[2.1b] Bookmarking and editing returns error: "DiscussionController->Discussion not found."

Zhaan

Any idea what could cause this? This hasn't been a problem in the past, but now it happens whenever I attempt to bookmark or edit a thread.

I don't think I've made any significant changes as of late, either. ><

beta issues like this should really be done on github.

first issolate the issue by disabling any plugins.

I don't get that error, so as @x00 suggests, disable plugins and see if that has any effect.

Go back to the default Vanilla theme and see what happens.

great advice by @x00 and @whu606

-Debugging Checklist

• change theme to default
  • if problem goes away - check your theme for errors
  • if problem still occurs
    • disable plugins one by one
  • if problem is fixed - identify plugin and post question under offending plugin
    • if problem still occurs, download core files again.
      - if problem still occurs (no plugins and default theme) , file issue on github.
      - if problem is fixed - you made a change to core that caused the problem.

Thanks for the help guys! It turns out the error was caused by a plugin called SEOCompanion. I guess it's not compatible with 2.1b atm.

you might put a note about this under feedback in the plugin questions itself for SEOCompanion, if you already haven't already done so. - so we don't get lots of repeat questions.

@Zhaan what makes it not compatible in my understanding is the &$ before the Sender

I have been able to install and make work on 2.1 almost every plugin by simply removing the & from the functions and changing the version requirements or removing them.

public function Base_Render_Before(&$Sender)

public function Base_Render_Before($Sender)

SEO Companion has the &$ before the Sender, try removing it and see if it works.

you find these functions typically in the default.php or the class.pluginname.php of the plugin.

keyword almost. but its worth a try. and if it works another one fixed for 2.1

Almost is one great escape word eh? Almost Free, Almost there, it has great comforting ambiguity veiled in hope

I am working on a plugin that almost works

@Zhaan

and maybe a few other changes .
