getting saved though - if I refresh the CMS 'My Site' view - the page that triggered the error is correctly listed as being in draft mode, and I can successfully publish from there.

So, not quite sure what's going on - I'm pretty sure I've followed the instructions accurately, here's my ArticlePage.php

<?php
/**
* Defines the ArticlePage page type
*/
class ArticlePage extends Page {

function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();

$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new CalendarDateField('Date'), 'Content');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextField('Author'), 'Content');

return $fields;
}

static $db = array(
'Date' => 'Date',
'Author' => 'Text'
);
static $has_one = array(
);
}

class ArticlePage_Controller extends Page_Controller {

}

?>

...and my ArticleHolder.php...

<?php
/**
* Defines the ArticleHolder page type
*/
class ArticleHolder extends Page {
static $db = array(
);
static $has_one = array(
);

static $allowed_children = array('ArticlePage');
}

class ArticleHolder_Controller extends Page_Controller {

}

?>

The .ss pages are likewise

Running Windows, using the out-of-the-box Windows installer version of SS.

Any ideas?

Try visiting db/build?flush=1, and then reloading the admin.

actually, the latter error, where pages were prompting for a Save, despite already having been saved and published, was fixed by running admin/publishall.

dio5: for some reason I left the 'RightContent' parameter out. Silly me. But you're right, it is the database name it's referring to. It should read new HtmlEditorField('RightContent', 'Right Content').

Cheers!
