Thread:Help talk:Repairing SMW's data/My property list is mainly empty - what happened and how do I fix it?/reply (10)

I'm still trying to solve this.

I still have the property list showing all properties as unused -- such as:

Agenda of type Page (0 uses)

To try to fix this, I took all the property names and created a scratch page which declared them as properties. Like this:

Agenda::test of property

When I save the page, it looks as if it has understood this:

-some of these are accepted and show 'Test_of_property' in black since it is of type 'Text' - some show that they're understood and the property page doesn't exist, by showing read - some give an error '!' because the property is incorrectly set - eg. 'Test_of_property' is not type 'Date' - Some show blue and are a link to 'Test_of_property' (which doesn't, of course, exist.

So it looks as if that part of SMW is working.

However, with a page with properties, if a wiki is working, on the left side-bar, you get the 'Browse Properties' option. When you click on that, you see all the properties.

On my wiki, that option does not appear.

So, in effect, SMW is treating the page as if it has no properties on it.

This seems to be the underlying problem.

Any suggestions about what might be causing this?
