Unable to configure article classes in 4.0.10

Hi all,

Okay I’m stumped. I’m setting up a new install of RT4. My “proof of concept” install on a dev box was 4.0.6, but 4.0.10 was out by the time I got to setting up the “production” install, so that one is 4.0.10. The database for the 4.0.10 production system was seeded with a dump from the 4.0.6 dev box.

When we create a new article class, none of the configuration options appear on the right hand side of /Admin/Articles/Classes/Modify.html. So, we can’t make the new class apply to a queue. However, for the class that I created on the 4.0.6 system (I then copied over the database to the “prod” install), the config options appear normally.

All of the users who are attempting to set up the classes have SuperUser privs.

Am I just missing something obvious, or did I trip on a bug in 4.0.10? Or, is there somewhere I can be looking to figure out what’s going on? I can’t see any differences in the databases that would be an obvious source of the differential behavior, and a debug log doesn’t spit out anything telling that I can see.

Any insight would be appreciated, including RTFM directives with helpful pointers to the correct FM, if I simply failed to find the right clue that’s out there somewhere.

Thanks!

I’m not aware of a bug in 4.0.10 around this and in fact it works fine
for me on newly created Classes.

What’s in your logs.

What arguments are being passed to Modify.html in the URL on pages
where the links don’t show up vs those where they do.

I ended up copying the code for 4.0.6 from my dev box to the prod install,
and things work as you expect. If I switch it to 4.0.10, the config menus
disappear again.

So there’s definitely something about 4.0.10 in my prod environment. For
now, we go forward on 4.0.6 and as time permits I’ll play and see what I
can figure out.
