Vertical tabs not showing after updating to Beta 6?

I've also have this issue.

There is no longer vertical tabs on the 'create/edit page' page or on one of my cck created content type. But there is on 'create/edit story' and for another cck created content type.

The options for which fieldsets are covered by vertical tabs is not longer on the 'edit content type' pages, where there are now vertical tabs.

The module is no longer creating vertical tabs where I want them, on the node/add and node/%/edit pages. And I have no options as to which fieldsets are contained in those.

I also experienced this problem. I solved it by deleting the content type and recreating it.

> I have no options as to which fieldsets are contained in those.

As it's stated on module page, you must use Form module to be able to control tabs.

I also have this problem... I first noticed that create/edit story no longer had the vertical tabs but for the page content type they were still there. In an effort to get it working again, I updated to the Dec 4th dev, but it just broke it further. The Dec7th/8th dev doesn't work for me either. Reverting back to beta5 works fine.

The beta6 only works with the old version of the Form module, From controller. I'll be releasing another beta today with bug fixes and optional integration with the form module.

Using the dev from yesterday and Form module and then Configure this form on the Create Story/Page I was able to get vertical tabs going again.

Thanks!

If it's so, shouldn't be Vertical Tabs made dependent on Form? I would help beginners.

No it shouldn't. Right now if you install vertical tabs you get the exact same result as you will with Drupal 7. Your node and content type forms are vertical tabbed by default. If you want to customize it you can edit your site's settings.php like I've explained in the root issue or enable the Form module.

It definitely was not default for me... that's how it worked in beta5 however. Once I installed beta6 and further devs, vertical tabbing was almost non-existant, but showed up in a couple places, but not the default content types of Page and Story. After I installed Form, I was able to select the vertical tabbing.

It was probably the upgrade path. If you hadn't selected any fieldsets to be tabified on your page and story node forms, it disabled vertical tabs for that form. If you start using beta6 (without using any previous versions), they work by default.

Vertical tabs missing on cck fieldgroups and no option to turn them back on :-/

Hmm, I see that the Form Module should not be used on production sites, so if yo want to use Vertical Tabs then you should only use it in a test environment?

Form module is experimental. You should test it first in a non-production environment, just like proper development practices with all new modules. If you don't experience any problems, you should use it on production to configure your vertical tabs how you like, then you can just disable it. The configuration exists in the actual vertical tabs module, so it persists even if the form module is disabled.

I added a CCK fieldgroup and with the latest code it seems to be working just fine. Maybe you need to help with #594992: Incompatability with CCK fieldsets and multigroups?

Thank you :-)

I will try what you said in #11.

Adding cck-fieldgroups is not an option when form module is installed and enabled using administration theme. I went Administer - Content - Content Types.

But, when clicking "configure this form" when adding a node using default theme (a custom made) cck fieldgroups shows up.

Tnx alot :-)

Would the maintainer accept a patch to reintroduce vertical tabs in Drupal 6 if I submitted one? My users and I have grown accustomed to them by now and it was a moment of panic and then I used the backup from before the update to reenable all tabs again.

instructions in #14 worked for me, thanks!
I have to say that this whole change does not make much sense to me, though. But strictly from a user's point of view, I am sure there must be really valid reasons for it that completely escape my comprehension.

I just updated my dev site from beta6 (which worked great having never installed the form module) to beta7. Once I upgraded, the vertical tabs were behaving as in #1.

After reading this thread I have installed the form module (and set permissions) but I have still have the same behavior. Vertical tabs only show in a few places and I have no options to set them up on my edit content type page.

Thoughts?

blaaarg ... I take it all back. Everything works fine. The key was in #5:

then Configure this form on the Create Story/Page

I was still looking for config on the "edit content type page"

Hi, I finally got the form working under edit content type (backend) section but the tabs are now completely missing from the CCK forms when a site user is using it (front end)...what should be done to get the tabs back?

Anyone have a copy of this module from before it was re-purposed? Im not installing the form module on production sites that were quite happy before the new changes. I figure ill just rename it so I dont get update warnings and just leave it as it was working perfectly before.

Cheers!

lol ... nevermind its in cvs

I'm testing this in my development environment, and I'm a little confused as to how to configure cck fieldgroups under the beta 7/form module combination. If I go to the add/edit page for my content type, I can see the configure form link, but when I click it, I'm not presented with any options. All I get is a title "Configure form ()" with save and cancel buttons. Am I looking in the right place? According to #5 and #18 above, that's where I should be seeing the configuration options, right?
