Attached are the modified files from the /var/www/html/fop2/admin/

  • dbsetup.php (altered the custom field creation, it can't block an insert if its null)
  • functions.php (quotes all usages of groups with a back ticked ` )

Please see the attached Archive.zip for the patched files

Setting the default value on the custom field wil solve this.

groups
Wherever you use the keyword groups use the back ticked ` around it.
