Moodle forum+mysql 5 = No news has been posted yet

I run lates stable moodle on my Debian Sid machine. After a system upgrade mysql 5 was installed instead of mysql 4 (due to security reasons I belive).

However, after that, forum doesn't work properly. When I add a new post i doesen't appear in forum discussions. The post can only be viewed from the course site were "latest news" can be seen.
Unfortunatly "older news" can't be viewed.

Is there a known incompabillity between mysql 5 and mod forum?
Anyone else who got the same problem?

Hi Lars-Erik,

I can confirm that this doesn't work on my MySQL5-based Moodle installation.  I did a new install of Moodle yesterday and my forums won't display new discussion topics.  They are in the system (e.g. in 'new forum posts') but are not displayed under the appropriate forum.

Please post any more info here and I will try to do the same.

Im not an expert in MySql (not even close...) but could it be this "bug" in MySql: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=13551

There seem to be a workaround...

The Error message reads:

Unknown column 'd.usermodified' in 'on clause'

SELECT p.id,p.subject,p.modified,p.discussion,p.userid, d.name, d.timemodified, d.usermodified, d.groupid, u.firstname, u.lastname, u.email, u.picture , um.firstname AS umfirstname, um.lastname AS umlastname FROM mdl_forum_discussions d, mdl_forum_posts p, mdl_user u LEFT JOIN mdl_user um on (d.usermodified = um.id) WHERE d.forum = '10' AND p.discussion = d.id AND p.parent = 0 AND p.userid = u.id ORDER BY d.timemodified DESC

Is it possible that it should be (Based on the "bug" in MySql) :

SELECT p.id,p.subject,p.modified,p.discussion,p.userid, d.name, d.timemodified, d.usermodified, d.groupid, u.firstname, u.lastname, u.email, u.picture , um.firstname AS umfirstname, um.lastname AS umlastname FROM (mdl_forum_discussions d, mdl_forum_posts p, mdl_user u) LEFT JOIN mdl_user um on (d.usermodified = um.id) WHERE d.forum = '10' AND p.discussion = d.id AND p.parent = 0 AND p.userid = u.id ORDER BY d.timemodified DESC

I cant find the file (Im a newbee u know) so I can´´t test it myself...is it lib.php in mod/forum?

Hi Max,

Adding those brackets seems to work.  Thanks for the research.  The file to modify is mod/forum/lib.php.  Search for 'forum_get_discussions' to get to the function.   The lines to modify are  about the 56th and  58th.  I've copied this section of the function below to show where I put the brackets.

    //TODO: there must be a nice way to do this that keeps both postgres and mysql 3.2x happy but I can't find it right now.
    if ($CFG->dbtype == 'postgres7') {
        return get_records_sql("SELECT $postdata, d.name, d.timemodified, d.usermodified, d.groupid,
                                   u.firstname, u.lastname, u.email, u.picture $umfields
                              FROM {$CFG->prefix}forum_discussions d
                              JOIN {$CFG->prefix}forum_posts p ON p.discussion = d.id
                              JOIN {$CFG->prefix}user u ON p.userid = u.id
                                   $umtable
                             WHERE d.forum = '$forum'
                               AND p.parent = 0
                                   $groupselect $userselect
                          ORDER BY $forumsort $limit");
    } else {
        return get_records_sql("SELECT $postdata, d.name, d.timemodified, d.usermodified, d.groupid,
                                   u.firstname, u.lastname, u.email, u.picture $umfields
bracket here ->       FROM ({$CFG->prefix}forum_discussions d,
                                   {$CFG->prefix}forum_posts p,
bracket here ->           {$CFG->prefix}user u) 
                                   $umtable
                             WHERE d.forum = '$forum'
                               AND p.discussion = d.id
                               AND p.parent = 0
                               AND p.userid = u.id $groupselect $userselect
                          ORDER BY $forumsort $limit");
    }

Thanks! Forum discussions works perfectly.

In my Debian install, the rowes to be modified in /usr/share/moodle/mod/forum/lib.php, are rowes 1296-1298.

Hi there, I was having the same problem with the Forums, then I added the brackets and it works fine. Problem Im still having is when adding a new course, I get the message:

Serious Error! Could not create the new course!

I moved to a new server, and using MySQL 5

Any ideas please?

Many thanks

There have been several problemas with MySQL 5.x when the STRICT_TRANS_TABLES flag is on. You could check your my.cnf file and see if this is the case.

Saludos. Iñaki.

This fixed it for us as well - thanks for tracing the error.

I've posted it as bug 4875 so hopefully it can be fixed in 1.5.3 as well as in the development code. Please "vote" for that bug to be fixed if it has affected you!

Martin,

Does this fix also apply to 1.6dev?

i.e. as far as you know, will MySQL 5 work with 1.6dev?

Thank you.
