Missing Internal Type Card Behavior+issues

If the card for an internal type is missing, when you create the card, it doesn't connect with the internal type.

 

This probably doesn't impact current code, but as it says in the example below, it is a problem when I tried to add types for CodeRay formatting.

 

Can't get to the example at the moment, but it sounds like one relevant question for Wagn installers here is: How do i turn on Ruby (or Script) cards? --John


It is related, I would think. Not sure if there is maybe an underlying bug too.

I found another aspect of this. If I want to make a regular card into a cardtype, this problem is triggered too. I was adding a Forum thing at FlowPlace, and I accidentally forgot to put the type "Cardtype" when I created the "Topic" card. In order to clear this, I had to first delete the card "Topic", then go into mysql and there was still a key for that in cards. I delete that record, restart the server, and then was able to create Topic correctly.

different issue: add extensions when cardtype is changed.

 

However, might be linked via solution: codenames.

I see your point, but shouldn't it have worked to delete the Topic card and re-add it? I mean it should add the extension when it is a "new" card, which it was when I tried again. I had to delete it and there was still a topic key in the cards table. I deleted that and then it was ok when I redid it.

deleting doesn't actually remove cards from the database, it just puts them in the trash. when you "create" them again, you're actually updating that trashed record, not creating a new record. But currently creating a new record is the only process that actually handles the extension.

So that's what "trash" means. I couldn't figure that out at first. That makes not adding the extension an even worse bug. I'm sure it has bit me a number of times before, but I didn't quite realize it yet.

closing. underlying issues not fixed yet, but I think they're addressed in tickets.
