I'm running Podcast Channels, and I try to add a Category Channel. But when I choose the category from the drop down list, then click to add it, it doesn't actually do anything that I can see. It doesn't give me a new set of settings to edit, for example.
Am I missing something?

you should get boxes like in the top screenshot here
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podcast-channels/screenshots/
titled "Category Channel: [yr wp category name]". they are empty at first except for a drop down menu to add fields. if you don't get this, let me know what browser you are using and i will investigate.
(i have so far tested it - weakly - with Safari and Firefox on the mac and IE6 on the PC)
i guess knowing what other plugins you use could help too - it might be that there is a javascript or PHP namespace/variable clash. i will get round to learning how to encapsulate plugins in a PHP class soon. honest.

Yep, definitely not getting that. Firefox 3.0.4 on Windows XP. Wordpress 2.6.3 with the following Plugins installed:
Askimet
Category Page
More Fields
Podcast Channels 0.20 (Obviously)
Podcasting 2.0b6
WP-PageNavi 2.31
WP-Polls 2.31
WP-Polls Widget 2.31
I'll try disabling some of those and see if that helps at all. I'll let you know if I find anything...

Yeah, even with all my Plugins disabled, it didn't seem to help at all. It just never even adds the Channel box....

wah.
the firefox i tested is 3.0.3 on mac (OSX 10.5.5) -- i'll see if i can get on an XP box at work today.
better ask one really obvious question though: do you have javascript disabled? (the admin page is all jQuery)

No, I don't. Sorry I couldn't make the problem that easy for you ;)

ah i bet it's the hardwired relative link to /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/podcast-channels/ for the CSS and JS (in the HTML head of the admin page)
:-(
that's pretty dumb of me.
what would be the correct URL of the plugins folder on your setup?
let me dig around in some plugins to see how they do that properly...

i've just updated the 'development version' (get it http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podcast-channels/download/) to use get_settings('siteurl') instead of the braindead hardwiring.
try it out.

That got it! Nice catch :)
Now I'll go check things out. :)

:-) thanks so much for doing this.
it's all very well me making this plugin to keep podcasts working on my own site, but what i love is giving the work back to all WP users to do the same.
