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?

I just remembered one other task

Using Admin> Content> - I demoted 30 nodes from Front page

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.

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?

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

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

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.
