Hi,

In my website when i'm trying to create a taxonomy term. I've researched for the error everywhere, i've updated drupal core and nothing happened. The taxonomy still shows though and i can add terms inside.

I really don't know what is going on and i could use your help!

FieldException: Attempt to create an instance of a field field_admin that doesn't exist or is currently inactive. in field_create_instance() (line 476 of /var/www/projects/<site>/modules/field/field.crud.inc). Backtrace:

Thank you in advance !

It sounds like at one time the newsletter vocabulary had a field attached to it with the machine name "field_admin," but at some point it was removed. It's possible that you removed it or it was removed by an update to the Newsletter module. Maybe the field was supposed to be added by an update, but wasn't. I wouldn't know. I'm not familiar with Newsletter.

Anyway, newsletter_taxonomy_vocabulary_insert() is expecting field_admin to exist, but it doesn't. That's the reason for the exception being thrown. Update Newsletter if you haven't recently. You may have to uninstall and reinstall Newsletter in order to get this field to install properly.

You'll be better off asking for support in Newsletter's issue queue. They should be able to diagnose the problem more accurately than I can. When you do (or if my suggestions fix your problem) then please reply here and set the issue status to Fixed.

I had a hell of a time with this too, but couldn't fix it via any normal means...

The solution that worked for me was to create the necessary field before creating the taxonomy:

    $field = array(
        'field_name' => 'field_'.$taxonomy_machine_name,
        'type' => 'text',
        'label' => 'Label'
    );
    field_create_field($field);
