1.60 New Install w/o Sample Data Create New (first) Category Issue

Non-upgrade, new install.  If you tell nopCommerce to use an existing (unpopulated, no tables or sp existing) database and tell it to not populate with sample data, there is an error when trying to create the first category.  In IE you get an error message about:

Webpage error details    User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)  Timestamp: Thu, 17 Jun 2010 22:36:31 UTC      Message: 'Sys.Extended.UI.HTMLEditor.CustomToolbarButton.InsertDate' is null or not an object  Line: 678  Char: 5  Code: 0  URI: http://localhost/scart/administration/CategoryAdd.aspx

With Firefox and Chrome, you simply get a blank page, and if you try to save the "new" category, you get an error that says you must name the category, but there is no form to input any data, just a save button.

Anyone else replicated this issue?

i have the same problem. But i do a fresh install with new database created in the installation process, and i populate the db. When i edit or add categories or product i have this issue

Any idea on how to resolve the problem ?

thanks

@ korsonsky

are you developing on a local machine or did you install the software on the server ?

I am developing locally, but it should be no different than developing on a server.  I have IIS configured as expected.

for me it's on a dedicated webserver.

When i ask to show the source of the webpage i see all the html code with axd. but i don't see it on the webpage :(

always the problem, i can't use the nopcommerce because i can't manage my product & categories :(

any help will be apreciated

thanks

So, you're developing on a hosted environment - can you tell me, is nop running smoothly from the frontend ?

is the other features of your admin section working as normal ?

If so, can you go to admin   system-->log   and see if there are any error messages being generated when you have problems

the frontend is ok, and the system log is empty :(

can you create an account on http://www.paris-imprim.com i'll give you admin right so you could see my problem

thanks for your help

This is obviously an issue where the code doesn't address an empty table (Nop_Category).  As my error info suggested the issue is with NULL values.

I just haven't had time to delve into the thousands of lines of code behind to figure out the issue, and posted it hoping those that were "intimate" with the code would be able to reproduce on their local dev environment and maybe know the issue.

It is a definate bug with the code, not an issue of configuration or whether it is in a local dev environment or on a host.

Anyone should be able to install an instance using 1.60 and select no sample code when generating the database and reproduce regardless of the environment.

yes but it's not only with no sample code. I install it with for me and i have the problem too :(
