Sometimes Joomla is so Frustrating! - 2007/07/19 16:12 Well, this happens to me every once in a while. I do something really simple, and expect it to work, and it doesn't! It's so frustrating.

What I'm doing right now is I am unpublishing an item... but then I go to the category and the item is still listed! I click on it and it opens!

I tried unpublishing a different item under a different category and it works, it unpublishes fine! There is no difference between these items. I am so confused!!!

Thanks,

~jimmy.

Re:Sometimes Joomla is so Frustrating! - 2007/07/19 16:32 Add this to the confusion.. I just opened it up in IE and looked for the item and it was unpublished! But in Firefox it still is published. I emptied my cache and everything, so it shouldn't be that right?

If I move it out of that content category, then it is unpublished... but when I move it back to that category, it's there again! The admin panel says it's unpublished but it's listed right there!

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Am I overlooking something?

Re:Sometimes Joomla is so Frustrating! - 2007/07/19 17:46 Jimmy, I don't know if this is the issue, but are you logged into the site? Unpublished items will show if you are logged in as an administrator.

Re:Sometimes Joomla is so Frustrating! - 2007/07/19 18:02 You are a genius! that is totally it.

The only question I have in my mind now is: how come the items I unpublished under the other categories disappeared even though I was still logged in?

Re:Sometimes Joomla is so Frustrating! - 2007/07/19 19:09 It is linked to a entire content category? or are the content items linked by themselves?

Re:Sometimes Joomla is so Frustrating! - 2007/07/19 19:35 not sure what you mean.... let me just show you how it's organized

Section I

Category A
- Content Item A1
- Content Item A2

Category B
- Content Item B1
- Content Item B2

Category C
- Content Item C1

The bug I was describing earlier (where I unpublished it but it was still showing) was happening for content item C1... but was NOT happening for A1, A2, B1, or B2 when I tried unpublishing them!

Re:Sometimes Joomla is so Frustrating! - 2007/07/19 20:41 I figured it out. Under the Category parameter I have chosen "Unpublished Items" as "Hide" in Category A and B but "Show" in C.

Man, that was confusing!
