Hi,
I just installed newbb2 and convert my old forum,

I have a very very very strange problem, every time i make a search i have strange results,

In the results list almost all the result topics has no title, them you can't enter in these topics.

Browsing the forum i saw every individual post has the original topic title at the upper part of the template,
Well in SOME topics these title is missing,

Both things are pointing to the same problem, i assume something is wrong in the db or the conversion to newbb2.

Please i don't want loose around 14.000 topics in my board :(
I can view the topics, but the forum is not complete sercheable dued to that,
Bah, the script search but some title info is missing.

i will appreciatte any help, thanks in advance.

i was investigating the db , more specifically the bb_post table

and i saw some interesting things:

Take as example the post_id 14877 topic_id 474 and topic title is: mail configuration.

post_id topic_id subject
14877 474 mail configuration
14878 474 mail configuration
14879 474 mail configuration
14881 474 mail configuration

That is a fine db format because XOOPS asign the topic title to each topic reply.


In my case i see the following:

post_id topic_id subject
14877 474 mail configuration
14878 474
14879 474
14881 474 mail configuration

Then THAT explain why the title in some replys are missing, the info is not in the db :(
Add these info one a one to a 14000 topics forums is imposible


Now the million dollards question, exist any way to rebuild these info in a automatic way?

I now some forums as phpbb hace special scripts to rebuild the search database,
but this is not phpbb

Please Mithrandir or some expert user, exist any way to automaticly rebuild these missing info???

grettings.

What version did you upgrade to. It seems that the not being able to enter a forum was in a release some time ago and I assumed fixed in the latest release.

It used to happen to me in these forums, but have not had that problem in quite a while. I always use the site search feature so I cannot comment on the forum search.

I solve the problem, the error was in the phpbb to newbb1 conversion script,
Phpbb has a diferent way to manage the post titles, them i made some modifications in the code of the phpbb to newbb script with the help of a friend and now is all fine :)

Was a very hard work convert from x-phpbb to phpbb ,phpbb to newbb1 and newbb1 to newbb2 but now is all fine :) :) :)

grettings
