Problem in the Books for Review section

Hi there,

trying to enter a book in the User Home → Editor → Books for Review form produces the following error:

Please select a valid author type

even though I chose the correct one from the dropdown menu (see attached scereenshot).
I am clueless.
Any hints?

Thanks a lot

Hi @Jesaiah,

I would recommend working with the Objects for Review plugin, if that’s possible – it supersedes the older Books for Review plugin.

Hey Alec,

thank you for the fast answer. However, after activating the object review plugin and trying to create an object for review, I get this … (note that I chose only valid options, most from the dropdown menus…):

Hi @Jesaiah,

Hmm, it looks like something is going wrong for form posts in general, or at least some of them. Are you doing some rewriting or redirecting at the web server level?

Yes, indeed we do. One observation I have made is that in certain situations (e.g. login → user home → journal Manager) the server name (www.jrfm.eu) is replaced by the server IP adress in the URL (you see an example in the above screenshot)… maybe this is connected.

I try to get the respective snippets of the conf files from our sysadmin, maybe you see something that we have missed …
