Hi,
finally I've decided it's time to move from J3 to J4. When it came to Seblod, it went exactly as bad as I thought. My J3 site is pretty complex - over 15 content types, over 50.000 articles, so if one thing doesn't work as it should, it turns into a disaster finally. Anyway - I did everything by the book and it looked like Seblod after the conversion is working out of the box. Then I tried to modify any of my content types with the same effect - the annoying message:
'Save failed with the following error:'
That's it, no other information, my error log also shows nothing. Better yet - when I try to switch between Admin form, Site form etc. - I instantly get the error 'Oops! Try to close the page & re-open it properly.' So I've started to click like maniac in configuration legacy options and after I tried all the combinations, I had to raise a white flag.
Then - frustrated - I decided to change 'name' (let's say from 'test' to 'testx') of one content type directly in database and then make a copy of the content type with the original name ('test'). And guess what - it bloody works. I have no idea why and what causes the errors in original content types, but the recreated versions seem to work as it should have from the start.
I regularly visit this forum just to check what's the scale of Seblod 4 buggyness in the latest version. Unfortunately one thing haven't changed for months (years?) - the complete lack of real feedback on this forum. Users report very serious problems and guess what - no response from Seblod team. I confess - I tried to get rid of Seblod, I really did! But there is no other way to make Joomla have multiple content types with total freedom of what, how and where I want to create/view my content, with Joomla native content/navigation integration on top. The only other component that can be considered is Flexicontent, but when I started digging deeper I quickly understood it's absolutely no match for Seblod and a total waste of time really.
Anyway, I hope my workaround helps somebody one day. And I hope it's the end of Seblod's unpleasant surprises, but my experience says otherwise.
Cheers
Olek
PS. I've investigated why I can't switch between tabs in content type settings. Maybe this will help:
