1.7 - With editing on course disappears

I'm attempting to test 1.7.  I have installed the latest Moodle for Windows version today: 2006101000

When I go to a course and turn editing on, the course disappears--only the header and footer are visible.  What the heck am I doing wrong?  I thought maybe it was an admin/role problem, so I created a user and made them a course creator, but the same happens. 

Any ideas?

As a footnote--one thing I did notice was that my test course creator was listed under the course description as Course Creator.  It doesn't seem to me that that role should appear there--only the teacher's name(s) should be listed.

Thanks

What's the bug number? wink

The problem is probably to do with AJAX ... you can switch AJAX off in your user profile.

Yes, that was it.  I'll go ahead and enter it in the tracker as an issue.

Are you using the very latest CVS version?

Here are the known AJAX issues being worked on.

I've added this to the tracker http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-7060

Ian, did you turn off AJAX in your profile?

Thanks for adding this to the tracker. The AJAX stuff for the course editing view has been changing a lot lately. Could you test the latest 1.7 code from CVS to see if the problem is still reproducible?

Hi Ian,
If you would like to start using the latest CVS version it is quite easy to do. http://docs.moodle.org/en/CVS_for_Administrators includes directions for setting up cvs updates on windows including how to set up (the free and very easy to use) Tortoise.cvs. It is really a good way to go.

I have this problem but only in IE6. In Firefox something different happens - there is no blank page but wierdly dragging and dropping of blocks doesn't work in the right-hand column, but works fine in the left!

This is in version 2006101000 and 2006101001 as well.

I also have this problem with Moodle 1.7.1+ on a Linux hosted server.  AJAX is turned off by default on all our user accounts so it's not that. Any ideas?  We've just updated v 1.5.4 to 1.7.1 - could it be something to do with that?
