Description
Compare these two webpages:
http://opl.cias.rit.edu/node/53
-Does not use Node Type Filter to filter content
http://opl.cias.rit.edu/taxonomy/term/27?type=biography
-Does use Node Type Filter to filter content
Notice that the second webpage, the webpage that does use Node Type Filter, does not display the "Projects" link in the Primary Links menu.
#1
Interesting problem. How is the "Projects" link being built? I'm assuming you have some contributed module doing it. I also assume that node/53 is not of the "biography" type.
This module intercepts all db_rewrite_sql calls and applies the node filtering to them. I'm not sure that there is any easy way to prevent the module that is building the "Project" menu item from being affected by the filtering.
#2
The "Projects" menu item was created by hand in admin/build/menu. The Project page itself is created by Views, but I don't think that should have an effect on the menu item.
And yes, you are correct that node/53 is not of type "biography". It is of type "page".
#3
Ahh, and Views will do a db_rewrite_sql, so it too is being subjected to the node_type_filter.
#4
Is this still occurring with the -dev version?
#5
When I enable this module, I lost node reference of my content type.
#6
Since I cannot reproduce this, I need you to test this. Please try the entire function with this:
function node_type_filter_db_rewrite_sql($query, $primary_table, $primary_field, $args) {if ($primary_field == 'nid' && $primary_table=='n') {
if (isset($_GET['tfilt']) && $str_types = $_GET['tfilt']) {
$types = explode(',', $str_types);
foreach ($types as $type) {
$ctypes[] = db_escape_string($type);
}
return array('where' => 'n.type IN (\''. implode("','", $ctypes) .'\')');
}
}
}
NOTE: this change the module from using "type" to "tfilt" so other modules that set this parameter (e.g. Taxonomy Browser) will not work with this change.
If this works, I will try to come up with a more generic way to fix this.

I am having the same problem where 2 of 4 primary menu links disappear when I filter a page view by node type. I am attaching two screen shots. The Not_filtered screen has 4 nav items and then once I filter it, you can see that there are only two.
