forum posts RSS fail

[smagnusson]

http://www.silverstripe.com/silverstripe-forum/rss is blank

traced back to some erroreous Post database rows on live (TopicID=0). they're all created in the span of 10 minutes, 5 rows in total (all other columns are null as well). i've attached a dump.

not sure what triggered this, but Post.php->RSSContent doesn't do any checking for the existence of certain objects, e.g. $myPost->Topic()->Title instead of if($myPost->Topic() ) $myPost->Topic()->Title

That's lovely and all but I still cannot subscribe to feed://silverstripe.com/silverstripe-forum/rss in Apple Mail, so can we remove these posts or whatever? :)

[ischommer]

hey sig, the posts were removed as of the date when my comment was posted, but apparently the feed broke again afterwards. i've removed another wrong post on the live site - so haven't really had time to investigate the root problem, just quick fixes.

DELETE FROM `Post` WHERE `TopicID` =0

matt, any ideas? this is an important issue, as it breaks one of the main points of contact between silverstripe and its community.

[ischommer]

matt, can you please spend your "opensource hour" next week on researching this issue?

I've added TopicID > 0 to the WHERE clause, which solves this problem, but we still need to find the underlying cause of why these posts are being created.

cheers andy :)

also, the rss entries have lost their links somehow: feed://www.silverstripe.com/silverstripe-forum/rss :/

[aoneil]
