Currently, a custom content type (probably any content type but forum) does not appear in the assigned forum if it was scheduled to publish using Scheduler module.

Please see http://drupal.org/node/511070 for details...
note: these nodes actually appear in forum table when saved, then are removed from it when they publish... why?!
also note: I have reproduced this on a fresh Drupal 6.13 install

At my site, we really need the ability to schedule non-forum (but forum vocab enabled) node types and have them appear in the forum automatically when they publish.
So, if you can fix this (either via module or patch) and want reimbursement to do so, give me a quote and we'll talk.
The sooner the better.
Thanks!

Somebody has stepped up to this and will be developing a patch. Apparently, there is an issue open on a forum.module bug that is believed to be the culprit here as well.

Have received a patch that I can confirm works. Will post more info on that here or link to the related issues.

Edit: apparently it has to do with a presave bug... http://drupal.org/node/207024

After several updates to Drupal 6 core, I no longer have a patch that works.
So the problem remains:
the save method used by Scheduler module (I'm told the method it uses is correct so it's not a Scheduler problem) results in new nodes of custom content type (forum enabled) to post with the correct taxonomy but no row in the Forum table.
The result is that the post appears in the forum with a "has been moved" message and link.
Functional but ugly... and no stats for the thread appear in the forum.

Would be delighted to find a long term solution to this.

Manually resaving these nodes after they post creates the forum table row. We just don't want to have to do this every time.
So far, haven't been able to get Rules module to do it either.
