Hi there,

I'm pretty sure I updated my development code to the latest code from the repository but I'm having a problem when I'm testing the forums and wonder if something is mismatched.  In mojoPortal.net\Notification.cs, there is some code in SendForumNotificationEmail that references a dataset with columns ThreadSubID and ForumSubID.  I've scanned the code and also the stored procedures and am not able to locate where these are set.  I went to CodePlex to check the latest code there and browsed the SchemaInstallScripts for the forums and can't find anything that returns these columns.  I used VSS (2010) to try to search for where they might be set in the entire solution and still can't find it!  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I am getting an error when I submit a post and the error is complaining that ThreadSubID does not exist.

Thanks,

Thao

Hi Jamie, thanks for pointing that out to me, it also showed me that I do NOT have the latest code in my development environment because I was trying to trace that class and never saw that comment, but I see that comment in the CodePlex version of the file.  OK, guess I better clean up my development environment and get things up-to-date.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Hi Jamie, just curious.  I actually started a custom forum module a few months ago so I based it on a version way back then.  I pulled Joe's code to my development machine a couple of weeks ago and so I'm sure my custom forum doesn't contain the latest changes his forum has.  I'm not an expert at this, so once I've already made my custom component, I don't fold in any of his later changes because I've already tested all my code and fear breaking it somewhere with no time to fix it for a deadline, but do you tend to do this -- check the change logs and somehow merge his changes back into your custom module?  I don't think I have a great process in place but our deadlines are tight and it's great to hear how others manage this aspect.

Hi Joe, thanks, and yes, I do clone your modules.  What I do is test my module at the same time I test your module, so I can compare the functionality in order to try to determine if a bug in my code might be happening in your code (and of course, I've never run into your code being buggy when my code was buggy!)  I think this is the first time that I hit a problem in my cloned copy that I couldn't figure out what was going on, so I went to your forum module to trace it to see where I might've done something wrong in my copy, and then I ran into this problem with the ThreadSubID and ForumSubID error.  So both my cloned forum and the forum I have from mojo experiences this bug, but I really need to go through it a lot more closely and make sure I have the latest code.  I am now in the process of the manual copy and paste you mentioned, hopefully, I'll get down to the bottom of this in my cloned version.

thanks!
