can't create a new document from the admin panel

[joonasp]

Creating a new document at http://finnish-democracyos.herokuapp.com/admin/laws/create does not work. It says "Laki luotu" (law created), but there the new document does not appear on the list (http://finnish-democracyos.herokuapp.com/admin/laws).

[jaakkokorhonen]

I could not create a new document either. @gvilarino we have a dress rehearsal of the pilot TODAY. If the rehearsal fails, the pilot will be on very thin ice. Please supply instructions, a workaround, or a solution IMMEDIATELY.

@jaakkokorhonen , @joonasp did you publish the laws you created? I'm not seeing them in the admin list at all.

This is working for me; I just created a new law, published it and it was showing on the list, as can be seen here:

(it's no longer there; I deleted it since it was just a test)

[jaakkokorhonen]

I have buttons for "add condition"-lisää tila, "add link"-lisää linkki and "save"-tallenna.

[jaakkokorhonen]

After i save, it says "laki tallennettu"-law saved, but the created article is not to be seen.

[gvilarino]

@jaakkokorhonen yes, after that you gotta publish the law. The publish option is on the page top, you gotta scroll all the way up (yea, UX for the admin isn't the greatest, sorry)

You should see something like this:

Once you click there, you should see this:

If, for some reason, this option doesn't show just go back to the law list and re-enter the newly created law; you should see it there now.

[gvilarino]

@jaakkokorhonen @joonasp I'm leaving that Test law created and unpublished so you guys can use for the pilot and publish it without further issues.

[jaakkokorhonen]

I cannot see my saved law in the list.

[gvilarino]

@jaakkokorhonen did you get a confirmation message of the law being saved properly (on the top of the form)?

[jaakkokorhonen]

Yes. Same as @joonasp.

[gvilarino]

That's very weird. I'm doing that same thing and it works.

I just found something that may be a possible cause: if you're trying to create with the same Official ID (first field on the form) that was used on a now deleted law, the creation fails silently. Just try something else there.

[jaakkokorhonen]

I added nonsense to the "Virallinen ID" and the article appeared in the list.

[jaakkokorhonen]

Please document or fix this.

[gvilarino]

Ok, documented and bug reported; for the pilot's sake I'd say move forward keeping in mind not to re-use official IDs.

[joonasp]

I did not know that the "official document id" was a required field. Now
that I added some nonsense in the field it works. For the pilot (that has
nothing to do with official documents or their id's) we will just insert a
date or something as an id as a work around. j
