Hi there,

I posted this issue earlier, not knowing it was a Views-related problem: http://drupal.org/node/1274014.
However, now with some more testing, I've found out that any node I edit/update no longer appears in any view. All the other nodes still appear.
This is a serious issue as I can't downgrade as it's been in production for about 1 month now.

Please help me out, thank you!

I'm quite sure that noone will be able to help you as the support for the d5 version was dropped quite some time ago.

Drupal 5 is no longer supported.

So I'm going to have to upgrade to 6?
I'm trying to avoid that for a while...

A pointer in the right direction would be helpful...

You know if you don't use a software for at least 2 years, you also don't know how to use it.

If you still want help, please read http://drupal.org/node/571990 and provide and least some informations.

The software has been heavily used over the past years.
I can't give more information as I don't have it nor can I reproduce it. A hint into why nodes would be hidden when updated (maybe with the version of a node?) would be handy.
I'm looking for insight into the Views architecture rather than anyone helping me technically, I already presumed I wasn't going to get that kind of help.

It's not that we don't want to help you...

Please read the post i gave you, you definitive can give more informations.

Perhaps merlinofchaos remembers some parts of the views1 architecture, I can't help you here.
Already d5 itself is unmaintained, so it's probably hard to get someone to help you without any congret examples.

Personally i guess that you have a filter for node: status but your node updates unpublishes your nodes or other kind of access stuff.
... Update the status as this is somehow still true.

The only way a node would not appear in your view is if:

1) It no longer fits the filter criteria
2) node_access restrictions applied to the node restrict it from showing up in queries.

If it's 2) you would probably lose access to the node entirely, unless you're logged in as UID #1. (That's an interesting test, by the way. If the behavior disappears when you log in as UID #1, it is probably node_access related.

That said, Drupal 5 was retired in Jan of 2011. The version of Views for Drupal 5 is completely different than the version of Drupal 6. If you have a Drupal 5 site that went into production a month ago, you made a serious mistake. Drupal 6 has been out for nearly 4 years.

Hi guys,

Thank you for the suggestions, this will get me a bit further.
And for the record, the site didn't go online last month, that would be a huge mistake indeed.
It's been up for about 6 years now. Never had the time to update (nor the need for it) and finally found some time this summer. Wanted to update to D7, but figured the path would be long and painful, so I just updated to D5.23 (from D5.12) and that kind of got me stranded here.
But thanks anyway, hope I'll find out more now!
