Submitting Transition event overseas: An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator.

[sam]

Hi I'm using ​https://www.transitionnetwork.org/node/add/event

To create a Transition Training event in Belgium in the 'Limburg' region.

On submission I get the following error;

"An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator."

It works for UK events.

I had a look at the fields in the event content type, but couldn't spot any problems

[sam]

Naresh has asked me about this one again.

This might be relevant:
Changing country and then selecting a province returns error "An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator."

It seems this is also affecting the submission of new initiatives that are not in the UK.

Initial thoughts: Our custom module ​https://github.com/transitionnetwork/transition_extras might be causing this now that Location has changed, or it's a bug in Location... Or something else!

[sam]

I applied this patch ​https://drupal.org/files/issues/location.module_34.patch

To location.module on www.stg2.transitionnetwork.org and it has resolved the issue.

Shall I apply to live site? Any concerns?

Thanks

Sam

[jim]

Good work... Yes, add it to the live site if it's proven to fix it, and also the makefile for the location module section.

Document this issue in the makefile to its progress can be followed.

Reassigning to you, cheers!

Hi Jim

So I went to download the location module (So I could then patch it);

tn@puffin:~/static/transition-network-d6-p009/modules$ drush dl location
Install location /data/disk/tn/static/transition-network-d6-p009/sites/all/modules/contrib/location already exists. Do you want to overwrite it? (y/n):n

However ls doesn't show a 'location' directory in there;

tn@puffin:~/static/transition-network-d6-p009/modules$ ls
aggregator book cookie_cache_bypass help o_contrib php README.txt syslog tracker upload
block color dblog locale openid ping search system translation user
blog comment filter menu path poll simpletest taxonomy trigger
blogapi contact forum node path_alias_cache profile statistics throttle update

[sam]

Ah got it. Should be looking here;
tn@puffin:~/static/transition-network-d6-p009/sites/all/modules/contrib$ ls

[jim]

yes!

[sam]

Hi Jim. I patched it and had a go at updating the Make file. Please sanity check the make file changes!

Component changed to Drupal modules and settings.

[jim]

This is not complete unless the patch is either;

• A: not needed as it's in the commited module
• B: included in the makefile -- in which case please complete the pull request ​https://github.com/transitionnetwork/transitionnetwork.org-d6.profile/pull/1
• C: Done already - in which case please link to the commit that fixes it here in this ticket.

Reopening.

[ed]

Sam to follow up as discussed on 26/03. Obviously revolves around us doing code publishing, which Ed is asking Paul for help with, so stand by.

[sam]

Hi so I should add

projects[location][patch] [tn02] = ​https://drupal.org/files/issues/location.module_34.patch

To the makefile?

Thanks

Sam

[jim]

Hi Sam, yes... That will ensure the patch gets added next time...

Actually, the 'correct' line would be:
projects[location][patch][tn02] = ​http://drupal.org/files/issues/location.module_34.patch

The difference being a) no space in the array definition, b) no https -- I've had issues where the server can't see HTTPS stuff, but is fine with HTTP. Odd...
