Dear fellow Drupal users,

I've stumbled upon a rather weird problem. Everytime, when I add a new forum topic (I use advanced forum), Drupal assigns a different node type, as if it is at random. As such, the forum topic will not display in the actual forum topic list.

Of course I have the devel module enabled, and this gives me the following data:

Taxonomy:

Array
(
    [23] => stdClass Object
        (
            [tid] => 23
            [vid] => 3
            [name] => Public Relations
            [description] => 
            [weight] => -9
            [language] => 
            [trid] => 0
        )

)

Content:

Array
(
    [body] => Array
        (
            [#value] => <p>Hello World!</p>

            [#weight] => 0
        )

    [forum_navigation] => Array
        (
            [#value] => 
            [#weight] => 100
        )

)

The path for the example above is node-24-blog, and I have not specified the blog node type in any way!

What could be going wrong? Maybe I should note as well that I have a multilingual Drupal (i18n) and I also have the generate content module enabled.

Thank you for your help!

Maybe to be a bit more clear...

When I click in the admin panel for content, I get a list (admin/content/node). There, I see my forum topics, so basically the node/content type is correct. But when I investigate the URL path settings, I see things like: node-22-page, node-24-image, node-15-story. How can this be possible when the content type is a forum topic?

Best regards

same exact problem but i think i've narrowed it down to using a duplicate taxonomy item or description field...

to be specific: i originally set up forums as 'classifieds' and changed the name (so it actually said "post new classifieds' instead of forum)...then i decided to change the classified to a content type (new type, as a node with custom fields) and somewhere along the way there was a wire crossed, so i changed forums to 'help and support' and so now a user sees this:

in menu on left, a shortcut to 'user help' (create content but from nav block) is correct, it generates a new forum topic under the 'help and support forums' - but if in help forums already, and you click to create new forum item, it still says 'create new classified' and now incorrectly shortcuts to the taxonomy for the new content type 'classified' (not a forum post, but a new custom node type with diff fields)...

strange...

I have reinstalled the modules, but without success. I think I will start over again with a clean install because it seems nobody has a solution at all.
