[SOLVED] Cannot add attributes to a product

Hi!

I have OC 1.5.1.1 installed and my problem is I cannot add any existing attribute to a product. There should be a "pop-up" box when I start typing first letters of an attribute, but it simply doesn't show up. I suspect there is something wrong with my webserver configuration so my question is: what do I need to check on the webserver in order to make this function work? I attached PHP info to this post in case it might help someway.

Thank you.

SOLUTION: There has to be a php module mbstring installed on the webserver.

ask your host if mbstring php module is installed

I also am having the same problem, I do not think this is a problem with mbstring as I have this problem and have mbstring installed. :S

Mbstring module has been installed on the server, but the problem still exists :-/

to check mbstring is working correctly

create a new php file call it test.php

inside the file put the following
Save it, upload it, run it.

You should see on the screen:

Hello,

The autocomplete function do not working in Featured products for me. Tested your code to check if mbstring is installed and found out that it is installed. you can check it at www.theheadphones.co.uk/info.php

The opencart version i am using is 1.5.0. Not sure what the problem is. Have been behind it since days. Please help.

Well, you should upgrade to at least 1.5.0.5 for a start this may fix your problem and certainly fixes several other bugs in the early 1.5.0.x releases

Version 1.5.3.1

What can be wrong?
