Global: Random provokes AJAX HTTP 500 error

A 500 error should be accompanied by an error in the watchdog or apache/php log. WIthout that error we cannot assist.

@ merlinofchaos: I too get an AJAX 500 error [attached as image] when trying to add or edit a field for the Fivestar module under the Content: Feedback Rating option. I did check my Watchdog entries & it appears the error was listed as: 'Missing text format: %format.'

I've raised this issue with the Fivestar mod developer as well but also thought to mention here in case you may have seen this before & know how to remedy.
Thanks.

At the risk of repeating myself:

A 500 error should be accompanied by an error in the watchdog or apache/php log. Without that error we cannot assist.

Emphasis added.

A missing text format is not a PHP error. A 500 error much more likely to be in your apache logs than in watchdog, usually.

@merlinofchaos: my apologies - I have since looked through all of my VPS log files to locate the error but couldn't find anything pertinent! I then looked in my Drupal 'Recent Log Messages' & noticed the filter error: 'Missing Text Format: E'.

I do now have a recollection, prior to receiving this error of opening a properties dialogue for 'some' feature within Views and noticing the entry of a 'E' in a Text Format properties box, which I thought at the time to be misplaced, but typically cannot now remember 'which' feature this belonged to in order to correct!

I apologies for the ridiculously ambiguous nature of this report & a appreciate this being a total long-shot, but thought you may possibly recognize where a Text Format of 'E' may be necessary? I have therefore changed the Issue category back to a support request as appears to be the result of my actions.

Do you think something as simple as this could be responsible for the Fivestar module to not now work correctly within in Views or could it be down the Fivestar module itself? I have tried uninstalling & re-installing both modules but nothing has changed.

Unfortunately that message is not familiar to me. You might try a grep on your system for the static portion (Text Format of) and see if it brings up a particular piece of code. That might help pinpoint where such a message might be coming from.

I fear it may actually be unrelated to your AJAX problems.
