Description

I have had the classified ad module working well for about 6 months. Recently I have noticed that newly created ads do not appear in the ad summary page. I tried looking into it and it looks like the date is getting messed up. Here is the top portion of an ad that I just created:

Test Ad

* View
* Edit

* Ad expiration extended from _the beginning of time_ to Thu, 09/28/1989 - 04:08 (already published).
* Classified Ad Test Ad has been created.

Test Ad

expires on Wed, 12/31/1969 - 19:59 (96 years)

This does not make any sense to me. Both the server and client workstation are running ntpd and they have a clockdiff of 0. The server is synced to time1.chu.nrc.ca.

I have reset the settings/ed-classified page to its defaults without success.

Update:

It looks like it is the same problem as the bottom of this issue (http://drupal.org/node/532712); the content types were unchecked after an upgrade.

The problem could be found here:

Content management > taxonomy > edit vocabulary > select correct content types.

Afterwards, the taxonomy appears in the ads and must be select for each ad that was created while this was a problem. A quick reset expiry date in the ad also help.
