Hey Robert,

I just tried this on the site and it seems to be working fine with the account that you provided here. Take a look at my screen shot here, http://screencast.com/t/sDJbl1ip

Did you use a different account to test this?

Hi Mark,

indeed, since a few hours I found a solution but I think you have a bit to do.
Why?
First, I removed all posts, categories and so on, after the fresh installation of your component.
After that, with no data, I got this message ever and ever again.
So I played back all your pre-filled tables from the saved SQL script I saved prior.
With your content as start condition I could work without any problems.
After my first own appended category I removed your test content and how you could it confirm:
Since then It works fine!

Kind regards,
Robert

Hey Robert,

Hm, I am not entirely sure what was removed but the only reason that I can think of that you are hitting these errors is because of the category ACL. Perhaps it wasn't set correctly?

Hi Mark,

propably to re-produce this issue, here my workflow to install your component and to prepare it, only with your backend:

1. Backup of the site database (With MySQL tools).
2. Execute the EasyDiscuss installer.
From the EasyDiscuss backend side bar choose the item:
3. POSTS and delete all of them with the REMOVE(DELETE) button.
4. CATEGORIES and delete all of them with the REMOVE(DELETE) button.
5. POST TYPES and delete all of them with the REMOVE(DELETE) button.
6. TAGS and delete all of them with the REMOVE(DELETE) button.
7. Append a few new own Types, Tags and Categories.

After that from the frontend it was not able to add any topic due the described issue here.
Propably other customers uses your component with another workflow, how I did it with the described workflow from my first reply of your answer and since then it worked well.
So don't remove any contents from your startup installation, first append your own things and then remove the test entries.

I mean, that's a problem with empty tables in the startup situation, when a customer like me wants clear tables.
Often I saw applications with conflicts at table relations, but I am not sure and I have no time to make a code review.

EDIT: I forgot to tell you, that very first I played a bit with your test content, to understand your very fine and usable component and the behaviour was exactly that what I wanted.
The trouble began with the completly remove of your test content...

Hey Robert,

Actually that was known issue, I have applied some fix in this file -> JoomlaFolder\components\com_easydiscuss\views\ask\view.html.php, can you give it a try now and see how it goes?
