I have searched and searched to answer this on my own but I am at a loss with attributes so please excuse my newbie question:
I have added 2 attributes that are required when users enter anything into ldm. However they dont show up during entry for anyone admin included but they show up when editing. Ive double checked permissions etc. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

At a bit of a loss. Just to confirm - you are using version 2.3.0 (I assume because you say that the attributes are required), you have given *can_edit_entities* permission to the required usergroups, and you has set *display_entities* to yes.

I'm happy to take a look at your site if you want, but will need an user id with full admin privs to vbulletin.

Hi,

Any idea why I can't add categories? When I try to create a new category and click submit the pages just reloads and I still have 0 categories created.

This may be a problem with system resources. Take a look at your vb admincp - there's a box that reads "Welcome to the vbulletin control panel". One of the messages in there will tell you the PHP Memory Limit. This really needs to be 12Mb or more, depending on how many 'extras' you have installed. (You probably have to contact your server manager to get the value changed.)

If this is not the problem, get back to me and I will try to help.

Reply sent. Adding attributes is currently only available with the Add (Single) Entry form, not with the Add multiple form. It's something I still have to sort out.

Ok. Do you want me to take a look at your site? If so, send me a PM with details of an account that has vbulletin admin privs.

As per my email:

I saw this problem a few months ago with another site protected using the Suhosin module.

The limits that are being imposed by that module are preventing submission of complex forms. I am not an expert with suhosin, but I think the following settings may be to blame:

suhosin.*.max_array_depth
suhosin.*.max_array_index_length
suhosin.*.max_name_length
suhosin.*.max_totalname_length
suhosin.*.max_value_length
suhosin.*.max_vars

where * is get, post and request.

I think you/your server manager needs to increase each of these values quite significantly and restart your web server.

This is not something I can do for you.
