I've been flailing and reading, but not getting anywhere. If I take AF completely out, the forum topics and comments are all there and things seem normal (they just look terrible, hence why we use AF). Once I put AF in, I start getting:

You are not allowed to post new content in this forum.

WD: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in forum_menu_local_tasks_alter() (line 179 of /home/hoslot5/public_html/modules/forum/forum.module).

Something to the effect of selecting the correct vocabulary in the settings, which i can't seem to find.

I'm in over my head.

Thanks!

I am a newbie also but ... did you check the permissions? Modules, Advanced Forum, Permissions ?

I know the feeling!

Now I need to make the forums available (visible) to authenticated users only (in case you're ahead of me there :-)

Hi Thanks! Yep, everything looks good there, and I even rebuilt permissions for good measure. I have a mix of admin only and user forums. When I uninstall advance forum, everything appears to work correctly. But....it's just 1000 x better with AF on. It was all working fine in 6x, I wish now I had left well enough alone lol.

I could tell you how to fix your problem if mine were working. For each container or forum, you can set very granular permissions depending on how each will be used. I think you can get to that page from your main forum page...I think. Sure wish I wasn't running blind.

I think that in upgrade process forum vocabulary changes its machine name to something like vocabulary_X (core forum issue).

I need to check if AF has hardocoded (forum) machine name somewhere.

Also, check other issues... it's been discussed few days ago.

Starminder, I solved my question of how to make forums available to authenticated users only:

Structure, Menus

then choose "User Menu" for the parent link. Update: argh! Not quite.

I hadn't considered making a private forum for a group (e.g., a committee) but your earlier post makes me curious about how one would do it. Haven't stumbled on that yet. I did figure out how to add attachments, in case that's of interest.

Update: just found this! http://drupal.org/project/forum_access :-)

@harmlessdrudge - thank you!! I think this is relevant to my issues, I had forum access in 6x and now do not. Chances are good that is at least part of my problem.

Edit: Just checking back in. I definitely needed forum access so thanks for the reminder, but unfortunately I'm still riding in the same hell boat with all 3 original problems mentioned in #1. I'm about to go rock in a corner or straight to the fetal position. I really need someone to save me from myself.

@Troky - Yep, machine name is vocabulary_207.

"I need to check if AF has hardocoded (forum) machine name somewhere."

Any suggestions on what to try next? thanks!

troky’s picture

What error(s) do you get now?

Have you tried to manually change machine_name to 'forums'?

Starminder’s picture

Yep, I did - but it didn't change anything. Am I supposed to be using a dev version from May 9? I saw that referenced in another thread discussing same/similar issues but i don't see it as available for download.

Now noticing this in the log, too: Notice: Undefined index: node in advanced_forum_allowed_node_types() (line 1098 of /home/hoslot5/public_html/sites/all/modules/advanced_forum/advanced_forum.module).

Also, in schema am seeing this as a mismatch:
forum_index
indexes forum_topics:
declared: array('tid', 'sticky', 'last_comment_timestamp')
actual: array('nid', 'tid', 'sticky', 'last_comment_timestamp')

Status: Active » Closed (works as designed)

After investigation of user's particular issue conclusion is that this is not AF issue at all but corrupted/messed data in D6->D7 upgrade process.

Starminder’s picture

Thanks again for your help! It appears not only core forum has upgrade issues, but comment as well :/

harmlessdrudge’s picture

Starminder, I haven't had these problems with a D7 from scratch installation.

I was hoping someone would reply here: http://drupal.org/node/1157248 but nothing doing so far.

(I'm using forum access so far without any problem but I'd like to have some facility for group permissions that was a bit more flexible.)

Can anyone elaborate on this? I'm having this problem with a site upgraded (with considerable pain) from D6 -> D7 and I'm trying to decide if I need to trash the upgrade (ouch) and take another run at it with a fresh install.

@pauln60: AF doesn't hold any data outside of settings. If you are having issues with it after an upgrade, just uninstall it and re-install it. The only thing you'll lose are your settings, which are easily replaced. Your forum data itself is stored in core Drupal and unaffected by AF.
