Description
D 6.10
VI 6.21
Everything was find, until just now.
Now all VI's are gone and VI does not see any available Vocabs.
Only major change to site was that I decided to remove the module opencalais and all the terms it created. But this was several hours before I lost my Vocab indexes.
any suggestions?
Should I try the 2.x Dev version? or the Dev 6.3 version?

#1
I just remembered one other task
Using Admin> Content> - I demoted 30 nodes from Front page
#2
update
After I stopped freaking out :-)
I did some normal steps
Disabled module
Uninstalled Module
Enabled Module
..... eveything back :-)
Also recall installing syndication module

Relax, calm down. Take a deep breath and tell me _exactly_ what vocabularies you had (were they created manually or automatically?) and for which ones you couldn't enable any index anymore.
#4
lol, I had just finished and went to review everything ... yikes ... nothing :-)
The Calais Vocabs were created automatically and were created "after" the ones I wanted to keep
So the ones I wanted to keep are in the lower numbers (created manually) and the ones I deleted were in the higher numbers
I think I understand why it took awhile to notice they were missing, VI is cached
So, I'm thinking they got lost during the regen
PS: I have also found a great bonus bennie when using Autopath & VI
With the Autopath Module in the "Taxonomy term path settings" section
If I use [vocab-raw]/[catpath-raw]
this leaves the [vocab-raw] dir empty or better stated - Page Not Found
Not anymore .. I just set the VI path for the Vocab dir
and wham, bam ... slick stuff :-)

We need to find out why Vocabulary Index couldn't see those vocabularies anymore. Are you sure that at least some of the vocabularies weren't deleted either automatically or manually?
#6
very sure, the main reason I freaked was that I thought the Vocabs/Terms were gone and I would have to re-tag a few hundred nodes
But they were there from the Tax module, VI just didn't see them or even know they were there, until I did a VI reinstall
forgot to mention - flushing cache did not resolve
#7
I'm having the same exact problem after installing Calais and merging some vocabularies. I will try the reinstall method and report back. Kevin

uninstall and reinstall fixed the problem. it's somewhat of a pain now trying to get all of the menu items rebuilt because drupal is remembering some from before and it won't let me use the paths. I cleared cache without any luck. I guess I will just have to wait ... hopefully it will clear itself after a couple hours.
on another note, i want to remove a column from vocab index pages. i have tried naming a file page-vocabulary-index.tpl.php and page-vocabulary.tpl.php ... neither of these work. What should i name the page to override page.tpl.php for the module generated pages. Thanks. Kevin

Just started working on it :)
#10
Here's a patch that makes index storage dynamic, which should work with other modules better than the current approach. Please do not use this on a live site before testing, since it's a rather radical update.
#11
thanks
#12
Could you please review the patch and report how it works?
