Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/19353 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: node system Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: jjeff Updated by: Eric Scouten Status: active Can somebody please justify *why* this is "by design"? The existing behavior strikes me as almost the single most annoying thing about Drupal. I often hack it out of my site installations. Eric Scouten Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 23, 2005 - 18:34 : jjeff With 'preview post' set to 'optional' (in admin/node/configure), the node/add pages show a both 'preview' and 'submit' buttons at the bottom of the page (the correct behavior). But if your submitted page has an error (if for instance you forgot to add a Title), the 'submit' button goes away leaving only the 'preview' button. The submit button seems to get clobbered whenever the drupal_set_message() is called, but there may be more to it than this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 23, 2005 - 19:57 : moshe weitzman if your form submission has errors, then we remove the submit button until you fix those errors. please re-open this case with more detail if this does not resolve the issue ... by design. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 23, 2005 - 20:50 : jjeff Hi Moshe, That would be true if 'preview post' was not set to 'optional' (see above). However, because of this setting, 'submit' should always be available. Even if there was an error. The system shouldn't require a user to preview their post just because there was an error the first time they submitted. -Jeff
