Hi Again -
I'm trying to post tests to my forums..and they don't show up. Log shows I posted them but they don't show on the page / forums. I know I'm missing something or a table got messed up..but I don't know what. I don't want to have to redo my whole site. Help?

Publishing options?
Servus, Anna.
Just a trivial question: have you checked the publishing options for that user? Or, could it be the messages are hanging out in the queue, waiting for approval from some authorized user? Just a guess...

HI :)
Checked the que..not there. And I was posting them as admin so they should show, I would think. Good ideas though!
Do you also have the
Do you also have the categories.module installed? from the repository? I've only run into this when the vocabulary wasnt rebuilt after adding teh categories.module during testing.
Yes I do. What do you mean
Yes I do. What do you mean by rebuilt? That may be an issue and one I'm willing to look into. TY.
Solution found
I was just having this problem as well with Drupal 5.7 and figured out the answer so I thought I'd post it. It seems like a Drupal Forums bug. When a forum is created, a Drupal Category is automatically created for it. If you go to Administer -> Categories when you are having this problem you will see that "Forums" does not have anything in the "Type" field. Despite what it says when you "Edit vocabulary" for the Forum about the Type -> Forum topic being "affixed to the forum vocabulary," it appears it isn't at first. I fixed this by adding another content type (e.g. Story) and saving. This added the "forum topic" content type (along with the "Story" content type) to the "Forums" vocabulary, and I could see that it had been added on the Administer -> Categories page. Then I just deleted the "Story" content type and "Forum topic" remained attached to the "Forums" vocabulary.
Nah, tried it. Still broken.
Seems to be broken since adding bbcode and quicktags.
Still broken please help
The problem is that when the forum posts are added, the status flag is set to 0. If I manually update the table to set the status to 1 then the forum posts appear. I have the mod8 module installed but that has its own flag in its own table.
Baffled as to why the status is set to 0. This must be to do with publishing?
Got it, just don't know what to do
I wanted to create a super user that could post without being moderated. I found another article that said to create a mini module
called moderation_skip, and the crux of it is this code
[code]
function moderation_skip_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $teaser = NULL, $page = NULL) {
switch ($op) {
case 'presave':
if ($node->status != 1 && user_access('skip node moderation')) {
if (!user_access('administer nodes')) { // Don't reset for admins
$node->status = 1; // Publish the node.
}
}
break;
}
[/code]
But the node status is not being set to 1. Is presave the right $op to use? Any drupal bods spot the problem a mile off and make my life easier? Thanks in advance.
Thank you
This solved it.
