I have instaled drupal 5.1 fresh, and pathauto 5.x-1.x-dev, and category pathauto 5.x-1.1 and leech 5.x-1.6 with Yahoo term extractor. Everything worked just fine in drupal 4.7x. Then since the 5.1 upgrade when leeching in feeds I get errors like this:

Illegal offset type in /home/site/public_html/modules/taxonomy/taxonomy.module on line 1151.

I have read bunches of posts and they all seem to say that this is a pathauto problem...and yet none of the posts (in this issues thread) seem to have a resolution. What can I do? My site is a total mess ever since the 5.1 upgrade - I wish I would have stayed in 4.7x until the modules were more mature.

This looks simillar so I won't open up another issue....

Here's the error...

    * warning: Illegal offset type in /home/zenmate/domains/domain.com/public_html/modules/taxonomy/taxonomy.module on line 1162.
    * warning: Illegal offset type in /home/zenmate/domains/domain.com/public_html/modules/taxonomy/taxonomy.module on line 1163.

    * warning: Illegal offset type in /home/zenmate/domains/domain.com/public_html/modules/taxonomy/taxonomy.module on line 1166.

Here's the observations...
When I remove the patched version of taxonomy.module supplied with localizer, the error persists
It only occurs if the node type has a taxonomy associated with it
The url alias is correctly created by pathauto and everything works well, except for the unsightly error above. Meaning that this may not be such a big problem in my case...

I have the latest official release of pathauto...which is by the way a most useful module. It reduces our workload so much. Thank you for the great work and module.

Hello - I'm not able to reproduce this issue as you've stated it. Can you provide a very simple set of steps involving the fewest contributed modules necessary that will cause the problem?

Any chance you are using scheduler/workflow?

jt6919 commented

no, I don't use scheduler/workflow. For me, I use leech. When parsing feeds (in) I get those errors.

aha!

So, it seems like there is a group of bugs that are all related - there's this one, one related to localizer, one related to category, one related to workflow/scheduler. Pathauto currently expects taxonomy to be in a pretty specific standard format so when it's not in that format pathauto freaks out. Sadly I'm not really aware of a solution aside from starting to use token module and then letting token module handle all these problems http://drupal.org/project/token ;)

I think I've fixed this for myself, though I haven't tested it extensively. Is this bug still present in 5.x-2.x-dev?

I don't know the steps to repeat this bug, so I don't know whether it is still present or not.

If you have the steps that cause this bug then I can repeat it. Then I can see whether it's still in 5.x-2 or not.

My guess is not, because stuff has changed very much, but perhaps it is.

Pardon me - I had forgotten that this error comes from leech module.

Even so, I believe that Pathauto 5.x-2 will fix it. Can either of you test that?

this seems to be fixed in 5.x-2 according to Dave N - http://drupal.org/node/143295#comment-242523

I'm marking it fixed, but certainly welcome more testers.

I know you marked this as fixed. I think I'm still seeing the same issue.

I upgraded to pathauto 5.x-1.2 and installed token 5.x-1.7.

I'm able to replicate this problem when I change an unpublish date for an existing node that uses taxonomy and scheduler, then I run cron. For the first hit to the site after that, errors similar to those above are what I see.

Please advise if you have any ideas or if I can help with additional info/troubleshooting.

Thank you.

Well, this same symptom shows up for two different bugs. One is solved - the other is open.

Solved (affects 90% of users): http://drupal.org/node/92900
Open (affects users who use scheduler or leech or...): http://drupal.org/node/123001

There is a patch on the open one. Please review it.
