Forum OpenACS Q&A: Cannot add a News item - content type not registered to folder

Using postgres, OpenACS 5.1.1, and News 5.0d2, originally I was able to post a News item, but now although all looks fine up through the Preview, when I click Confirm I consistently get the error message below stating that "content type news is not registered to this folder".

Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

The error msg:

Database operation "0or1row" failed (exception NSDB, "Query was not a statement returning rows.")

ERROR:  -20000: This items content type news is not registered to this folder -100

Fixed with

  insert into cr_folder_type_map values (-100, 'news');
Al, this does seem related to the issue you were having with project-manager. Do you have edit-this-page installed?
