the field link_rewrite (Deutsch (German)) is invalid after 1.4 upgrade

[jmase]

Just upgraded to 1.4 Final and keep getting this error when I try to change / add content on a CMS page

"the field link_rewrite (Deutsch (German)) is invalid"

Think it may have something to do with my .htaccess file which looks like this:

"AuthType none
Satisfy Any
Order Deny, Allow
Allow from All

RewriteEngine on

hi

have you found a solution for this ? i am having some error.

[dv2n]

I solve this problem by deleting the language package in which my site is not support. If you do not use German on your website, delete it in Tools/ Languages.

Other suggestions?

I had the same problem. I got around it by creating a new page in this cms category and everything worked out fine. When I tried to use the pages already there, I got the same error message.

hi
on the page where you have this error shown, change your language to German (by clicking flag icon close to input field) and check 'friendly URL' field against any German national special signs. if there any (and I assume there will be minimum one simple change it to the normal one. DONE and DUSTED

in my case I've had 'Über-uns' (about-us) in friendly URL field for German language.
changing it to 'uber-uns' solved the problem.

in the same way you can fix other “the field link_rewrite (whatever-language) is invalid” errors. simple check if in URL field are no 'funny characters' for that particular language stated in error message.

...rember to say thank you )
