This is exactly what I did to cause the fault:

- Fresh install of VBB
- Installed vbAdvanced
- Installed LDM
- Went into admin cp and added one top level category which added correctly
- Attempted to add another top level category which did not add correctly

When trying to add the top level category this is the page it goes to:

mydomain.com/local_links.php?action=addcat&catid=-1

And this is the error message:

Category does not exist.

Go Back

I know the category does not exist; its supposed to be adding a new top level category I would appreciate any insight anyone could give.

Should I try a full remove and reinstall and see if that does it? Using the "Kill LDM totally" script mentioned here http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...g_LDM#Removing ?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the detailed report, and sorry to learn of your problems. I cannot reproduce this error on my test system - I set up a empty database and followed your path, but everything seemed to work fine.

It really shouldn't be necessary to uninstall and reinstall - this should just work out of the box. Any chance of taking a look at your site? I'd like to get to the bottom of this. Send me a PM.
