Advanced Search form: No option in the "Type" drop-down list.

Parasmoni

In the Advanced Search form, the drop-down list for object types is not working. It does not show any object type option. [see the attached image]. This is despite all object types are made accessible to public.

Hi,

Did you flush the cache files? (maybe...)

seth

Also, make sure all types are marked as accessible to public.

Parasmoni

I tried all these several times. But the drop-down list for object types is still dead in the advanced search.

darrigan

Check in ca_objects_advanced_search_objects_html.php if the code for this drop-down list is: {{{ca_objects.type_id}}}

Parasmoni

Yes, the code for the drop-down list is {{{ca_objects.type_id%height=30px}}}

darrigan

Try to remove %height=30px... And flush the cache. (I've no more idea...)

Parasmoni

I tried this but didn't work. But thank you darrigan for your consistent help.

In order to explore this, I made a fresh installation of CA in a different machine. In this fresh installation, the drop-down list is working perfectly.

I wonder if it is possible to replicate the configuration of this fresh and working instance of CA to my actual archival portal?

Hi Parasmoni, I never tried what you suggest...

Parasmoni

I found the solution, rather in an unexpected area. The visibility of the drop-down menu is found to be connected with the Access Control setting of the Providence. In my case, in the Access Roles settings for the Pawtucket, when I changed the Access status for not accessible to public category from Read access to No access, the drop-down menu came back in the Advanced Search page.

I have attached here a screen shot to explain what I mean.

Thank you darrigan, for patiently responding to all my queries.

Hi, Darrigan and Seth

I have the same problem for the drop-down list for the object types.

I have tried all the suggestions above but still not working.

I add additional field in the advanced search which also have the drop-down list and all not working.

While I see in the pawtucket demo, the drop-down list for the object types is working.

Do you already have solution on this? Thanks before!
