Promote to Article problem
HI folks, hope someone can help me out.
I am running a forum sidebar (using the everywhere sidebar mod) and I have a couple of blocks that pull the latest threads from a couple of different forums (one per block). The problem is as soon as I promote a thread to article the thread will no loner show in the sidebar block. I was running 4.1.12 and just updated to 4.2 and still have the same problem. I am at the end of my tether with this now. Threads show fine in the blocks its ony upon promotion they disappear |

What options are you setting on the Promote to Article page? (all of them, please - a screencap is fine)

HI Lyn,
I forgot to say I have been using the 'Use original Thread for Comments' mod. I have tried the inbuilt one but got the same result (after uninstalling the mod to avoid clashes). I have for clarity disabled the mod again and just tried to promote to article and same thing happens. the settings I used are: Keep original thread? Yes Move to comments forum? No All Comments? yes |

Once you promote a thread to an article, it is no longer a thread, it is a *comment* thread associated with the article. So, threads and posts in it will no longer show up in any new thread/post type widgets.

kind of makes sense I guess, I dont suppose you know of a way around it then? At present I am having to create a new article duplicating the content in order to keep the thread in my forum block widget but that obviously creates two sets of content and seperate comments.
I did used to run the advanced forum statistics mod and that would continue to show the original thread even after promotion so I guess theres a way somehow, just maybe not an easy one! |
