Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/19562 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: forum.module Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: joe@www.joepilot.net Reported by: joe@www.joepilot.net Updated by: joe@www.joepilot.net Status: active This is a problem I've been trying to figure out for a while, but have gotten almost nowhere. For starters, I am using PostgreSQL in case that is an issue. In any case, when I create a forum topic using the link in that forum, the tid is not recorded when the topic is created. Thus, the topic is created with a tid of 0 and doesn't appear in any forum. I fixed this issue by adding the following code to the top of the "forum_validate" function. if (!$node->nid) { // new topic $node->taxonomy[] = arg(3); } else { $node->taxonomy = array($node->tid); } This takes care of adding topics to forums using the link on the forum page. It is just a little hack for now and is not meant to fix the core issue. Unfortunately, the taxonomy selector is still not shown and if the user selects "forum topic" from the "create content" menu, they may create a forum topic that isn't in a forum. This may stem from a PostgreSQL issue with the taxonomy module. This seems to be an issue with any module that deals with it's own "private" taxonomy, as in the forum module and the new image module. joe@www.joepilot.net
