Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions/Flow

Hello,

Due to some minor issues with flow that I won't go into, I have decided to go back to LIquidthreads temporarily. I removed the "require_once "$IP/extensions/Flow/Flow.php";" statement for flow from LocalSettings.php, and re-added the require once statement for liquidthreads. Everything is working great except on the talk pages I had created when I was using Flow. To clarify, talk pages that were not created when flow was enabled work fine, only the ones that were created using flow. When I try to access the talk pages that previously had flow pages created on them I get the error:

/index.php/Talk:Organization MWUnknownContentModelException from line 353 of /var/www/html/includes/content/ContentHandler.php: The content model 'flow-board' is not registered on this wiki.

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_handlers to find out which extensions handle this content model.

Backtrace:

#0 /var/www/html/includes/content/ContentHandler.php(290): ContentHandler::getForModelID(string)

#1 /var/www/html/includes/MediaWiki.php(405): ContentHandler::getForTitle(Title)

#2 /var/www/html/includes/MediaWiki.php(286): MediaWiki->initializeArticle()

#3 /var/www/html/includes/MediaWiki.php(745): MediaWiki->performRequest()

#4 /var/www/html/includes/MediaWiki.php(519): MediaWiki->main()

#5 /var/www/html/index.php(43): MediaWiki->run()

#6 {main}

I know this has something to do with ContentHandler.php and switching the content model away from flow board, but I am unsure how to do this.

Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated.

"I removed the "require_once "$IP/extensions/Flow/Flow.php";" statement for flow"

By doing so, you uninstalled Flow. That is why Flow boards no longer work. I don't recommend uninstalling Flow. I think it will cause issues such as broken logs. (You can add that line back to re-enable it.)

If you want to stop using it, you can just move the Flow boards to archive pages (there is a moveBatch.php in core that may be helpful).

If you really want to uninstall Flow, you can first use maintenance/convertToText.php (in the Flow extension) to convert the pages to text, then delete the original Flow versions.

Thank you.
