No teaser display in forum

By mariner702 on 26 Jun 2009 at 02:44 UTC

Hi,

When a user posts a topic in the forum, the teaser for that topic does not display. I checked to make sure that all nodes are published in content types and user have permissions but nodes aren’t showing in teaser form. Can anyone tell me what’s going on? Thanks.

they don't show teasers where?

if on the front page, you must edit the forum content type and check promote to front page.

Just like what you see here

Just like what you see here in post installation where all the titles are listed in order. I tried promoting to front page in content types > Forum Topics but the nodes go to the front page of my website and that's not something for which I'm looking. I don't have anything moderated so I would think that as soon as someone posts a node in forum, the node would automatically appear just like what we have here.

vm:clicks on post installation, taxonomy term (forum) here on drupal.org:

I see. When you said teaser I thought you meant a summary like on the front page of drupal.org and default drupal sites. So no, my first assumption is incorrect.

so basically: on your site the threads (the title in the forum list) aren't being shown in your forums after the thread is posted and published is checked for that content type.

and this is happening as first created user? or is it just that some roles can't see it? if so it may be a permissions thing
what if you clear the cache in administer -> perforamance? will the missing posts appear? if so it's a cache issue in some way.

Is this the core forum.module we are dealing with with no alterations? no addons dealing with forums?
ie: is this view overriding forums in any way?

Even as the administrator,

Even as the administrator, when I test it out I get the same results as anyone else would so I don’t think it’s a permissions thing. I constantly clear the cache but I get similar results. Morever, this is just the forum from the core. I installed some forum modules like advanced forum, but have since unenabled and discarded it. I tried the core forum module without any additional modules in a different website of mine but it did the same thing (or didn’t do). So, I just think it’s a problem with the core forum module.

I'm having no problems with my forums on any of the sites I have. All sites using 6.12

would you please produce a link to your site so that we can inspect?

Oh my bad. I needed to allow

Oh my bad. I needed to allow authenticated users to access the taxonomy in permissions. I did that, and now it’s working the way I want it to. On the forums select box between the title and body, is there a way I can put that box on top of the title field to make it more clean-looking? Thanks.

You could set up a view and

You could set up a view and put it in a block with the teaser, other than that maybe you could look into theming the forum module, this is kind of general advice, sorry I can't be of more help as I'm not familiar with forums in drupal.
