1. I added a whole long list of topics to a site. They show up in the topics.pl page and the search dropdown and in admin. But not in the story submission dropdown, which only lists Linux/News/Slash/Journal (I deleted Slashdot, and it is indeed missing from that list). 2. Mailbombing of site stats and daily headlines. Happened on both of my sites that are on 2.2. I realized that slashd was running in PST, not UTC. Changed that just now. Am wondering if that was the problem. Slashd.log complained about the time when it was running adminmail, saying: 005923263) adminmail.pl 7 6 * * * none Thu Nov 15 23:07:43 2001 adminmail.pl end (1.11s; adminmail.pl 1005923263s late)Thu Nov 15 23:07:45 2001 adminmail.pl begin Thu Nov 15 23:07:45 2001 Send Admin Mail Begin Thu Nov 15 23:07:46 2001 Send Admin Mail End Thu Nov 15 23:07:46 2001 error: entry_time in the past, check TZ (1005919620 < 1005923266) adminmail.pl 7 6 * * * none dunno if that has anything to do with it. We'll see tomorrow now that it's correctly running in UTC. 3. When submitting a story and clicking Preview, the topics drop-down is completely gone! Nothing there. It has the section pulldown though. After clicking Submit, it then says it submitted, but the commit fails due to an SQL error, topic ID cannot be null. Well obviously.... but why isn't the topic list showing up??? None of the submit templates were modified. This is only happening on one site, the other is fine. I'm gonna hit the code to try to figure this out, but if anyone has ideas I'd appreciate it!

With 2.2, topics belong to a section, and the behaviour of standalone/part of site sections is different than in previous versions. I have yet to completely understand how all of this works, but I suggest you have a look at it. For example, did you put your new topic in the 'Articles' section? -- Alessio F. Bragadini al...@al...

So you have to select each section that a topic can appear in!!? That kinda sucks. I want all topics to be able to be in any section. -- Like to travel? http://TravTalk.org Micah Yoder Internet Development http://yoderdev.com |

Alessio's suggestion fixed #1 AND #3! Now my only big issue is the mailbombing... -- Like to travel? http://TravTalk.org Micah Yoder Internet Development http://yoderdev.com |
