Hi there,

I left some questions on the category module project page but did not get an answer, I,m trying here because I'm getting really desperate.

I really want to use category module on my site but it seems I just can't update my forums properly as they don't seem to play very well together.

Ok si here is what I did:

Installed category module and the activated wraper module... At that exact moment my forum module was showing as empty even though I did not even transfer the taxonomy to category yet.

If I disable the wrapper module, my forum containers are back in their place.

I tried to transfer the forum vocab to category module by using category legacy module, and the transfer is actually done... I selected to redirect the paths to their new paths and also to redirect the aliases...

Once again the forum module shows empty like if they were no containers or categories...

I tried then to reinstall the taxonomy wrapper module, does not work, forum module does not recognize the new location of it's terms...But the terms are there, there are just not connected to the forum module.

I also tried to transfer the forum terms to the category module without redirecting anything and still the forum shows as an empty module...Even though the terms are clearly there.

What are the solutions to this upgrade problem??

Should I continue to use the forum with the taxonomy module only and redirect all other vocabs to category module?? Seems to me not to be a good idea since I need the taxonomy wrapper module and the forum does not work with the taxonomy wrapper module.

As you can see I am pretty confused about this upgrade, and would really appreciate some input by someone who succesfully transfered a forum from taxonomy to category module?

Additionnal question:

How come when I enable taxonomy wrapper module the module stops showing the terms in the forum admin and the forum home page, was not taxonomy wrapper made to interact between category module and the other modules that need taxonomy??

Any help appreciated

Since the forum module does not recongnize forum containers and categories that have been transfered to the category module, is it possible to simply take those containers from the category tables and insert them directly in the forum module tables directly in the database??

Thanks

Hi,

Yes I did read the thread but it explains how to work category module with forums on a new installation, but as far as I can see it does not explain how to pass from taxonomy to category module with an already active forum that has vocabs and terms already defined...

But maybe there is something I missed on the other thread... Actually I made it work no problem on a fresh install the problem I have is with a forum that already has all the terms configured.

Thanks for the answer
