Meta Comment Bug causes mess

1 Mar 10, 2021 09:13    

Hello,

After I have deleted years old meta comments I recognized first, that for logged in users the sidebar (of any skin, incl. bootstrap_blog_skin) has disappeared. Secondly I realized that also the meta comment formula has disappeared, partly, because the workflow part remained. Thirdly there is - although activated - no subscription link for the single post - it disappeared, too.
I 've deleted all caches and orphans, checked the DB by maintenance tools. Nope. In all collections,where I have cleaned up meta comments the same problem. When creating a new collection, this problem does not occur.
Before upgrading to 7.2.3 I want a well functioning version of 6.11.7 - because I am afraid, that while the upgrade process the bug may cause further and perhaps more severe problems.
Is there a way to get rid of deleted meta comments (like in case of deleted comments)? Might it be, that manual cleaning in DB is necessary? Is there a fix for this bug.

It seems, that the problem is caused by the upgrade process from 6.11.5 to 6.11.7

The souce code of the page shows, that there has been some coding towards < feedback> and obviously some bugs have to be fixed. @fplanque commented, that the dev support here in this forum stopped, especially for older versions than 7.2.3. The community support - with exception of @amoun - does not actually exist.
6.11.7 is the last stable version in 6x
To install 7x requirements are needed that are not feasible for everyone. So they are left back with a buggy last version of 6x. This is not really convincing.

So I hope, that there is hope. Hope dies last

The screeshot shows, that there is no drag & drop field in the buggy version. May be that this symptom correlates to workflow, meta comments and the bug of missing sidebar within a single page view for logged in users.

i FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM:
When activating "Threaded Comments" in collection > features > comments in 6.11.7 for all logged in users sidebars in single post view disappears.

So the BUG relates to "Threaded Comments". One step further.
It would be great to get a fix.
