Well. Being that Farcry was completely unusable I had no choice but to re-install and re-create the entire website and all of it's content. I read through many posts by other people in here and I see that moving tree items consistently causes corruption. Should I backup the database every time I want to move a tree item? Is this a problem that is not being addressed anymore by Daemon?
Actually tree corruption is very rare -- and typically only occurs when we're developing something, hence the diagnostic and repair tools. But if you can provide a series of steps that replicate corruption we'd be happy to address the issue.
In future, it is worth noting that the tree and the underlying data are quite separate from each other. The tree model is like an overlay for objects that require tree relationships. By default, these are simply navigation and category objects -- but its an internal service you can apply to any relevant object.
Tree "corruption" for want of a better word, is simply a loss of topographic metadata and *not* a loss of underlying object data.
If you still need to do data recovery, you could copy your dmHTML table into the new database and then write a script to attach all HTML objects to a single navigation node. All you would have to do manually at that point is rebuid the tree (see the admin quick builder for a fast way to do this) and then drag drop the HTML objects to their correct place.
