Problem when "update" options

[cionfs]

The first code doesn't work. The second code works.

Question... if I use MyTranslator_position_set for settinggroup and mytranslator_position for a simple setting, this could be creating problems?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

What vB version are you using?

[cionfs]

Version 3.8.4

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Are you creating this option using the normal Admin interface or are you editing and uploading a XML-file?

[cionfs]

Only with the XML file.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Then you should stop editing XML-files. This is not a supported option and can lead to issues like this. Why not just use the normal AdminCP interface?

[cionfs]

Changing an XML file with an XML editor is more convenient for me.
I will try at this point directly from the admin panel.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

You find it more convenient to scratch your head asking yourself why someone doesn't work, where you could also use the tools provided and it will work on the first try.

I solved the problem.

This code was wrong:

  <setting varname="mytranslator_position2" displayorder="5">
    <optioncode>select:piped
      left|Left
      right|Right
      center|Center
    </optioncode>
    <defaultvalue>center</defaultvalue>
  </setting>

This is correct

<setting varname="mytranslator_position" displayorder="5">
  <datatype>free</datatype>  
  <optioncode><![CDATA[radio:piped
left|Left
right|Right
center|Center
]]>
  </optioncode>
  <defaultvalue>left</defaultvalue>
</setting>

and It works fine!

Thank you for your support.

Glad you got it working, cionfs, and thanks for posting what worked since it may help someone else in the future.
