Hi, I have had a look at a lot of answers here, but can't figure out what is wrong. I am stuck trying to get the date to save to the database. It just hangs and then comes back with an error message. I can save the date into the database directly, but if I try to refresh the page it hangs again. I have followed the tutorial pretty closely (and restarted on several occasions) so it must be another setting somewhere. Can someone please help me troubleshoot this problem. Going slightly insane!

could you give us the exact errormessage?

Hi there! I receive this error "java parse error" and sometimes it just hangs and returns no error (depending on what I have changed or tried to do)...

If the field is text based then it works fine.

I have added the Image Gallery module which has dates stored in the DB and have not had a problem with them.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated :)

If you have Firebug installed (or Web Inspector for Chrome / Safari) you can see the *actual* error SilverStripe returns. In firebug this is under the console tab, in Web Inspector under resources -> XHR. That error message will be useful!

Hi again! I loaded Firebug and get the following error messages:

Hopefully this sheds some light on the problem!

Everything else going fine except for this little (very annoying) problem.

Thanks again! Hilda

Sadly, those are unrelated to the issue at hand. What you'll need to do is open the console tab, save the page and it should popup a new line with the XHR request which will go red once it fails.

Actually, on further investigation, I have come up with this error message which seems more relevant to the problem...
