  content doesnt show after adding a new content page

  Hi, I just added a new content page to an existing course, and then moved the page up above on of its siblings - at this point Atutor returned a blank page - tabs etc are there, as is the label saying Home etc, but no sidebar, no calendar, nothing. If I go to manage and creat create content I get the usual window, and if i click on properties I see a hierarchy of just welcome to Atutor (which was therebefore, and introcution to the course, but none of the other content - at the bottom of the page is :
  
  //<!-- var selected; function rowselect(obj) { obj.className = 'selected'; if (selected && selected != obj.id) document.getElementById(selected).className = ''; selected = obj.id; } function rowselectbox(obj, checked, handler) { var functionDemo = new Function(handler + ";"); functionDemo(); if (checked) obj.className = 'selected'; els
  
  Mysql still appears to have the content within it
  
  so what has happened?? I have never had a problem moving vcontent around before - is this just a db glitch? Can I fix it - I was doing the final tweaks before serving the course on wednesday!
  
  Any help greatfully received at this time

  Re: content doesn't show after adding a new content page

  Ok - have solved it I think- looking the AT_content table my main content area for this module had given itself the same content_parent_id as all the other sub-content pages so impossible to generate a sensible hierarchy so it fell over.I don't know how this happened though? fixed by typing in the correct content_parent_id - could this have happened by accident or is it a potential bug - if so it may need something to stop it happening for others. I am positive I didn't do this deliberately as I was working on content one hierarchy below the problem?

  It should not be able to happen by accident. See if you can reproduce the problem.
  
  There was a problem with pages loosing there parent/child relationships back many versions ago, but we haven't seen that happen for quite some time. We never did figure out why it was happening. Possibly something database related. It just went away as both Mysql and PHP advanced.

  Re: content doesn't show after adding a new content page

  Hi Greg, thanks for the reply,
  I have moved the content again with success, but I wonder if it was because i originally moved it multiple steps through it's siblings before saving? This time I moving it one at a time just as a precaution - I will try it again on a separate test course I have running and see if I can repoduce the error. (doesn't matter if I break it!) will hava look through the error logs on the server also incase it was due to an odd http request
