I need to create a few more channels on the site. We intend to have a setup where all channels are a set structure and no one but site admins has the "create channel auto" permission. We have a few existing channels that were created a long while ago. For some reason, no method of creating a new channel seems to work. I create a label - and it becomes available to be added to my profile , but it doesn't turn into a channel. I made sure the auto channel permission was turned on, and I created posts with hashtags, and no channels were created. I even tried creating a new top level label and putting an existing channel inside it to see what would happen with the breadcrumb link. It shows the name of the new top level label in the breadcrumb link, but it isn't clickable.
Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be ticked on to make it so that all labels become channels?
Hello @Indie Sellers Guild !
Could you please check if there is a JavaScript error on the page during your attempt to create a channel? It is possible to check in the browser Developer console (F12 in Chrome), the Console tab. If there are no errors then please PM me with your UNA studio access details.
Thank you @LeonidS I got it working! But I think I found a bug, maybe?
I had been using the search function from the permissions app in studio - typing in "Channels" to find the permissions. I tend to default to typing since I'm super fast at it...
If I do that, this is what I see:
I did this yesterday. I thought "Wait I don't remember turning all channel permissions off for Site Admins, that's super weird, but oh well!", then I turned them all on, and went to do my edits, and creating the channels did not work.
Then today I did the same thing again, and saw all the permissions turned off and was like "waaait a minute I KNOW I turned these on yesterday..."
So - searching appears to not work unless a module is selected - the search returns a list of things, but the permission setting does not match. If I click the sliders to enable the permissions, they appear to turn on, but don't really turn on.
But if I instead select the module from the menu, then I see the real permissions for the selected membership level:
And from this screen, turning on "Create Channel Auto" worked, and then creating new channels worked. So I'm all set now. :-)
Haha low priority bug if it is a bug since the workaround is very easy, but figured I would share. Thank you so much for your help!
Thank you too for your surprise found! Our team has fixed this issue https://github.com/unacms/UNA/issues/5498 also.
Excellent, glad I could help! ^.^
