Hi,

If assume correctly, the fud_fetch_cat_forums should return all forums inside given categories.

However, the function uses another FUDApi function called _fud_simple_fetch_query. This function is defined as:
function _fud_simple_fetch_query($arg, $query)
{
        if ($arg) {    
		$arg = is_numeric($arg) ? array($arg) : $arg;
	} else {
		$arg = array();
	}
	$result = array();
	$r = uq(str_replace('{ARG}', implode(',', $arg), $query));
	while ($row = db_rowobj($r)) {
		$result[] = $row;
	}
	unset($r);
	if ($arg && count($result) != count($arg)) {
		return FALSE;
	} else {
		if (count($result) == 1) {
			return array_pop($result);
		} else {
			return $result;
		}
	}
}


after unset($r); statement the code compares count of arguments into count of results. If the count of arguments does not match count of results the function returns false. This, as far as I understand, means that if I pass single category id into the function, I will get proper result if the category has only one forum inside of it. If the category has two forums or more, I get false.

I think this is a bug, or have I misunderstood something?

It looks OK to me. If the function returns one result, it will be returned to the caller. However, if it returns more than one result, an array will be returned to the caller.

The code

if ($arg && count($result) != count($arg)) {
    return FALSE;


just beneath unset($r) says

"if $arg evaluates true and result count does not equal arg count return false"

lets assume that I have two forums inside category which id is 1. The category id (1) goes to $arg variable. My result contains two rows since I have two forums inside my category. My $arg exists, my arg count is one and my result count is two. The function returns FALSE since both conditions in the if match.

Am I just missing something? =)
