in reply to Refusal to approve

The node got a (wrong) approval into monkdiscuss, as a Perl Monks Discussion, but was "later" (or at the same time) moved to be a Meditation. The second approval into Meditations then didn't take. I've now removed the approval into the wrong group and approved the node into the right group.

    If you understand that then you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!

      Hmmm - let me try a different explanation then:

      Approval and section membership are two different things in the DB (unfortunately).

      Although the two, approval and section membership are different, they still need to be in concord (again, unfortunately).

      A node of type a needs a matching approval into section A. If any approval already exists, no other approval can be added.

      So, if a node of type a has approval A but then gets changed into type b, it cannot be approved into section B until the approval from section A is removed.
