Topic starting node missing Author Pane when using Node Reference URL Widget

I guess my issue is related with this one.

When creating a new topic, the preview fuction does not display author pane, it acts like a regular comment. But the preview works fine if i edit the topic later.
When the topic is created, author pane shows correctly, and replies are fine too.

So only the preview for the first post in thread is broken.

I'm using:
Advanced Forum 6.x-1.1
Author Pane 6.x-1.1
Flat comments 6.x-2.0
Views 6.x-2.10

Did you ever figure this out? I don't even have a guess, unfortunately. :(

i have the same issue. must be colision with some module, i had the same colision with tribune and jquery_update! and everything was fine when i installed advanced forum at start of developing.

i tried:
- set weight of advanced_forum and author_pane (tried 999 and -999 and all combinations)
- it goes thru advanced_forum.naked.post.tpl.php
- removed IF around print $author_pane; so it seems $author_pane is not set here
- author_pane 's block works corectly there

and the winner is: nodereference_url version = "6.x-1.6"

Really? How odd... I can't think how that could possibly affect that. Oddly enough, I was just debating using that on my own site. LOL!

If you can find out how it's causing this, that would be great. It might be a while before I can look at it.

i'm not programmer so this solution maybe IS NOT the best, but it simply works for me at this moment.
changed file: advanced_forum.naked.post.tpl.php around line #68

original:

    <div class="forum-post-panel-sub">
        <?php print $author_pane; ?>
    </div>

fixed with:

    <div class="forum-post-panel-sub">
        <?php print author_pane_get_block(); ?>
    </div>

No, that's definitely not a good method and won't work right if you're using Node Comments. If you're using core comments, it's a work-around but a better fix needs to be found.

Michelle

i agree totally! But need it just now. And that my "fix" is not 100% working - normal author_pane's block has to be in some region :(

karlos007 opened an issue over at #882608: Collision with Advanced Forum, but I'm extremely skeptical that Node Reference URL has anything to do with the problem. The module is 100% a CCK widget. It doesn't affect anything outside of the Node Reference field on which it is applied.

Yeah, I really have no clue as well. The Author Pane is added via a call to the AP theme function during the node and comment preprocesses. As long as NRURL not preventing the node preprocess from running, which I find highly unlikely, I can't see any reason why this would happen.

Michelle

Same at me - I tried to read codes of all 3 modules(AF, AP, NRURL) and do not have any idea. But it is doing that problem for me. Tried to switch on and off module by module and having this problem whenever i try that combination. I do not have any CCK field at "forum" post.

I have the same problem with Node Reference URL Widget. See #882608-2: Collision with Advanced Forum

Clarifying the title. Not sure there's anything else I can do here. I don't know how NRURL could possibly be interfering here.

Michelle

Without more info, there's nothing I can do here, sorry.

Michelle

After upgrade to Advanced Forum 6.x-2.x-alpha4 this issue no longer exist. Still don't know what was causing the issue though.

I experienced a similar issue, but on my side it was solved using a different author pane in the panels menu. I can add an author pane from MISC. But that won't work. I can add one from Advanced Profile Kit Section / and that will work.
