Board structure corrupt: unable to find parent board
« on: February 22, 2009, 09:29:33 am »
Hi - following on from this old topic which described the problem but doesn't fix it for me
http://www.smfhacks.com/index.php/topic,2960.0.html

Edit that category and check to make sure that board parent still exists.
Mostly like you had posting enabled to a forum on an upload and then that board was deleted which resulted in that error.

I have a similar problem, but just with the standard Pro setup (v 1.3.10 on SMF 1.1.7 )

" Board structure corrupt: unable to find parent board "

My gallery is very simple: I have 6 categories (1 of which has a sub-catagory) and user galleries (2 only so far!)

if I edit each category to find the parent board I have to choose "none" in the drop down menu as most are on top level. I just can't remember if I started with a parent and then changed my mind, thus causing the problem!

How do I fix the problem without starting from scratch or messing up the links to images from messageboard posts? Thanks

ps I can access the database via Navicat app if necessary

When does this error appear and on what page?

Trying running admin -> forum maintenance -> find and repair any errors.

Thanks for prompt reply
Running "find and repair any errors" didn't fix it

I click on "add a picture" on all main categories, fill in boxes and browse for photo, then click "add picture" and get the error warning on a new error page. If I add a photo from a member gallery or a subcategory then I don't get an error. I suspect that I might have originally installed the gallery, and put all the categories under one main category, then decided change this to having all the categories at top level, but i just can't remember!

Interestingly, despite the error, photos DO get added, but the images total doesn't increase/increment ( this must put off users). If I use the "Bulk add pictures" option photos don't seem to go on and I get the same error message. What else could I try?

Ok. I think I know what it is double check by editing each category and see if you are posting new pictures to a forum as a topic. If so check that forum still exists or if you do not want it to post just set to blank.

This is probably causing the error since you are trying to post a topic to a board that no longer exists.

Bingo! I'm not posting a topic to boards, but after your suggestion I tried unchecking "Show link to main image page" + " image in posted topic" and that solved the error problem. re-checking it did not make the error return. I still have incorrect totals of images but it is incrementing the total. I'm not going to lose any sleep over that though!
