General help

Martin, I don't think it's an isolated problem. Here's another replication posted by Antti Immonen back in late Nov 2003:
http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=3762&parent=16703

I don't know whether his server is also a Sun box, but from Antti's description it is obviously something which happened in 1.2 which didn't exist before.

I have no experience with earlier versions, as this initiative began a few months ago in search for a backend having a flexible pedagogic structure, a multi-tiered authoring permissions structure tied to content sections, & the differentiator in current CMS-type backends: IE&Gecko based cross-platform WYSIWYG . Moodle seemed perfect for what might rapidly become an international portal focused totally on ubiquitous computing in K12 education through an organization heading into its 3rd year of existence...if I can get the thing to run on the university Sun box designated for this purpose I've sunk some serious hours into theme design, en-lang file changes to give Moodle a portal-type flavor which 'hides' the course-orientation, and new colorful icons. Apple has been an annual funder of the organization so far and they might be prevailed upon to contribute a G5 box in the future...but I've got to get this thing functioning now on the Sun box...it's driving me nuts, as I have it functioning perfectly on a Linux box.

Perceptual characteristics of the behavior:

• Can create categories and courses endelessly with no problems.
• None of the mods smoothly function for completion of postings to courses or to the main menu block.
• Any mod posting to a course, such as a forum, resource, label, or quiz will successfully post to the database despite error message, however only the correct icon next to the posting label will show with no label/link next to it, i.e. a user cannot select it. However, in edit mode, the posting can be brought up showing everything was captured whether an add or update instance.
  

So, the problem seems to occur in output back to screen of the mod label/link--capture of data works fine. Examination of the MySQL tables shows that whether an add or update, both name and content are correctly preserved, i.e. it only seems as though all was lost.

Of course, without display of the label/link for a posted forum, resource, link, choice, lesson, quiz, etc...there is no representation of the data safely stored

What makes the process for outputing courses and course categories back to screen (which do work) different from outputing mod course resources back to screen (which do not work)?? Might there be a very simple change to make them function the same?
