Thread: Can not type topic name when adding new topic

I am trying to add new topic. I cannot type topic name, I have searched inside Forums. Someone mentioned change method "btnAdd_click()" in "topics.aspx.cs", I cannot find this file. I use ML9. Thanks in Advance!!!

Do you mean you can type it but it does not save?

No, I cannot type topic name, the topic name textbox is gray, I can not type anything.

I've seen this from time to time and it SEEMS to happen when you go to Add a new topic after you've been editing an existing one.

You might just try clicking on the Content | Manage Topics link in the menu to reload the page clean and then add the new topic. You may find it will work.

And no, I haven't been motivated enough to submit this a bug fix. Bad Mike...

Thanks MIG, I figured out. It is simple. Just "Reset Cache". Then I can type topic name.

We also experience this same problem also. And the other bugs we found on the topics edit page in backend admin is this: it won't save data for Search Engine Title, Search Search Engine description, Search Engine keywords when you edit an existing topic. And if there were existing data there from before, it'll wipe that clear and null it out.

BTW, the fix for the Topic Name field being greyed out is a quick fix.

Locate topic.aspx.cs under the Admin folder and comment out line 319:
//ltName.Enable = false;

That'll solve it. There's no reason to disable the topic Name when editing since the update lookup is being done by topicID
