I have installed the category module and it all looked fine, then I tried to make a container and it didn’t seem to do anything when I then logged out of the admin all the content goes missing and the site shows up the first msg about setting up the first account.

I then cant login to the admin section and I have to install the backup in my database.

Please can some one help on this I have been trying to make 4 categories for 5 days now on my site and it just keeps going wrong.

I gave up and reloaded my database - Ugh! I still don't know what caused this and am scared it will happen again. Looking forward to understanding how total access to Admin was destroyed.

Check that the 'anonymous user' role for your site has 'access content' permission. You can set this permission on the 'admin/access' page.

What you are reporting is very strange (although I don't doubt you are struggling with this problem). Are you using any access control modules (tac, cac_lite) and does the user creating the container (are you logged in as admin or another user with sufficient privileges) have necessary permissions to create the container?

More details will help to solve this mystery.

I have all the modules on that are ment to be with this mod, I am the admin and I have it so that I can make the container and cats, well when its working.

Maybe there was something wrong when I installed it, is there anything that I can use to remove the tables from the database that it installed or modded and then I can remove all the files needed and start again, maybe some one could help me by giving me a drop sql for this.

Or if some one really didnt mind I could give them admin access to try and help me out I dont meen to be cheaky its just I have tryed all I know to sort it and I feel its going to be something simple and by uninstalling it could help bigtime as I did install it on the older version without knowing and then upgraded :-S

If you want to start afresh with this module, do the following:

1.) Make a back up of your exisiting database
2.) Uninstall all the category related modules from administer>>modules
3.) Go to the system table in your drupal site's database and run the following query:
DELETE FROM system WHERE name LIKE 'category%';. This will remove all the category related records from the database
4.) Enable all the category related modules once again at administer>>modules
5.) Start afresh

If you still have the same problem, I would be very surprised. If you also back up your site's files in Step1, you can move your old site and old database to another location (say, www.yourdomain.com/test) and try and troubleshoot there.

well I did what you said and it did seem to make the database a little bigger, but I still for some reason are having problems. I think the main problem is setting up a Container as there doesnt seem to be any ware for doing this as when I click on add Container it seems to take me to the add content page.

Does any one have any other ideas? My site is getting lots more content and I have now stoped adding more as its getting to full and really need this sorting :-( I am willing to pay something to the owner of this module if he could sort this problem out, I can give login info and stuff :-)

Status: Active » Closed (fixed)

Add container issue:
Click administer >> settings >> category.
Look at "content type settings".
Make sure you have the "Container" checkbox checked under "Provide these content types:"
TRUNCATE cache;

Content missing issue:
Disable the cac_lite module and any other access control modules you might have enabled.
TRUNCATE node_access;
INSERT INTO node_access VALUES (0,0,'all',1,0,0);

Closing this issue for now. Please reopen if you are still having trouble. Sorry about the delay.
