This happens when you  view a category list of articles.  The error occurs once for each article under the category list. example you have 5 articles in a category you get 5 errors.

I get the same errors on my test server with no mods.

Any ideas how to solve this error?

Thanks

Give the same answer to you as in that topic, not a tp error but some thing else you have installed and use on your site.

The only thing installed on my test server is:

SMF version: SMF ver. 1.1.8
TP version: TP ver. 1.0 beta 3

I get the same errors on my test server with no mods as I do on the main site.

Using the default theme or any theme.

cexist is a variable in the Tportal.php file. I think it is looking at whether a category exist.

Try going into your categories. Create a new category and then delete if you don't need it.

Then remove those errors from your error log and see if they are gone?

OK, I went in and deleted all of my categories.  I setup one new category named New Articles.  I added two basic articles and set them under the new category.

I created a new menu under the menu manager.  Type was category - Item was  New Articles.

Now when I select this category in the block menu it displays the 2 articles but I get these two errors  - one for each article.

If I remove the two articles from this category and I select a category in the block menu I get the message telling me

No articles were found in this category.

But it does not create an error in the error log.

Please file this as a Bug and provide the details you just provided.  It will get looked into.

Let me know if you don't file this and I will.

It's a TP variable, but I am unable to duplicate the error.

[G6Cad]

I cant see that error in my logs eather

I get the same error, both with custom and default theme.
Same way he described.
