Content Type settings override module output

Can you briefly explain what you mean by conflict, what configuration you have and what you are wanting to achieve. Cheers.

Author Taxonomy does override node variables (I should have simply known that without even having to think, its been a long week...), but the theme gets last crack at the preprocess function and variable setting so the modules work is overridden by the theme.

Give me a day or two, I'm going to re-factor how these node theme settings work - at the moment they are simply enabled all the time, but I'm thinking I'll make them optional so we don't interfere with modules that affect output like terms, links and submitted by stuff.

Marking this as a bug (although really its by design), its a pretty big WTF moment for site builders. You can overcome this by overriding the output in the subthemes template php file but that kinda detracts from what the theme is trying to do - namely to remove such coding necessities.

I have committed a fix to the DEV version - you can grab this from CVS right away or wait for the packing script to do its thing (only runs every 12 hours) and grab it on Monday arvo.

What I did was add 3 new settings so you can turn OFF the theme settings for Author and Date, Taxonomy Terms and Links.

There are a number of modules that modify these node variables ($submitted, $terms, $links) so if you want to use a module rather than the theme settings you can, simply by disabling the theme settings for each, respectively. This fixes the issue with Author Taxonomy and any other module that wants to modify the output of these variables.

E.g. if you want to use Author Taxonomy go to the Advanced Theme Settings and disable the Author and Date theme settings using the checkbox.

BTW - in fact what I did was disable these settings by default, you will actually need to enable them to use them, which imo saves a wtf moment when someone installs something like Author Taxonomy and it doesn't work as expected.

I've set this to needs review for the moment, be good to hear some feedback before releasing a new version with this feature.

Thanks for the report xerexes!

Yeah, that issues crops up now and then, I just clear all caches (using the handy link in the admin menu), seems to clear things up regarding the display of errors in any case, untill it hits randomly again.

I cant recommend any one at the moment - everyone I know is extremely busy (as are we actually), which is why we generally don't take smaller jobs - its always worth firing an RFP at us though, one of the guys could pick it up.

@xerexes - click Reset to Defaults button on the theme settings page, you need to this to rewrite the variables table and clear the theme registry so the info file is read again.

If you already created a sub-theme you will need to manually add the defaults to your info file, since these are new theme settings:

settings[submitted_by_settings_enabled]     = 0
settings[taxonomy_settings_enabled]         = 0
settings[display_links_settings_enabled]    = 0

These are in the DEV version of the theme, but not in 6.x-2.0.

Fixed ages ago, cleaning up :)
