Weird CMSB Problem

I have a website that has been powered by CMSB for 3 years. The version is 2.04
Recently, the webmaster was having a problem when he was updatiing a single record table, specifically the wysiwyg fields. He couldn't update, and contacted me. Upon investigation, I found that he was cutting & pasting from Word and was not stripping the Word markup.
I cleaned up the record with phpMyAdmin, but was still having problems in that the data would not display in CMSB. I therefore upgraded to v2.11 of CMSB, but the problem is still there. I cannot view the data in CMSB, but the record exists in the db.
Any ideas??

Hi Ragi,
I'd look at the HTML in the WYSIWYG editor and see if there's anything weird there. (paste it in a new php doc in your web editor and see what you can find.)
If there's not too much formatting, you could also just copy the text to a text editor (to get rid of any badly formatted data), erase all the WYSIWYG data, save the record, paste the text and reformat, save again and see if that fixes it.
Good luck,
Jerry Kornbluth

Re: [gkornbluth] Weird CMSB Problem
Gerry: did that. Removed all the code, and no difference.

Re: [northernpenguin] Weird CMSB Problem
If you create a new record do you have the same issue?

Re: [gkornbluth] Weird CMSB Problem
Gerry: Yup! I blasted the record away with phpMyAdmin, went into CMSB, added some minor data in the textfields only. Result: same thing - I can see the data in phpMyAdmin, but not in CMSB.
Ok, time for drastic measures. I'm going to completely delete the section editor and re-create it with a different name.

Clear the cache between changes
Try re-unzipping and re-uploading the CMSB files including the .htaccess file first
Create a test editor before you start deleting

Re: [gkornbluth] Weird CMSB Problem
Well, I blew away the section editor and re-created it. Seems to be working so far!
