probably it is a database table wrongly created.

do you have acces to your MySQL? can you tell me what fields you find on jos_muscol_artists table?

fields in the table:

id
artist_name
image
review
letter
class_name
related
keywords
added
hits
country
picture
user_id
metakeywords
metadescription

is there something I need to do to this table to get it to work?

yes, there are four fields missing.

did you upgrade to 2.2 directly from 2.0??! (these fields were added on 2.1...)

these are the fields:

`city` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`years_active` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`url` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`genre_id` int(11) NOT NULL,

I think what I did was first install 2.0, but then uninstalled it and just installed 2.2. So I just logged uninstalled the component completely and logged into phpmyadmin and deleted all the muscol tables so they would be recreated.

I reinstalled 2.2 (the package name is com_muscol_2.2.0_community_pro_1.6.zip). All the fields are now there. However, now when I click on my newly created Add Artist link, I get a message from firefox saying that the web page is redirecting in a way that will never resolve. I hit the back button and then click on my home page and see this:

You are not authorized to add artists.

How do I authorize someone to add artists? The user is a registered user on Joomla.

mmm well that is not normal behavior: this message appears if the user is not logged in and clicks on the link...

can you send me access and a link?
