Admin login twice

[lumimies]

Hello

For some reason I have to log in twice to reach admin pages.

- also admin log shows "logged in" two separate times

This behaviour started after upgrade 1.12.1 >> 2.1.5

Any suggestions to try?

What browser do you use?

[lumimies]

Hi

Mostly FF or Chrome on Mac. Behaviour is the same on IE / Win also

[Rolf]

There are more similar reports, I have also seen it a few times myself...
But it happens not frequently and inconsistent. Some sites at the same server have it sometimes, others don't. We have no leads to think it is a bug within CMSMS or a module. Not saying it isn't one, but if we can't reproduce it, it can't be fixed.

So it might also be a server or browser related problem...

Nothing more I can do at this time sadly.

Hi

Ok - Thank You. My servers php log shows:

"PHP Notice: Only variable references should be returned by reference in ../lib/classes/class.useroperations.inc.php on line 197"

... but i do not know if this has anything to do with this matter..

Regards

[Rolf]

No, that one is not related. Should be fixed for 2.2 release.

Ok - Thanks for these.

I'm having the same issue - running the latest version (2.1.6)
For me it happens every time I try to log in.

[caciavar]

I found out what was causing my issue... maybe this is a clue into what the issues are for everyone else.

In my case, I have a custom (forked) module where in the <Module Name>.module.php, there are a bunch of lines like this:

Code: Select all

$this->CreateParameter('summarytemplate','',$this->Lang('param_summarytemplate'));
$this->SetParameterType('summarytemplate',CLEAN_STRING);
$this->CreateParameter('sortby','product_name',$this->Lang('param_sortby'));
$this->SetParameterType('sortby',CLEAN_STRING);
$this->CreateParameter('sortorder','asc',$this->Lang('param_sortorder'));
$this->SetParameterType('sortorder',CLEAN_STRING);

...etc.

If a parameter is created in this file, but does not have a corresponding entry in the language file (ex. 'lang\en_US.php'), then you will experience the behaviour of having to login twice (although you just need to manually change the url to \admin from \admin\login.php after the first login attempt which doesn't properly redirect).

Once you ensure all the "created parameters" have corresponding "$lang" declarations, the normal login behaviour is restored.

I'm not sure if this is true for all modules or if this was just the case for the custom, forked module that I am working with, but I hope this helps pinpoint an issue with a module or with the CMSMS core.

I'd be interested to test whether or not missing $lang declarations cause this type of behaviour across the board for all modules in the latest CMSMS (I'm currently running 2.1.6). I'll have to test that out when I have some more time.

Filled a bug report: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/bug/view/11269 Will follow this thread for further discussion.

If I can test something (BETA) or fix let me know.
