Hi everyone. I did not want to create a new topic, so i revive this one.<br />I am having problems with Joomla. It runs 1.013 version with Lithuanian language pack. As I know nothing about CMS< this site was made by one programmer from India.<br /><b>The first problem</b> is: from time to time I cannot add new sub-categories. yesterday I managed to add some 20 and then - nothing happens. I use Mosets Tree to add a Category, enter its name, try to press "Save"...nothing happens. IE tells "error on page", mostly "Access is denied". I thought it was IE fault, so I reset privacy settings off, disabled firewall, put my site and TCH into trusted zone.<br />Nothing helped. Later, I was able to add more ~20 sub-categories. Once again, silence. I am allowed to enter a Listing (with traditional IE "error on page"), but not Category. The same thing happens from my work wgere I use pre-hsitoric Win98. At home I use WinXP and IE6. I have deleted my dublicated user, but it was of no help.<br />I contacted live chat, they told me to provide login info about this site (which I did) and to open a ticket. It was later that I was able to add these (so far - last) 20 subcategories. They added sub-category "test" and wrote me everything was ok. Initially I though it *was*...but now it isn't.<br />I don't know what to do. TCH servers cannot be so bugy - tested my server ("ithor"), it has ~99.5% uptime. May it be MySQL or some error in scripts or something else - I don't know. Does anyone has any ideas? I may provide link, but in PM only.<br /><b>The second problem:</b> a minor one. Currently, my site is used as collectables catalogue. As such, it has lots of items identical by name, but different in other ways. I want names to be mostly identical (for example, Envelope, Post Card), but I can't do this - Joomla orders my Listings after name and I am forced to employ ugly names like Envelope1, Post Card'97_2, because it is the only way so far to hold logic line.<br />I tried to experiment with sorting but onykl made things worse <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /><br />Now, the question is: is it possible to add *any* hidden field, invisibkle to user, visible only for me where I could enter value in numbers and the system would sort according to this hidden field?<br />Any help would be higly appreciated<!--content-->
Sorry, I'm not that familiar with Joomla but if the techs cannot find anything wrong not sure what to have you try. Have you tried rebuilding the database?<!--content-->

It's a simple one click from within cpanel. Go to the database section and simply click repair. <br /><!--content-->

If you PM me with the ticket ref ( so that I can get the login details) I'll try and have a look later. <br /><!--content-->
You could also check in the official Joomla forum (forum.joomla.org) if anyone else have run into these kind of problems.<!--content-->
I have checked lots of forums - webhostingtalk, joomla, techsupportguy, webmastersworld and 2 from Lithuania. Nothing.<br />However, the problem is solved. I was contacted by Dick DeVance (Assistant General Manager). He had found the solution and I quote it:<br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE<!--content-->
