New coaches "saved" but seem to be auto-deleting

[mUtterberg]

I've tried to add a coach twice today. Each time, I get a "saved" confirmation, but the coaches section in my admin page shows no coaches and throws me a "no coach with ID ####" error.

@mUtterberg what page is this happening? Also can you provide a step by step of how to reproduce it?

[mUtterberg]

I'm unable to save coaches from the admin tab for viewing coaches, but I was able to add them as page dependencies in the "edit website contents" tab for web content pages in admin. Will comment in more detail tomorrow, but I did find a workaround.

Thank you!

I've just hit this issue too. I think the problem is in the CoachAdmin.get_queryset method: https://github.com/DjangoGirls/djangogirls/blob/master/coach/admin.py#L21

It's restricting you to viewing/editing coaches that are already linked from an EventPageContent object for an event for which the user is part of the team, hence the (erroneous) "does not exist" message.

A possible solution would be require adding the coach to an EventPageContent using an admin inline on the creation form. If that sounds like a good idea then I'm happy to create a PR.

This issue seems to be still open. I am currently organizing an event and I am running into the same problem.

If someone would drop a workaround as the pull requests don't seem to get approved that would be great.

@mUtterberg it's been a while ago now, but did you manage to get a better workaround?

Otherwise I will see during the next weeks if I can build a little html-boilerplate with inline css or something that can be copy pasted into the admin view form that looks good as a workaround. It would totally force us to add every coach manually in HTML, but it might be the only way for now.

I will post the code here once I am done. This might get others running into this issue a little head start when spinning up their event website.

I'll check this.

Perhaps this was fixed in #750?

[vanessa]

There's a possibility that this is related to #956
