cannot create forums/containers in 5.0

By steve.m on 16 Jan 2007 at 19:14 UTC

Hi all,

Having an odd problem with a nice fresh install of Drupal 5.0. The forum module seems to be installed and enabled properly, but I cannot create any forums or forum contaners. There are no watchdog or php/apache errors being thrown, and the UI proudly claims to have created my new entities ... but they don't exist.

Anyone else seen this? Ideas?

Hmmm. Nodes are being created with the names I've specified, but they don't seem to be the correct node type. Note that all the category-cont and category-cat stuff below was created from the forum UI.

mysql> select nid, type, title from node;

| nid | type          | title                                         |

|   1 | page          | Welcome                                       |
|   2 | category_cont | Newsletter                                    |
|   3 | category-cat  | Drupal 5.0  newsletter                        |
|   4 | category_cont | About us                                      |

Looks like this must be a category module problem, as the same thing seems to be happening with newsletters.

I banged my head with this

I banged my head with this for quite sometime before giving up. The contrib category module proved to be the cause of most of my headaches. In perticular with forums.

it has something to do with the taxonomy wrapper. I won't say that the module doesnt work properly, but I couldn't get it to work with some core modules. That being said, the contrib category.module is not a module in my arsenal.
