Cannot get promote to article button to show

If this is in a web-accessible location, please submit a ticket so we can take a look. Shows up correctly for me locally.

Yep. Will do.

Request ID 750584

I can reproduce it.. just like the other people can in the topic http://community.inv...ote-to-article/

I am experiencing this issue as well.

same issue fresh install not an upgrade.

I made error copied and pasted something.

need to actuallly goto app then under promote settings choose groups that can.

Groups are set, associate is set but it still doesn't appear

If you've submitted a ticket, we will investigate.

If we find a bug, we'll come back and update the report.

I signed up for a new demo installation to check if there was some problem my end. The issue is still recurring even with the demo and appropriate settings at: http://a12804.demo.invisionpower.com/

That is a brand new demo, minus the button.

I have investigated this via a ticket (thank you to the ticket submitter) and found the cause of this issue.

IP.Content is registering the hook for post.has_blog, however the hook code itself is attempting to modify getTemplate('topic')->functionData['topicViewTemplate'][0]['post_data']

Now, the reason this works fine for me locally is because I have an old Blog hook associated with skin_topic.topicViewTemplate, so the funcData array gets setup properly. However, without this hook installed, this check in the skin cache fails:

if( IPSLib::locationHasHooks( 'skin_topic', $this->_funcHooks['topicViewTemplate'] ) )

And subsequently, the funcData array is not correctly populated.

I'm having this issue, so may I open a support ticket?

Yes, is there some kind of makeshift patch we can use for the meanwhile?

No, even if you open a ticket the issue is still confirmed and not marked as fixed so there is no fix available right now.

We'll fix it for 2.2.1 most likely.

This quite annoying, I was very happy with this feature and now I guess I'll have to post from the Article page instead of the forum instead.

Definitely looking forward to a fix! Thanks for the follow up by the IPS Staff though!

Oh boy =( i have the same issue

Actually, scrap what I said, it's a big issue: we were planning to promote some member's threads into articles, but now can't do it at all since the only possible way it to start right away from an article instead of a topic.

This bug is vexing to us.

What the latest on this?

Have the same problem annoying an understatement!

9 days to fix? and counting we pay for this so get your finger out

Ged:
Andy has already mentioned that this is a confirmed bug, and the fix will be released in the next version of IP.Content.

Oh that helps would not call it a bug more a major oversight as a s key feature of IP content is the ability to promote forum content to articles oh well it was.

Time frame for this release?

Sorry to be a pain on this too, but I was really counting on this feature, and this is really problematic. Could we have a schedule for this update?

Thank you again for the continuous support.

We will fix this as soon as possible. We have an extremely heavy ticket load, and we have many other bugs reported in many other projects (including IP.Board). We are not sitting around doing nothing.

The bug is confirmed. It will be fixed. When it's fixed, I will likely post the patch here.

Import this file into the Manage Hooks page and let me know if it resolves the problem. It's fixed locally now.
