Strange thing happening here. I have a views block set to random display of its nodes and in the config node title area I have it set to rewrite the output of the field and Meet: [title] where title is the name of the faculty member. All has been peachy keen until yesterday, when the output of the title token stopped displaying. Checked each rotation...all title tokens did not display. I went to each node and saved. I made no changes to the nodes. Only looked at it and then saved. All was back to normal.

I'd love to track down what happened so I can assure that this doesn't happen again. Are there any reports of this occurring to anyone else? I saw nothing in a search here. Only thing that happened before the disappearing act is that cron ran and I did an update of bootstrap.inc (http://drupal.org/files/issues/multisite-d6-1.patch and http://groups.drupal.org/node/36450#comment-107870 ) Same things done on a dev site with no problem.

Not a lot of info to go on...but that's all I have. Any observations/comments?

** yes, I know what you will say about the patch and core -- wish that patch had simply been back ported to 6x.)

Heh. Sometimes you have to patch core, especially for stuff like multisite and a couple of performance things. We accept those.

I have not heard of tokens simply disappearing. One thing to check in the view is to make sure that the order of the fields did not change; fields can only utilize tokens from fields that precede the field, in order to prevent infinite recursion issues.

Nope..order of fields did not change unless I'm droopaling (?) in my sleep, now and these days, well, hey, maybe I am. If so, I am going to start charging for that time cause right now it's pro bono.

the only thing I had to do "fix" was to open the node and click save. That fixed it. No field rearranging...nada.

Well, anyway, wieeerd. I'll keep an eye on it and see if it goes into delete mode again. Maybe just the full moon. Thanks.

Hm. Due to lack of ability to replicate, I'm going to go ahead and close this.
