Description

Watch Module must be turned on.
Category module must be tuned on.
Article Module must be turned on.

If I create a new Article and assign it to a category that is watched by me, I should get a notifcation that a new object has entered the category. By I don´t get a notification.

I encountered this problem while I was working on the new report feature because I didn´t get an entry in the report too.

The possible Bug is located at the update_object_categories function in categlib.php (Line 1491) in the $categories variable.
$categories contains all new Categorie-ID´s of an object. So if I assign an article to a category, $categories should contain the ID of the category. No problem so far. The problem is, that each ID has a slash behind the last digit.

Copy to clipboard
print_r($categories);
die();


at the third line of the function gives

Copy to clipboard
Array
(
    [0] => 2/
)


I think the slash is wrong.

Solution

Debug it backwards and look for the place where the slash comes from.
Then remove the slash.

I debuged it back somewhere to the tree-generator but I didn´t unterstand the code. Sry.

A hack to solve the problem temporary is, to remove the slash from the ID in the update_object_categories function itself.

Copy to clipboard
//Dirty hack to remove the Slash at the end of the ID (Why is there a slash?!)
foreach($categories as $key=>$category) {
	if($category{strlen($category)-1}=="/")
		$categories[$key]=substr($category, 0, -1);
}
