Here is an inconsistant BUG in the /bboard module.
If I post a message and later click on "Unanswered questions"
My new post comes up on the list. In one forum, clicking on
the post brings up:
*--copy
Cannot Find Topic
------------------
This page was called with a topic variable of "".
There is no bboard in the database with that
topic name. Either you have been manually
adjusting the URL (perhaps by cutting and
pasting) or something is seriously wrong with the
Greatest Networker Discussion Forums system.
*--endcopy
In another forum (topic) it works ok. But the URL
is NOT totally right.
Here is an example:
(li)(a href="ed-com-msg.tcl
?msg_id=00000I&topic_id=BobZ%20Test%20Topic&topic=")
This is question #3(/a)
Note that the topic_id is shown as the name
"BobZ Test Topic" --- It should be like this:
(li)(a href="ed-com-
msg.tcl?msg_id=00000I&topic_id=5&topic=BobZ%20Test%20Topic")This
is question #3(/a)
Here the topic_id=5 (A NUMBER) and the topic is "BobZ...."
THE FIX for this problem is editing Line 54 in
q-and-a-unanswered.tcl and adding &topic_id
before &topic
append rest_of_page "(li)(a href="[bboard_msg_url
$presentation_type $msg_id $topic]
")$one_line(/a) [bboard_one_line_suffix
$selection $subject_line_suffix]
"
This makes it (mostly) match Line 217 in q-and-a.tcl
append whole_page "(li)(a href="[bboard_msg_url
$presentation_type $msg_id $topic_id
$topic]")$one_line(/a) [bb
oard_one_line_suffix $selection $subject_line_suffix]
"
What is inconsistant is in Forum with ID #1 there
is no error even though the URL is WRONG. but
with Forum with ID #5 the above error page
appears. Go figure... -Bob OConnor
