"Add New Forum Topic" link disappears when Advanced Forum is enabled.

Did you upgrade from D6 or you have clean D7 install?

The original 'Add new forum topic' link is removed by AF and recreated as 'New topic' button/link. If it is not visible on page and permissions are correctly set it could be style/template problem.

Try to do clean install without FA and related modules with default themes/styles and check if problem persists.

Hi

I've got the same issue.
The link "Create New Topic" does not appear if AF is enabled.
I disabled this AF and the links appears again.

Don't know exactly what could cause this issue :(

#1197964: Post new forum topic - link missing

Still not working with the Drupal 7.8 and dev version of AF

My ugly hack:
File /includes/advanced_forum_preprocess_forum_list.inc

$variables['node_create_list'] = theme('advanced_forum_node_type_create_list', array('forum_id' =>0 )); # vanhack
 #know-how from theme.inc $variables['node_create_list'] = theme('advanced_forum_node_type_create_list', array('forum_id' => $forum->tid));

File styles/naked/advanced-forum.naked.forum-list.tpl.php

<?php if ($node_create_list): ?>
    <div class="forum-node-create-links forum-node-create-links-top" style="padding:0;margin: 0;"><?php print $node_create_list ?></div>
<?php endif; #vanhack from advanced-forum.naked.topic-list-outer-view.tpl.php ?>

Michele says: You don't need to hack the module. It can all be done via preprocess and theming.
I was in a hurry with this quick fix, but a clean fix is more than welcome

Try this:

1. If Forum Access module is installed:
1.1. Try to rebuild permissions.
1.2. Try to disable/uninstall FA module.

2. Check your node_type table and report back with 'Forum topic' row (type, base and orig_type columns).

Thank you for your quick reply

1. I don't have Forum Access module enabled

2.See printscreen attached.

Looks ok.

I have some ideas for debugging. Contact me privately if you want to help me trace the problem.

I'm having the same issue. I tried disabling everything that AF doesn't require and the link still doesn't appear. I'm using a clean D7 install.

.... help?

check answers #9 and #11.

I don't have FA installed and I have no idea how to check my node_type

same problem here. No upgrade from D6
D7 freshly installed. When i enable AF the ADD forum topic button is gone. When i disable AF, the button is back.

Just as an FYI since the title here isn't specific, AF deliberately removes it from the main forum listing but it should still show on individual forum topic list pages.

Michelle

All i see in the individual is the reply button. i installed the DEV edition, and even in that edition no button showing up 'add new topic'.

The button came back in my case after I removed most modules, deinstalled them. And reinstalled again.

Odd.

I just uninstalled AF and then reinstalled it. And, lo, the button appeared to me.

Did anyone tried rebuilding permissions?

Rebuilding permissions did not do the trick for me.

Just signed up to say I found a fix for this, at least that worked for me. This expounds on post #20's solution, which worked.

Go into the Module Administration page, disable Advanced Forum, then go to the UNINSTALL tab and actually uninstall the module. Now go back and install it fresh.

Content remains but settings are reset, and the New Post buttons came back for me after this.

I did the same as #23 and worked for me as well.

I tried #23 and it didn't work for me. There is still no New Post button.

I ran into this issue as well. I tracked down the issue to a views preprocess function that had a conditional not allowing those buttons to show.

There is a variable called advanced_forum_forum_disabled that gets set by a page manager task. Since this view can be used without page manager, the conditional looking for this page manager task disabled variable should not be in the views preprocess function. I've submitted a patch that fixes this.

Tom

Hello Tom,

Could you please tell me exactly which line in which file the patch should be added?

Thanks

Hi Martha,

You can apply the patch by downloading the patch to the root of the advanced_forum module and then typing:

patch -p1 < advanced_forum-fix_new_post_button-1218894-27.patch

For more details on how to apply a patch, checkout http://drupal.org/patch/apply/

Thanks Tom. Will do.

Above patch is wrong way to go. Please try attached patch and report back.

Patch from #31 is bad. Here is better one.

In my opinion, I think checking for the variable in a that conditional should be completely removed, which is what I've done in the patch on #27. That variable 'advanced_forum_forum_disabled' is used by page manager to determine whether or not page manager should take over a menu callback via a menu_alter hook.

Unless I'm missing something, we shouldn't even be using that variable in the views preprocess hook, because that template is used as default implementation without using page manager. This bug only pops up when you enable the page manager page for forum, and then disable the page. The variable doesn't get updated properly

Your patch fixes another issue, which is setting that variable properly, but I still don't think that variable should be used in a conditional that has nothing to do with page manager.

You are right. I see no reason to keep that conditional in views preprocess function.
Next patch removes that conditional, fixes setting variable properly and updates variable if set to NULL.

I've committed above patch to 7.x-2.x-dev with many other Panels fixes.
