Dear folks,

yesterday I did the following. After having created a new FCE and some
minor changes in existing templates (no renaming or adding of fields)
everything was ok in my local installation.

To bring the real thing up to date I then truncated the two tv tables
and and inserted the new data (uid still being the same). Nevertheless
the effect was that all CEs were unreferenced. As the site is quite
large, rereferencing all elements manually is a no go in my situation. I
had no other chance but rewinding the whole process by reinserting the
database dump of the whole site.

So here my question:
Why is it that all those references were lost? Where are those
references stored? I need an easy way to keep the DS/TO tables on the
same state in a couple of installations.

Do you have a solution for me?

Uschi

Unreferenced - you mean lost in Page module right? This is a separate thing. Most likely you canhed the field name for the content field (for example, from field_content to field_maincontent). Content elements are bound to their content field. If you rename that field, you loose references.

References are independent of DS/TO of FCE. You can remove DS/TO for FCE and it will not affect references in any way.

They are stores in "pages" table, in the XML field named "tx_templavoila_flex".

Hi Dmitry,

thanks for your quick answer.

Right, Dmitry. All the pages were just empty and when I then looked at
unused elements, all elements (normal CEs as well as FCEs) there. I did
not change any fieldname in any DS, so I still do not know what went wrong.

I know, and as far as I understand it, a ce is removed from the xml when
I 'delete' it. But as I did neither change the fieldnames nor 'deleted'
any CEs what can be the reason that all pages became blank?

Kind regards, Uschi

And how flexform looks like? You can click on the page tree and display flexform XML using popup menu. Check with several pages.

It is removed from xml when you *unlink* it (not delete).

The reason that it blank is that it is not included into current content field.

Firsts, check your flexform and find content field name. Second, find what DS you use for this page. Third check that this DS has that field.

I tried to reproduce the whole thing. When I first inserted my changed
DS/TOs I did that with phpmyadmin. This time I did it via shell, and,
alas, everything was perfectly alright! So I could not reproduce the
error. But next time it happens I will proceed like you said.

Thanks, Uschi
