Fresh install, created new language (spanish) but can't edit it.

Clicking on the link to edit the language (http://127.0.0.1:8000/language_detail/?edit=14) gave the following message:

>list index out of range

Thanks!

This is interesting because on the home page, there is a dropdown listing all the languages I have (spanish and german), and the spanish element does have an ID of 14.

Investigating further. models.py has the following:

    # for the chosen lang (language I want to learn)
    # the ADMIN has the basic languages (owner=1)
    if not called_by_Obj:
        learning_lang = Languages.objects.filter(owner=1, code_639_1=code_learninglang_OR_obj).values()[0]
        googletranslate_dicturi = learning_lang['googletranslateuri']

but I created the language Spanish under my account (the non-admin account), so the owner_id of the language spanish is 2:

sqlite> select id, name, owner_id from languages where id=14;
id|name|owner_id
14|Spanish|2

I guess the language has to be created by the admin (??), instead of by individual users. I'll update that record manually and try editing it again.

Hi JZ, I'm having the same problem, where I can't edit a language that I added manually. How did you solve it in the end?

I ran into further problems, and seeing as the project appeared to be dead, I wrote a new one called Lute :-)

Ah cool, thanks for letting me know! I'll check out your project :)
