Hello. I am experiencing a problem where permissions for uncategorized nodes for all roles are being unset (unchecked) when I update the site's taxonomy. I've applied the patch at http://drupal.org/node/30706 and http://drupal.org/node/19670 and the problem persists. Is anybody else experiencing this?

It sounds it's pretty much agreed taxonomy_access is in need of a complete overhaul... +1 for that idea.

Can you give a better description of the problem?

>I am experiencing a problem where permissions for uncategorized nodes for all roles >are being unset (unchecked) when I update the site's taxonomy.
What do you mean by updating the taxonomy? Enabling the TAC or adding/deleting a term?

What is the symptoms of the problem? Does it give any 'watchdog' or after updating it does not work?
How many nodes and roles do you have?
What version of drupal and TAC do you use?

Regards,
Keve.

Hi Keve. Thanks for your hard work on Taxonomy_access.

I'm running Drupal 4.6.3 and installed the 4.6.0 version of Taxonomy_Access. I successfully applied the included taxonomy.patch against my version of taxonomy.module. I've applied two additional patches (see above) to attempt to correct the problem.

I noticed the problem originally started happening every now and then, but couldn't identify the cause. I was pretty sure I had the cause identified as changing the taxonomy, but I'm not too sure any longer, as I'm currently unable to duplicate the issue.

There are no errors in watchdog. The primary symptom of the problem is when an anonymous user lands on our 'home page' (a page node that's uncategorized), they get the access denied message.

I figure a workaround would be to add a vocab term for 'Anonymous' or 'All' and tag everything that's currently uncategorized with it...

Thanks again,
Matt

This is normal, if you dont give permission to view uncategorized node.

I tried, but i have not experienced anything unusual, with uncategorized node.
Please let me know if it appears again.

(Note: patches in http://drupal.org/node/30706 are already commited to 4-6 and CVS. Regarding http://drupal.org/node/19670 , i cannot see the difference what the patch does. I posted a comment there, maybe someone can explain)

I've noticed the same problem. Whenever I add a new vocabulary, I have to go through category permissions and check again for all roles the "view" permission for uncategorized nodes.
