Authentication Issue after Merge

[guider]

Okay that gets this for the mos_core_acl_aro table:

aro_id section_value value order_value name hidden
      10 users 62 0 Administrator 0
      15 users 67 0 James Caan 0
      17 users 69 0 Eric Baas 0
      18 users 70 0 testlogin 0
      19 users 0 0 testlogin123 0
      20 users 71 0 testlogin123 0
      21 users 72 0 Orstio 0

Note: 'name' shows the name each user can input. It isn't the same as the username. For adminaccount my username is guider.

And this for mos_core_acl_groups_aro_map:

  group_id section_value aro_id
      18   17
      18   18
      18   19
      18   21
      19   15
      25   10

Note: section_value is blank.

What goes where?

[Kindred]

we;;, the immediate problem that I see is that you have 2 entries for the testlogin123

[Orstio]

Yep, users #19 and 20 are a problem.  User #19 has no value, and user #20 is not mapped to a user group.

[guider]

So deleting users 19 and 20 from the mos_core_acl_aro table should get us going?

[Orstio]

No, that will still give you errors.

Delete one of them, and make sure there is a corresponding entry for the other in both tables.

[guider]

So which do you suggest deleting (does it matter?), and what do I need to insert in what table?

[guider]

I just went nuts and let 'logic' dictate. I deleted 20 because that value seems to be missing in mos_core_acl_aro. So now we have one testlogin123 with matching aro's. However, the error still pops up:

[Kindred]

Now, you have to change the value for user 19...


Change it to 71

BTW: I found this from you over on Mambers.com

I merged SMF and Mambo through the Bridge v2.2. Now, my 'registered only' menu won't display at all. I tried creating a new one but that won't appear either. I checked the settings and it says 'registered'... however no menu appears when logging in. I created a new account to see if that works but it didn't. How can we solve this? Thanks...

Answer:

Well, first of all, it looks like your login link is missing some text (it does not call mambo/index.php?option=com_smf, it just calls for mambo/?option=com_smf...

(BTW: Your "forgot password" link in SMF is incorrect.)



But after I login, I can see your "members only" menu listed below the login-box

[guider]

Yeah, I noticed that post just now. But that link does seem to be working (verify?) and, I don't know how to put this...

Problem Solved!! Thanks guys.

[Kindred]

yes, strangely enough, the link does seem to work... but it's bad form.

[guider]

Okay now that's solved another strange authentication issue.

I added submenus to the Forum link on my page. Some registered only, some public. It's like this:

Forum
- Messages [Registered]
- Profile [Registered]
- All Unread [Registered]
- User Unread [Registered]
- Search [Public]
- Help [Public]

Here's the story:

- When clicking Forum, the menu, unlike all others, will not expand.
- When adding Profile to 'Exclusieve Tips' as a submenu, clicking 'Exclusieve Tips' *will* show that submenu. However, clicking on Profile will make the menu collapse again.

Question: How do we get normal working Forum related sebmenus?


For some clicking around enter the site and login using
User: testlogin123
Pass: testlogin123

[Kindred]

How are you doing the menus?  Are you just using the basic Mambo menu system or do you have a menu module?

(personally, I really like the swfreemenu)

[guider]

Yeah basic Mambo is okay. Now we just need to do is get this thing going.

[guider]

So this can't be done?

[Kindred]

I'm not sure why it's not working for you... I have one instance running with the basic menu system and the sub-items get called and appear just fine....

[guider]

Forumrelated submenus? Did you see the difference on my site between regular static content subs and Forum-related ones?

[Kindred]

The only sub menu that I can see on your site is under "exclusieve Tips"

I have various sub menus...   you can check it out at http://aaw.turtleshellprod.com

It's still under construction, but I have the sub menus showing

Details for the froum are in sub menus under forums... and newsfeeds is a sub menu of news...   both work

And there are several regsitered only links in the forum submenu as well as some public ones

[chadness]

What menu type are you using for your links?  I'm guessing the Profile one goes away when you click on it because it's a Link-URL.

Why the other ones aren't expanding out, I'm not sure.  It might have to do with what menu type you are using for your Forum.

[guider]

@kindred: I see but ur using a menuaddon you said earlier. You're seeing only one submenu because the Forum-related ones ain't working. I'm hoping that in basic Mambo they can in combination with SMF menuitems.

@chadness: They're all Link-URL's as there's no other way of linking them (since they aren't mambo components).
