hi guys
ok this 1 is confusing
1st off i use sitebuilder
on www.dreadlockssite.com front page 1/2 way down theres the forums lists
random featured only shows the title and excerpt from 1st post..as it should be and as the latest forum post shows
random all forum posts shows some post titles and excerpts and some reply comment excepts!

front page codes
latest
{jrCore_list module="jrForum" order_by="forum_updated desc" search="forum_profile_id = 13827" limit="10" template="my_forum_list.tpl"}
random featured
{jrCore_list module="jrForum" order_by="forum_updated random" search1="forum_profile_id = 13827" search2="forum_featured = on" limit="10" template="my_forum_list.tpl"}

and random non featured
IMPORTANT NOTE - i cloned featured random and simply removed featured from title and featured search from code
{jrCore_list module="jrForum" order_by="forum_updated random" search1="forum_profile_id = 13827" limit="10" template="my_forum_list.tpl"}

and my custom template code
{jrCore_module_url module="jrForum" assign="murl"}
<div>
    {foreach from=$_items item="item"}
    <div class="frontpageforumpost" style="overflow:hidden;margin-bottom:12px">
        <div style="float:left;padding-right:12px;">
            {jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrUser" type="user_image" item_id=$item._user_id size="xsmall" alt=$item.user_name class="action_item_user_img iloutline"}
        </div>
        <div>
            {if $item.forum_pinned == 'on'}
                <h2><a href="{$jamroom_url}/dreadlocks-forums/forum/{$item.forum_cat_url}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.forum_title_url}">{$item.forum_title}</a></h2>
            {else}
                <h2><a href="{$jamroom_url}/dreadlocks-forums/forum/{$item.forum_cat_url}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.forum_title_url}">{$item.forum_title}</a></h2>
            {/if}
            <br><span class="normal"><small>{$item._created|jrCore_format_time}, by <a href="{$jamroom_url}/dreadlocks-forums/forum/{$item.forum_cat_url}">{$item.forum_cat}</a> </small></span><br><div class="forummainpagelisttext">{$item.forum_text|jrCore_strip_html|truncate:300}<p><br><div class="forumreadmore"> <div class="item"><a href="{$jamroom_url}/dreadlocks-forums/forum/{$item.forum_cat_url}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.forum_title_url}">read more</a></div><div class="item"> Replies {$item.forum_post_count}</div></div> </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    {/foreach}

</div>

so how can the 3rd call to the same template result in a diferent way of displaying the posts?

only thing diferent was the fact i cloned it, 1st time ever doing that

Titles do appear on some of the posts under "Random All Dreadlocks Forums Discussions".

When I click a "read more" for one of those posts (with a title) I can read the article, But when I click a "read more" for one of those posts without a title I get a 404 Not Found.

So I would guess that the difference is with the posts, not the jrCore_list call or the template?

Put a debug in the template to see what the differences are.

Yes, as you can see, those variables are missing in the posts that are acting up.

Search one of the problem posts for forum_cat in the debug you posted, it isn't there. You can try checking for it in the database as well, it probably won't be there either.

not sure the best way to find it without even knowing the post titles
but why is it even pulling in posts without thse these shouldnt be recognized as posts since i am pretty certain they are replies to posts, not posts themselves
if you read the excerpts they all seem to be replies

yea, every last 1 of those is replies
im thinking its a bug in the call or the cloning process, or who knows

this part of the template
  {if $item.forum_pinned == 'on'}
                <h2><a href="{$jamroom_url}/dreadlocks-forums/forum/{$item.forum_cat_url}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.forum_title_url}">{$item.forum_title}</a></h2>
            {else}
                <h2><a href="{$jamroom_url}/dreadlocks-forums/forum/{$item.forum_cat_url}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.forum_title_url}">{$item.forum_title}</a></h2>
            {/if}
seems entirely poinless as the if and else both do the same

soaringeagle:not sure the best way to find it without even knowing the post titles
You can find them by their id.
soaringeagle:im thinking its a bug in the call or the cloning process, or who knows
It's because the replies are different - they don't have titles pr categories so that information can't be displayed.

If you want to not show any of the items which don't have a title, you could try something along these lines:
search="forum_title not_like %_%"

when you create a forum list, you must specifically get the forum TOPICS - not all entries, since most are going to be follow up entries ON a topic. You need to add an extra search condition:

{jrCore_list module="jrForum" order_by="forum_updated desc" search1="forum_profile_id = 13827" search2="forum_post_count > 0" limit="10" template="my_forum_list.tpl"}

Only topic leader posts have a "forum_post_count".
