I'm having an issue with Category where my CCK Nodes are being converted into Categories on save. I'll outline my setup and would love to have anyone comment on what I should be doing differently.

Drupal 5.1, CCK 5.x-1.4, Category 5.x-1.1

Container 'Development'
Container 'Portfolio'
Category '2005'
Many Nodes: CCK Type 'Project'
Category '2006'
Many Nodes: CCK Type 'Project'
Category '2007'
Many Nodes: CCK Type 'Project'

This layout was from the import of the Taxonomies. It was working well.

Container 'Portfolio' Settings:
Types: Project, Hierarchy: Single, Multiple-Select, Required, Parent: Development, Depth: 1, Distant Parents: This Container, TOC Enabled, Menu Items Within: Enabled, Menu Items Assigned: Enabled Breadcrumbs

When i save one of the CCK Node types, this is what the structure then looks like:

Container 'Development'
Container 'Portfolio'
Category '2005'
Many Nodes: CCK Type 'Project'
Category '2006'
Many Nodes: CCK Type 'Project'
Category '2007'
Many Nodes: CCK Type 'Project'
New Node: CCK Type 'Project' <- New Hybrid Category - Project node type. Has menu items when should only have breadcrumbs.

When I saved the node, i expected it to update the Categories it was a part of, but not make it into a category.

Thanks for taking a stab at my problem,
George

Title: CCK Node transformed to Category on save. » CCK Node transformed to Category on save. (SOLVED)

Solved this issue.
What happened is somehow, maybe through the import of taxonomies, the Project CCK Node type was set to act as a "Category".

The solution was to enable the category_transform module and remove the behavior from the Content Types page for the Project node type. Then I could disable the category_transform module again. User Error FTW!

Hope this helps someone else.

Cheers!
