In cases like this, if you do a view source there's probably an ERROR in there someplace.

I know, there's another thread (http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 374.0.html). There's no error, the page seems to be loaded incompletely.

Update:

Oh great, looking into my SQL database I just realized all my news entries have disappeared! Love it...

[Ted]

No one has ever complained of that one before.  I did an upgrade recently of 0.10(3?) to latest and all of the news items are there.

I wonder if something else is going on.

[Alex_Leipzig]

So, what could we do? Where could we start searching? The News module is crucial for my site.

[Ted]

Well, first things first.  Is there a backup you can restore?

[Alex_Leipzig]

Sorry for being a bit rude.
Yes, there is a backup. But somehow the table structure seems to have changed meanwhile. SQL refused to insert the data due to some structure difference (column doesn't exist or something).
Maybe it would be sufficient to restore the old table structure of 0.10 and then import the data?

[Alex_Leipzig]

No, there's no upgrade link...
C'est quand même bizarre!

[Ted]

Ok, here is how I would go about this.

1. Uninstall the 0.11.2 News.
2. Download 0.10 (or whatever version you upgraded from)
3. Copy just the News module out of it and drop it your 0.11.2 install
4. Restore the 2 news tables
5. Copy the News module for 0.11.2 over the old one
6. Hit upgrade.

I'm not sure why it didn't work originally.  This is definintely the first problem I've heard with it, and it's kind of frustrating.

[Alex_Leipzig]

Wishy, thank you very much. I will try that asap and tell you more about it. Oh, which two tables do you mean? Currently there are the following in my database:

  cms_module_news
  cms_module_news_article_categories
  cms_module_news_categories
  cms_module_news_categories_seq
  cms_module_news_seq

[Ted]

Oh, you're right.  I would say do all 5, even though article_categories isn't used anymore (actually, I never thought that went into a production release).

[Alex_Leipzig]

later today, when I'll be at home, I will try to recreate the problem.
would be good to find out what happened (in order to solve, avoid same situation, and warn)

so alex (oui c'est bizarre )
when you said you did the upgrade to latest, is it latest stable? (0.11.2) or is it betaversion 0.12beta1 (now 2) ?

to latest stable - 0.11.2

what are environement specs (windows/unix, IIS/Apache, php version, which database: mysql? other? version etc.etc.)

see my signature en plus, i use mysql version 3.23.44.

and did you run the upgrade from install/upgrade.php,

yes, i did

and do you remember by any chance, the cmsms db schema version it had to go from/to?

unfortunately not

By the way all the news and other tables are unchanged.
