Hello all,

I have an odd issue with flexinodes I create. Every time someone posts in their blog, it shows up on the flexinode pages I have created, all of them. So "node" gives the same content as "node/employment" or "node/exhibitons" and, when the "create content" function is used, the created content does not appear on the node for which it was created, ever.

I cant seem to figure it out. I have tested this on multiple themes making multiple posts, and the issue persists, so I know its not a theme problem.

Thanks,

...but I still cant figure this out, nor can I find any suggestions anywhere.

I installed a new test site, with a new database last night, and the same problems occur.

Does anyone have ANY suggestions ?

I suspect it has to do with the path you are using.
Normally to access the content of a single node you would use either node/#, where # is the node id of the content, it would show when you create the content in the url. You can always go to administer -> content to find the list of all content created and click on the title to see the path.
If using path alias you could use the alias instead of node/#.
"node/employment" or "node/exhibitons" give the same output as node because employment and exhibitions are not valid "arguments" to node, so it defaults to it behaviour when called as node.

...I understand how it creates, and the path structure, however something is off.

For instance, if I navigate to the "create content" menu and add a new post to the "employment" section ( path: ?q=node/add/flexinode-6 ) the new post creates it's own node (path: ?q=node/21 ).

Then if I navigate to the the "content" menu and click on "employment" it sends me to ?q=node/employment, but the test post is not there, but all posts from blogs are.

As well, " ?q=node/flexinode-6 " returns with the same as above and "?q=flexinode-6" returns page not found.

So how did you make the content menu under navigation. It is not a standard menu entry (at least not on my site).

If you want to entry to point to a single node is should read something like node/21 for the path (the 21 will depend on the node you want to point to). If you want it to list all nodes of type flexinode-6, use either flexinode/table/6 or flexinode/list/6 for the path (the 6 will vary depending on the flexinode type)

That did it..... I didn't even think about flexinode/table/6 or list/6.

I was actually beginning to modify the forum module to see if I could get the results I was looking for, but now I don't have to.

I do believe the content menu item is a theme creation (but I could be wrong, because it shows up if I switch themes). However it helps me keep things a bit more organized until I am sure what I want to keep and what I want to weed out.

Thanks so much.
