can't edit object assigned to root node (2)

Tuesday 07 August 2007 6:08:47 am

Still baffled by this one, folks, and looking for any help out there.

There's an additional problem, very likely related. If I'm embedding an object and choose to select an existion object, I get an error if I try to "go upstream" of node 2. Basically this call:

/layout/set/dialog/content/browse/1

returns an error, "The requested object is not available...."

What is causing all this?

Anybody?

Hi Kristof, long time no read ;-)

You know, I can't really answer that question for you right now, not with any real accuracy anyway. I do know that I first encountered this error condition after the upgrade to 3.8.8. And I do know that this condtion did not exist immediately after the upgrade to 3.8.6. But I cannot say if the condition appeared immediately following the upgrade to 3.8.8 or if it was already present at that time. Editing the root node isn't something we really need to do much, you see.

To more tightly localise when this might have first appeared, I'm going to have to play in some backups and check things out. Sadly, though, the disks I need are off-site in a vault and everybody who has access is currently away on vacation and will be for a while yet. (How's that for great planning at the boss-level ;-) ).

My guts are telling me that the problem has something to do with a node-assignment record disappearing, or something of that nature. It's definitely in the db, at any rate.

For what it's worth, I upgraded to 3.9.2 two days ago, and the condition persists.

Out of curiosity, how the heck is node 1 maintained in the DB. I can't find a direct assignment in any table anywhere. The closest I can come is finding it listed (correctly) as parent node of several others.
