i've got my forum installed as it comes, in
/forum/default.asp
what i want to know is, can i rename this folder without crashing the board? ie
/yabbadabbadoo/default.asp
or will i have to go through the admin options and change stuff around first??
sorry, i'm a complete newbie... looking forwards to 343  |

ok, i changed the directory name, changed the path in admin, and its gone weird. even though the forums are showing post numbers, when i click on them i get "no topics found".
http://www.peppermintiguana.co.uk/cymrugothic
i swear there was content in there a minute ago 
also... slightly off topic...
if i make a post, then delete it, i get a pop up saying :
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Field 'FORUM_FORUM.F_LAST_POST' cannot be a zero-length string.
/cymrugothic/pop_delete.asp, line 300
hellp! i'm up the creek... |

Is this v3.4.x?
Do you have a Frontpage server extension web server? Sometimes the FP server extensions will screw up asp pages when you rename a folder containing asp pages (like Snitz). I wouldn't expect this to happen in v3.4 tho.

That's weird. Changing a folder name does not change the database contents. If you restore the folder name, what will happen?

You'll need to open your database in Access, open the FORUM_FORUM table in design mode and change the "Allow Aero Length" property of the F_LAST_POST field to Yes. |

version 3.4.2 (clean install)
yeah, i opened the database in access, and changed "allow zero length". that worked ok, but i got another similar error. fixed that, then got another similar error. in the end i had opened the database and "allow zero length" for every text field in FORUM_FORUM, and now it works fine.
regarding the disappearing topics, i don't understand it either, because i looked in the database and they are there, they just don't show up. i don't think its anything to do with changing the root folder name, because everything else seems to work fine. What i did in the end was delete the forums in question, and then put them back in, and now everything works ok.
sorry i can't be more clear about what is happening, as i'm new to asp so i don't really understand it.
maybe when 3.4.3 comes out the setup update and database update will solve this problem (because its probably something i've done)
thanks for your replies |

| What do you see in the "show topics from" pulldown menu? Maybe the posts are older than that? |

I've been there Dave and its weird, cause even the forum totals showed 0 for each forum. I verified the that "Show All Topics" was chosen and it made no difference... |

yeah, i tried "show topics from last x months", even though the ones that had vanished were from the previous day. still nothing. weird
anyhow, i've deleted/restored all the forums, updated forum counts, and it seems to be working ok now.
one day i'll understand it all :) |
