After I installed the "Node Comments" module and had 1 user added a comment, then all the other users including the admin user got a BLANK screen with the following error message when they click on the menu item "Recent posts":

Fatal error: Call to undefined function comment_page_new_query() in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\Drupal\drupal-5.1\modules\nodecomment\nodecomment_views.inc on line 250

Did I miss or do something wrong? Please advise. Many thanks in advance.
Phil

Project: Views (for Drupal 7) » Node Comments
Version: 5.x-1.5 » 5.x-1.0-beta

The location of the error message (modules/nodecomment) tells me this is a node comment issue.

Thanks for your advice. But do you know the fix? Is there any simple fix? Appreciate.

I have the exact same problem. It seems recent posts uses a function that isn't covered in by the node comments module (that's what I gather from that message)

I use views 5.1-1.6 , just updated to latest version.

If I find out more I shall follow up.

Just some more info.

The problem wasn't there when only the admin had made node comments. He could click on the "recent posts" just fine. Than a fake user made a comment, and now the admin and the fake user couldn't see the "recent posts" anymore, leading to the error described above.

Even more info : when I log out, the recent posts works fine...maybe this has to do with users / roles / user id (uid) ?

Allright, I got it to work now. Not sure *exactly* how and where it worked again, in between I closed the browser a few times and restarted.

This is what I think you should check :

* first delete all comments, and then check if the recent posts works (It should with all comments gone)
* Install latest views module (1.6 at time of writing)
* Then make sure the -tracker- module is installed (core module)
* Check access control and make sure new users are assigned to the proper role. Make sure that at least : access content, access comments, access all views are enables for everyone.
* Here is where I recommend cleaning all cookies and restarting
* Add comments with different users, start with admin, check recent posts, than with ordinary users, and constantly checking if recent posts work.

That should do it.

That doesn't solve it I am afraid, and so I had to dig deeper.

What isn't right is that in the Database, node_comments_statistics is incorrect : It says that my fake user , has 3 comments, and my admin has 0 comments. This is in fact not the case, 1 of those 3 belongs to the admin.

The plot thickens.

@Paintbox: thanks for your sleuthing =) The problem was really as simple as the error message, though: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function comment_page_new_query() " When a function doesn't exist it either means that a module or file is missing, or that there is simply a bug. In this case, it was a bug. The function probably existed at some time in development but got erased (leaving the reference to it behind). I've fixed this in beta3.
