Hi,

I'm run a usergroup at nyclightwave.com

Not sure when this started to happen but the forums on my site don't seem show when a post has been added.
The forum has a column for Topics and Posts. When I goto content and re-assign a topic to a different catagory, nothing
happens. Some categories have several topics and posts, but when clicking into the category, there are no posts or less than what it says on the main forum page under the colums Topic or post.

I'm not sure if this is a drupal problem or a module problem.
I am about to upgrade the site to 5.3, and i'll see if the problem still persists.
I was thinking it was autopath, ,or pathauto modules. But disabling both has not helped.

Please reopen if this happens in a current version of Drupal.

Ok.

I'm not so sure this is a bug but, I did update to 5.5 and still having a problem.

New forum nodes don't show up in the forum in their categories. But show up on the front page. I looked at the mysql and the nid and vid values are different from each other, should they be?. I also have a vid_2 in the node indexs, I don't seem to have one in my other drupal test installs. (THere are several old posts that do show up. So at some point something got messed up.)

Misc****(Post here if you don't know which forum to post in)*** Anything goes. 2 4 1 week 2 days ago by admin
2 being the number of topics and 4 being the number of posts. If you click into the category, there is nothing.

I think the problem might of been when I once installed organic groups and there was something it did to the basic mysql
table. I remember there was some setup it did that warned that it would change the database. The sites been up for awhile, since 4.7 and I think this was a problem from back then.

I tried several things I saw in the forum, like in this forum post. http://drupal.org/node/90214

It didn't help. ANyone have any clues. ON inspecting the posts that do show up, thier nid and vid values are the same.
Does this matter? I will mess with a test posting, and see if that helps.

I had a forum problem that may be related to yours. If you've disabled the forum module at any point after it was enabled (even if you re-enabled it), you need to look at this issue: http://drupal.org/node/199373

That's what I figured out was going on with mine. I've never installed organic groups.

Hmmm,
vocablulary_node_types
after looking I have 2 forum items there.
vid type
Edit Delete 1 forum
Edit Delete 1 image
Edit Delete 2 image
Edit Delete 7 weblink
Edit Delete 9 event
Edit Delete 9 forum
Edit Delete 9 image
Edit Delete 9 massmail
Edit Delete 9 mass_contact
Edit Delete 9 page
Edit Delete 9 story
Edit Delete 9 video
Edit Delete 9 weblink

Something tells me that shouldn't be the case.

If I try to post a forum topic, The drop down list of the categories is there.

avskip commented

The problem I had manifested itself as the drop down list of categories was missing when trying to post.

I'm not quite sure why you have a vid type of 9 with forum unless that's related to organic groups. Never run that module so I have no idea even how it works.

Maybe someone else will know what would help you.

anyone know why I would have 2 forum values here?
apparently if you have different modules they create the extra values.
9 is the vid type for tags in this case. So tags has a vocabulary for all of the ones that have 9 in the column.

Still not sure why everything seems to be there, but the forum page, after selecting a category does not show the individual
forum posts.

Hi Antonio,

Have you tried using the support mailing list yet for this? It's listed on this page: http://drupal.org/support

Maybe they would have an idea what's up on your site.

Regards,
Skip

avskip commented

I went to your site to see what was up with the forum posts. Your problem is completely different to mine.

When you post, you can see and select a forum category. Mine wouldn't do that.

What happens when you post a forum topic is it's not shown in the forum but is shown as a forum topic in recent posts.

This is a little over my head I'm afraid. It makes me think the category isn't the same on the post as it is in the vocabulary.

I'd like to see what the solution is on this one so I'll keep monitoring to see what happens.

DId you disable the forum module and re-enable it. I tried that on a different test site. The problem that was described in that one link there is true. It erased the row in the mysql table vocabulary_node_type. I added vid 1 type forum and it worked.
Same problem, no drop downs.

Also just fyi. I deleted in that table above the forum and 9 row. When going back to check the site, the tags requester disappeared. After putting it back it showed up. In your problem, the list of forums categories got removed I think somehow.

I'll keep looking for help on this. Where exactly should I post this? The support page re-routes me back to drupal.org/forums

I think I would go to the support page and sign up for the email support list. Those guys are pretty good and there are a few of the "big Drupal names" that monitor it. I think that's your best bet.

I wish they would fix the bugs in the 5.x version before moving onward with 6 and now they are even working on 7! I've had very little luck lately with the Drupal forums as well as any issues I've turned in. No one has been assigned to the issues yet so not sure if they will ever fix any of those problems.

Good Luck!

Does anyone know why on the forum page; the forum container would not display updates of the forum nodes within? I upgraded to 5.5 and the problem still existss so I don't think the problem is with the code, but with the mysql database. Anyone at all. Anything would be helpful because i'm stumped.

Installed the develop module and under node access summary I got this message. But i'm not sure what it means.

Legacy Nodes

You have 240 nodes in your node table which are not represented in your node_access table. If you have an access control module installed, these nodes may be hidden from all users. This could be caused by publishing nodes before enabling the access control module. If this is the case, manually updating each node should add it to the node_access table and fix the problem.
Summary by Realm

The following realms grant limited access to some specific nodes.

Ok, this is nice. The Develop modul has a tab on your node page called dev load. It is helpful.

SO this code is from a page that does NOT show up in the forums. (from what I can tell there is a PATH
field. There is no path on the page that does show. I am using the path-auto module.)

do you have a button to rebuild the node access table ?

I did, but It still didn't work.

New posts don't show up in forum containers. Some of the older posts do show up. I can't figure out what the difference is.
between these posts. Even using devel module. It shows a ton of things. Just still can't figure it out.

I seem to have fixed the problem.

I went to the phpmyadmin and played around with different fields. (very dangerous if you don't know what your doing.)
I was found that there was a vid_2 and it was set to unique and vid was not set to unique. I looked at other installations of
drupal, and there was no vid_2 anywhere. So I left it, but turned vid to unique. This seems to have fixed the problem.
I think this was under Vocabulary_terms.

I had similar problems. The drop down list where You must set forum (&tid) was not showing up. So I also took Phpmyadmin adn changed one value.
In vocabulary_node_types table the was not any record showing which vocalbury to use when posting forum topics. Thats way I insrted new row with vid=5 (vocalbury ID for forums) and type=forum.

It worked!

Would anyone please care to explain, preferably in simple terms, the whole relationship thing between forums, node, vouabulary and terms.

I now have the issue of no forum topics appearing in their relevant forum containers, yes you guessed it I uninstalled and reinstalled the forums module.

Now though I just can't get my system to add forum threads where they should be.

Anyone care to share a step by step guide as to what should be going where so I can recover this without having to reinstall my entire Druapl test system.

Thanks
Keith

[EDIT] - Fixed - Look at this http://drupal.org/node/90214, it worked for me brilliantly :)
