Upgrade to 4.4.6 - sermon list now empty

I upgraded my localhost test site to use version 4.4.6. Now I'm receiving "Sorry, unfortunately I didn't find any Sermons" from the Sermons view. The Latest Sermons module is still displaying a listing, correctly.

Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

Thanks,

Mike

Can you check the server error log and/or enable the Joomla error logging? I'd say it's a database query problem and maybe we get some hints from the log.

I was checking the menu links I had setup. I found "Component 'com_sermonspeaker' does not exist" showing up for all my SermonSpeaker listings. I thought perhaps something in the upgrade didn't apply correctly, so I did an uninstall of the package & then reinstalled.

Once I restored my SermonSpeaker tables, I selected the menu item and reselected the link type as Sermons List & saved. The Sermons List did show after this. Is it possible there was something mixed up in the menu links. Would the upgrade cause this?

One thing I noticed, under the Basic Options the Category field description makes mention of a "root" option. I remember this from my original setup of the menu choices. I'm not seeing that item in the drop-list any more. Not sure if this is contributing or not.

Thanks for a great component.

Depending on what your SermonSpeaker version was before the update, yes this could be possible. There was one update which required that you re-save your menu items. However it wasn't necessary to reinstall SermonSpeaker, it was enough to open the menu item and save it again.

The "root" option is gone now because categories are now required.

Makes sense. Wish I would have tried the menus first. That way I wouldn't have had to rebuild the categories...

If categories aren't required, then shouldn't there be a "root" option, or a blank or "select" option in the drop-down? The first category in the list will always be selected if there isn't a non-choice (for lack of a better term) in the drop-down list.

Thanks again!

There was a 'w' missing in my previous post, sorry for that.
