[drupal-devel] [bug] "Welcome to Drupal" page won't disappear after first post & proper access permissions

[thehunmonkgroup]

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/23296

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      4.6.0
 Component:    base system
 Category:     bug reports
 Priority:     normal
 Assigned to:  Anonymous
 Reported by:  djsparks
 Updated by:   thehunmonkgroup
 Status:       patch

just some more details about this bug.  i'm having a very similar
problem where in certain cases, w/ the taxonomy access module
installed, the welcome page magically reappears.  i've traced it as far
as knowing that the pager_query call in node_page_default() (which is in
node.module) is getting screwed up when taxonomy access is installed. 
looks like it's returning twice the number of promoted nodes as there
really are when it sends the query to get the COUNT.  the pager then
includes links to more pages than there really are, and when you try to
go past the end, then you get the welcome message.  i'll post this as a
bug in taxonomy access module as well...

After successful setup, settings of access permissions, etc., site was
working fine--new setup welcome message was replaced with first post. 
However, next day, setup welcome message was back.


Access control for node module is enabled for anonymous users.  All
other permissions have been reviewed with no known conflicts.  Default
node is "node".  Clean URLs are enabled.

This issue seems to be a bug instead of a single incident.  After
looking at virtually every post on the support forums that seemed to
apply to this issue, I was unable to find a solution.  Upon uninstall
and new install, problem disappeared--for now.  No known solution to
the problem; in fact, no idea what the actual cause of the problem is. 
However, this is not an isolated incident.


No, the node_privacy_by_role module was not installed or in use.

please give us some more details:
What third party modules do you use?
What errors and messages do you se in the watchdog?
Do you have a backup system that might flush the database?


Marking this "normal", for critical should be read as "critical for
Drupal", and not as "critical for me"

Perhaps the attached patch will solve of some confusion. You could have
100 nodes in the db, and if none of them are promoted to the front
page, you get the welcome message. This patch would say 'No content is
currently promoted to the front page.' instead of acting like it's a
fresh install. Diff'ed against HEAD.
