related news stopped working, website # issues

For some reason, the releated news feature has stopped working for the 2 newest news items I've posted.

I rebuilt the search index twice but no help.

Related to this, any new news item I post is being stored in website #0, and not website #1.

I'm only running 1 website, which is configured as website #1.

What's weird is that I noticed the last 20 or so news items were being stored in Website 0, but the releated news WAS working fine until these last 2 items.

So, what determines which website the news items gets stored in? (I'm using the plaintext editor) How can I move the news items that are in my db in the 0 website to the #1 site? And if that works, I'm assuming the related news will start working again?

Help! Smiling Face

The related search feature is looking for the first 8 (or 4 after the modification) characters of a title. In your example it would look for "CC: ".

Ok, that worked for one of the stories (with the shorter title), but curiously, not the one with the longer title.

I managed to fix that one as well by changing the stoy title. Instead of CC: First to Fight, I just made it First to Fight and then it found related items too.

Maybe the colon in the title was screwing up the query somehow?

I assume that the title is to short to work with the related feature. You could try to changing the following line in story.php and your templates:

$searchstory = addslashes(substr($insert[story_title], 0, 8));

with:

$searchstory = addslashes(substr($insert[story_title], 0, 4));

This will change the search character limit from 8 to 4.

Can you post a link to that news item in question? Also, are the two news in a different category?

Ok, I did that, and the stories moved fine, but the related news still doesn't work for the 2 newest items, but does for everything else.

If I manually search for similar items, I do get 5-10 results returned, so there woulld be related items for each story.

I tried moving all the stores to website 1 but that didn't help either. (FYI: When I imported my previous news db into ST, it put all the news into website #1, which seemed correct to me..)

What can we try next?

Website #0 means that this news are available to all installed websites. This is the default setting while running a single site setup.

To set all stories to website #0, run the following SQL query in phpMyAdmin:

UPDATE  esselbach_st_stories SET story_website ='0'
