    • Approved articles Disappear!!!

    Posted by sooeydoo posts: 68

    Hi,

    When I submit an article, being the admin, it comes on the page. But when my user submits the article, it comes into the submitted articles page. I go there and approve the submissions, but then they don't appear on the articles homepage or on the articles list.

    I went into the database, and they are all there, but they don't come on the website. Could you please tell me what could be wrong?

    I upgraded recently to 1.8 from 1.7 and it didn't run smoothly as there were some sql errors which I could not understand. But then admin's articles appear whereas approved user's articles are there in the database but don't appear on the site.

    HELP!!!

    Sooraj.

    Hi,
    I apparently got the same on 1.8.0 and 1.8 CVS so I asked others to test it, be sure to open a bug tracker if you get no more answers about that.

    And I figured out the reason...though I don't know how to rectify it.

    Anonymous authors get a NULL in the author field in the database, and even when approved, the articles get saved in the database, but do not get displayed.

    Whereas registered users and admin articles can be approved and displayed.

    Sounds like a coding mod is needed to set them to say Anonymous. Can you handle that, or would you like me to do that?

    Hi Damian & Chealer,

    Sorry, but I don't know any coding and that is why I'm using Tikiwiki. I figured that out from the database, so no idea how to code and set it right!

    And don't know to start a Tracker either!!!sad
