We have recently upgraded from Drupal 4.7 to 5.2. We are using the Category module and have two categories of newsletters: announcements and newsletters. When we created a new issue of our simplenews newsletter, and set the category to newsletter, the newsletter appeared in the orphaned newsletters list and when we looked in the database, the tid for the issue is not set. All issues prior to our upgrade have the tid set appropriately. Everytime we try to create either an announcment or a newsletter (either category used by our simplenews ), the tid is not being set. What could be wrong?

Additional observations:

  • If I edit the database table for simplenews_newsletters and set the tid, then edit the newsletter without changing anything and submit, the tid disappears again.
  • the database tables term_node shows the correct settings for each nid-tid combination, ie, tid is not blank for the newsletter nid.
  • the database tables category_node shows the correct settings for each nid-cid combination, and cid the same as the appropriate tid.

Somehow, retrieving the tid is failing, and when it does, it inserts a 0 into the tid field for simplenews_newsletters.

Sorry, but Simplenews and Category module are not compatible. See the Simplenews project page for more information (http://drupal.org/project/simplenews).
