I was successfully created a forum but for some reason, forum topics are not visible (attach) under their associated forums

Logon as admin:

1. I added a forum (let's say mine forum nid is 5)
2. On forum 5 (forum/5), I clicked on the 'Post new Forum Topic'
3. Then I added mine forum topic (node/add/forum/5) and saved the forum topic

Once I completed the above step, how can I attach the above forum topic (step 3) under forum/5 tree?

Thanks

I can create forums and forum containers, and see a list of them on /forum/

I can create forum topics with associated comments, and view them on /node/x. The forum topic's Categories>Forums option is set to one of my forum names.

Still, on /forum/ it says Topics: 0, Posts: 0, Last Post: n/a.

Deactivating taxonomy_access didn't change anything. All my permissions seem to set ok, everything is "published".

I'd really like to get a forum up soon. Thanks

tkrebs,

Were you able to resolve this problem yet? After hours of digging around, I was finally resolved this problem:

1. Logon as admin and go to Categories screen admin/taxonomy
2. You would see one entry called 'Forums', put your mouse cursor on top of the Forum's edit vocabulary: write down your forum vocabulary id (mine was 9: edit/vocabulary/9
3. Open your database through phpMyAdmin (I'm using MySQL)
4. locate your vocabulary_node_types table and making sure your forum vocabulary id was already there, if not, insert a new record with the corresponding forum id. Mine was:

vid: 9
type: forum

5. Also, making sure your vid existed in the vocabulary table as well. Mine was:
vid: 9
name: Forums
description: your forum description
help: null
relations: 0
hierarchy: 1
multiple: 0
required: 1
module: forum
weight: 0
language: null
tags: 0

6. Also, open your sequences table and making sure your vocabulary_vid (mine was set to 9) in sync with your vocabulary_node_types vid

Anyway, I had to create the entire new test website (forum was working fine on new created drupal website) and analyzed it behind the scene. Good luck with your website and please let me know if you couldn't able to resolve it.

trantt,

Glad you got your forum working. I found my mistake, I had i18n set to "show current language only" but the forum comments didn't have an associated language. Changing the setting to "show current language and no language" fixed the forum.

How did you do this? I think I have the same problem.

administer>settings>i18n>advanced settings, set to "Only current language and no language" or whichever makes sense for you.

I ended up taking away langauage settings on forum topics altogether by setting administer>settings>content types>forum topic>Multilingual Support -- Disabled.
