Topic: Deleted post still showing (phantom post)

I hope someone can help me. I'm sure it's something I've overlooked, but I can't find a solution.

A post that appears to have been deleted from the db is still kinda showing up. The actual post is gone,
but a reference, placeholder, if you will, is still showing up on the site: http://www.raticals.com/img/phantom.jpg

What am I missing?

Thanks in advanced smile

Re: Deleted post still showing (phantom post)

If you mean the last post entry, how did you delete the post? It looks like update_forum wasn't called.

Re: Deleted post still showing (phantom post)

have you tried to clear cache in the admin options with the cache mod?
it will clear threads and cache files.

some ap mods are listed here at the bottom!

Quaker, I had the ap mod installed and should have mentioned that I tried it.

Smartys, it appears that a member made a post, deleted it, which deleted it from the db, but it's still showing up. I'll check my code to see if there's some place where the function isn't being called.

I'll let you know if I get it working.

Re: Deleted post still showing (phantom post)

Yeah, in an unmodded copy of PunBB it should always be called.

Re: Deleted post still showing (phantom post)

Found the problem. It wasn't actually just the function not being called, but I inadvertently wrote over files that had code for mods in them, causing them not to work. So, after a lot of troubleshooting and patience...I know what the problem is...now I have to actually fix it lol.

Thanks for the help.
