No Smart Content or Categories showing under Content Libraries.

Beatlesdude

I'm running on a MacBook Pro. 10.7.5 system. I am using DAZ 4.6. I have no files appearing in Smart Content, Content Library/ Categories. I thought that was normal until a buddy showed me his stuff that was running off a Mac using Mavericks. It made me realize that I had once had Smart Content when I first downloaded 4.6 but something must've happened to cause a change that I was unaware of. Any help would be appreciated.

Exactly which version of DAZ Studio? Did you install PostgreSQL?

Beatlesdude

I have DAZ 4.6.2.120 Pro Edition 64 bit. I don't have PostgreSQL. I just looked it up and see that I can download that. I'll give that a try.

Beatlesdude

PostgreSQL is asking which directory to put this in. Should I let it default to this? Or do I need to do something involving the DAZ directory?

Richard Haseltine

You would need to update DAZ Studio to use PostgreSQL. You might want to, however, as it rather looks as if your database is corrupt - see the troubleshooting here https://helpdaz.zendesk.com/entries/22523891-Trouble-shooting-the-Smart-Content-Pane

OK, good to know. Isn't DAZ 4.6 the latest version?

Beatlesdude

That did it! Thank you soooooooooo much Richard. You just made my weekend! I have everything I'm supposed to have now. Phew! Things never go that easy for me. Ha!

Cool!

Yes, but the devil is in the detail - or at least, the next two numbers. The latest build is 4.6.3.50, you can see what you have by going to help>About DAZ Studio and looking at top-left of the splash screen.

I'm glad it's working now.
