problems with $node->taxonomy

Here is an example of a problem I am talking about:

 ["taxonomy"]=>
 array(2) {
   [3]=>
   string(2) "23"
   [13]=>
   object(stdClass)#168 (5) {
     ["tid"]=>
     string(2) "13"
     ["vid"]=>
     string(1) "6"
     ["name"]=>
     string(7) "Pending"
     ["description"]=>
     string(0) ""
     ["weight"]=>
     string(1) "0"
   }
 }

What happens if you happen to have a term with an id of 3, since there is already vocabulary with an id of 3? I can't explain why only one item is objectized and the other item isn't.

This is a rules trigger that sends email on new content, in the email I var_dump($node).

Hmm, that patch doesn't seem to fix things. Something else is happening that is causing this.

Still trying to figure out what. Any ideas?

I think I can explain the mixing of vid -> tid and tid -> term object in the same array from comment #1 by a rule that was assigning a term.

But that still leave us with the issue of vid -> tid vs tid-> term object issues. I notice when I create or edit a node it is vid->tid, but when I add a comment it is tid -> term object.

Can anybody shed any light on this?

I am going to try my patch again tomorrow and see what happens.

Install Drupal 6.9 with rules 1.0beta-4.

Enable the following modules:

  PHP filter
  Rules module

Do the following:

Add Vocabulary:

  Name: v1
  Conent Type: page
  Settings: Required

Add Vocabulary:

  Name: v2
  Conent Type: page
  Settings: Required

To Vocabulary v2 Add Term:

   Term Name: v2:t1
   Term Name: v2:t2
   Term Name: v2:t3
   Term Name: v2:t4

To Vocabulary v1 Add Term:

   Term Name: v1:t5
   Term Name: v1:t6
   Term Name: v1:t7
   Term Name: v1:t8

Make sure the following has happened:

  v1 has vid = 1
  v2 has vid = 2

  v2:t1 has tid = 1
  v2:t2 has tid = 2
  v2:t3 has tid = 3
  v2:t4 has tid = 4

  v1:t5 has tid = 5
  v1:t6 has tid = 6
  v1:t7 has tid = 7
  v1:t8 has tid = 8

Add the following Rule Triggers:

  Node -> After saving new content
  Node -> After updating existing content
  Node -> Content is going to be saved
  Comment -> After saving a new comment

Each Trigger should have one action:

  Send a mail to an arbitrary mail address

Use your email address, subject use the above label so you know what each email is for and the body should be this:

  <?PHP var_dump($node); ?>

Create page:

    Title: p1
       v1: v1:t8
       v2: v2:v4
     body: p1
 Comments: Read/Write

You should get two emails:

"Node -> Content is going to be saved"

 ["taxonomy"]=>
 array(2) {
   [1]=>
   string(1) "8"
   [2]=>
   string(1) "4"
 }
 ["nid"]=>
 NULL

"Node -> After saving new content"

 ["taxonomy"]=>
 array(2) {
   [1]=>
   string(1) "8"
   [2]=>
   string(1) "4"
 }
 ["nid"]=>
 string(1) "1"

Now edit the page and set:

    Title: p1:1
       v1: v1:t8
       v2: v2:v4
     body: p1:1
 Comments: Read/Write

You should get two emails:

"Node -> Content is going to be saved"

 ["nid"]=>
 string(1) "1"
 ["taxonomy"]=>
 array(2) {
   [1]=>
   string(1) "8"
   [2]=>
   string(1) "4"
 }

"Node -> After saving new content"

 ["nid"]=>
 string(1) "1"
 ["taxonomy"]=>
 array(2) {
   [1]=>
   string(1) "8"
   [2]=>
   string(1) "4"
 }

Now lets add a comment on p1:1:

  subject: c1
     body: c1

you should get one email:

"Comment -> After saving a new comment"

 ["nid"]=>
 string(1) "1"
 ["taxonomy"]=>
 array(2) {
   [8]=>
   object(stdClass)#6 (5) {
     ["tid"]=>
     string(1) "8"
     ["vid"]=>
     string(1) "1"
     ["name"]=>
     string(5) "v1:t8"
     ["description"]=>
     string(0) ""
     ["weight"]=>
     string(1) "0"
   }
   [4]=>
   object(stdClass)#7 (5) {
     ["tid"]=>
     string(1) "4"
     ["vid"]=>
     string(1) "2"
     ["name"]=>
     string(5) "v2:t4"
     ["description"]=>
     string(0) ""
     ["weight"]=>
     string(1) "0"
   }
 }

Can you explain why both adding and editing a page the taxonomy stays in the format vid => tid, but when adding a comment taxonomy is in the format tid => term object?

I can understand if nid == NULL it would be in the format of vid => tid, but after saving a new page and when updating an existing page shouldn't the taxonomy be in the format of tid => term object?

Is this a problem with node.module adding/editing nodes and not loading the taxonomy right? Is this a problems with rules.module some how loading the taxonomy differently for the node?

Can I assume that if any value in the $node->taxonomy is a object, then it is in tid => term object mode? Something like this:

$tax_preview_mode = 0;

if (is_array($node->taxonomy)) {
  reset($node->taxonomy) 
  if (count($node->taxonomy) != 0 && is_object(current($node->taxonomy)) === FALSE) {
    $tax_preview_mode = 1;
  }
}

Or is there a better way to detect form mode (vid => tid) vs tid => term mode (no idea what to call that, alt mode)?
