Greetings,

It looks like either there is some serious bug in Drupal or my database was corrupted during upgrade. When I updated from Drupal 5.5 to 6.8 I lost the possibility to list (without needing any module) nodes by taxonomy terms, as you can see by comparing the two installations:

http://storiafse.net/old/taxonomy/term/67 (Drupal 5.5)
http://storiafse.net/taxonomy/term/67 (Drupal 6.8)

I also posted more details at http://drupal.org/node/356394

Is this a database corruption problem? If yes, how can I restore in Drupal 6 the listings I had with Drupal 5 (cfr the two urls above)? Please let me know if you need more info to diagnose the problem, it's very strange that there is no input or documentation at all about such a problem.

TIA.
M.

fgm - that sounds like the same issue as this bug: http://drupal.org/node/286052 - any idea what's causing it?

OK, that works, thanks, but... what does all this mean???

More exactly:

1) why is the URL changed?
2) why isn't the change "propagated" when upgrading drupal?

What I mean by point 2 is this: please look at the home page, http://storiafse.net, under the first article "Campetto Invernale Lucoli 2009"
The fact that that story belongs to the category "Roma 5" is correctly listed.

However, why does "Roma 5" point to http://storiafse.net/taxonomy/term/67 instead of http://storiafse.net/taxonomy/term/67/1 ?? Shouldn't the proper URL be automatically generated by Drupal? (ditto for the other vocabularies, by the way)

3) what is the "general rule" here to find all URLs? For example, wrt the same story as above, that belongs to year 2009, but its URL (http://storiafse.net/taxonomy/term/67) gives an empty listing, and so does http://storiafse.net/taxonomy/term/67/1

In a nutshell: I don't care (so to speak...) if Drupal 6 gives to URLs of the same things a different format than Drupal 5, as long as it is consistent. If it wants to list the articles belonging to "Roma 5" under http://storiafse.net/taxonomy/term/67/1, then why doesn't it generate that URL by itself?

TIA,
M.
