This module is making a nonprofit site I'm working on possible, or almost possible so first of all thanks!

The issue I'm facing sounds similar to another one posted here but I believe is different.

I have the module installed and it works great except one term which will not show the nodes associated with it when you click it. It just shows a grey page (not white) as do empty terms. The term has about five nodes associated with it. If I hit the browser (IE6) multiple times eventually the nodes show, but leave the page and come back and it is grey again. It isn't a simple refresh issue because the first few times you refresh it doesn't do anything but continue to show the grey page.

The address below shows for both the greyed out page and the refreshed page that shows the correct nodes.

http://www.domain.org/bod/taxonomy_menu/1/9/13

Do you know of any issues that would cause this or how I might be able to fix it. It doesn't happen on other terms and nodes - at least not yet .

NB: I would like to use the weighted node patch to correctly order the associated nodes that display when I click on a term in the menu. Do you know if it works ok with taxonomy_menu and Drupal 4.3.2? Without a way to correctly order the nodes it doesn't display in a functionally logical way.

Update from user "gatezone" at: http://drupal.org/node/view/5659

Getting somewhat desperate about this problem.

I've been poking around in the database and in the term_node table I see these nid's and tid's (Sounds like a demon spawn in a bad "angel" episode).

Menu just above the one in question has this link:

http://www.domain.org/bod/taxonomy_menu/1/9/11

and shows all the nodes associated with tid 11.

NID TID
38 11
28 11
42 11
33 11
41 11

but...the next menu item/link

http://www.domain.org/bod/taxonomy_menu/1/9/13

does not show its nodes (must be shy) associated with it, just a greyed out section. Even the refresh 'trick' doesn't seem to work anymore.

NID TID
7 13
43 13
44 13
45 13
46 13
50 13

Is the number 13 just unlucky as a TID? Should I delete the term and recreate one? I guess due to the overwhelming response to this I'll try this and hope for the best but I don't see any problem with the database and the other terms are identical in terms of their associations.

I can't reproduce this. Is the site you're setting up accessible over the web at all? The URLs you give are all "page not found"; I assume they are example URLs only. I'm curious what you mean by "greyed out"; is it as if the nodes are just not being displayed, or is there actually a grey box of some sort that appears on that page? Is it possible that one of the nodes on that page contains some HTML that is messing up the page formatting?

I deleted the vocabulary term and added it back after the deletion. Seems to be working fine now. No idea why it wouldn't work, but it works now. Voodoo solutions. I like it better when I know why something works or doesn't work, but tomorrow's presentation will work and that's good.

If it happens again I can make the page available to you. If it doesn't happen again we can chalk it up to sun spots.

Any experience using the node_weighting 'patch' with taxonomy menu? I really need to order the nodes within the terms in specific yet changable sequences/orders.

No news on this for a long time, and unreproducible. Closing.
