    • Discuss on a wiki produces "No forum indicated"

    Posted by Hans Saelens posts: 8 Belgium

    I enabled the discuss pages on forums option, and entered a forum name in the wiki settings. Now, on some wiki pages, when I press the discuss button, the discussion forum is opened, and on some wiki pages I get the following error:

    Error
    No forum indicated
    Go back
    Return to home page

    According to the documentation "Discuss pages on forums activates a discuss button on every Wiki page that takes users to a thread in the specified forum for that particular page.".

    Where can I specify the forum for a page? What could be the reason some pages produce the above error and some don't?

    HI!

    Did you create the Forum by clicking the :: next to Forums and Admin Forums?

    Make sure its created with the same name

    Ah, I thought the forum would be created automatically when a user started to discuss a page. Would it not be better to either:

    • create the forum automatically
    • only show the discuss button if a forum with the same name exists

    Meanwhile, I found what is happening. When first pressing the discuss button, a new thread is created in the default forum, and the user can enter a message...

    However, when somebody later on presses the discuss button, the "No forum indicated" message is shown, even though the forum and the thread exist.

    I can't find what is the problem. The lisk of the discuss button looks like this:
    tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=1&comments_postComment=post&comments_title=blablabla&comments_data=Use%20this%20thread%20to%20discuss%20the%20blablabla%20page.&comment_topictype=n

    The link contains the correct forumID, but tiki-view_forum.php gives an error as if it was not set... Any idea somebody?
