I just uninstalled the category module. To do so, I had to overwrite the taxonomy module as the 'uninstall wrapper' option did not work. However, once I did that, I get MANY of the following errors on my site:

user warning: Unknown column 'r.vid' in 'where clause' query: SELECT t.* FROM term_node r INNER JOIN term_data t ON r.tid = t.tid INNER JOIN vocabulary v ON t.vid = v.vid WHERE r.vid = 20 ORDER BY v.weight, t.weight, t.name in /home/user/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172.

I am not sure if this is due to the taxonomy module or the category module. I ran a mysql search for "r.vid" on my DB, and I received an error: "unknown column r.vid...". So, is a column missing? a table missing? I can see term_data and it has my original term list in it.

However, I cannot see taxonomies or categories in any of my setting pages.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Maria

Any help on this issue? I am sorry to say the more I use the category module, the less I want it on my site. It is complicated and does some rather odd things. Unfortunately, I cannot uninstall it b/c of this error. Reinstalling it fixed the error. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Maria

Priority: Normal » Critical

I am upping this to critical since I just discovered that the book module/wrapper is not working at all (see node: http://drupal.org/node/126746). I really would like to remove this from my site!

I ended up fixing this by simply re-installing all of drupal 5.1, and removing the category module entirely. Not ideal, but it worked.
