FrontEnd Users and user permissions (and probably more...)

Post by Yvan B »

Hi everybody !

I've been using CMSMS for no more than 2 weeks and I really have lots of trouble to do what I want. Here it comes:

CMSMS: 1.7 (in french), CMSMailer: 1.73.14, FrontEndUsers 1.8.1, PHP: 5.2.11, MySQL 5.0.84 and server api : apache2handler

1. I try to use the frontend user module to have a member area in my site. it works pretty well, but for the forgotten password form. When I use it, the e-mail is not sent, although it says one has been sent with 'i-don't-know-what-yet' to help me recover my password. I set that the username is an email address. I tried with 3 valid address and one that is not and I had the exact same reaction. One of the valid adress was the one I have on the same server where my site is hosted.
Moreover, on the same page/content, the form is still here (without any button, just a single area where I can put my username) and if I press 'enter', it apparently launches a search on nothing... Either it's very weird, either I don't get it at all. Anyway, I don't know where the hell the message and the form come from.

I don't know why the e-mail is not sent. The template looks very simple, but I can't tell if I'm suppose to provide any other info about an email server or anything, or maybe just the email subject. I don't know and I can't find anything to answer my questions.

Did you try this 'forgotten password' form yourself ?

2. I'll have lots of editors for this site and I want them all to be able to reach the member area. I wish I could just set somewhere that editors are frontend users, but I don't see this option. (it'd f*cking useful though)
So, what I try is to let the editors create frontend users, but setting the permissions is very hard and probably buggy (Modify FrontEnd Users Properties is there twice, Modify Group Assignments let you manage every user group assignment... but not yours - guess it should be the contrary...)

Can anyone be of any assistance with this matter ?

EDIT: I actually found out that a user has to be allowed to modify all users (BackEnd) to be able to create a FrontEnd user... Is it a problem with my CMSMS version or my FrontEnd version ?

3. I tried to change the title of a content block when I get to the 'forgotten password' form :

In the 'forgotten password' template:
{assign var='title2' value='Mot de passe oublié ?'}

and then in the main template:

         
           
             
               {print showbutton=true script=true}
                  {if isset($title2)}{$title2}{else}{title}{/if}
               {content}
               


This doesn't work and if you could tell me why, that'd be great ! Thanks :)

Ok, I found something wrong in the CMSMailer module configuration. Sorry, my mistake. I do receive the message. And  I can then set a new password. But I get the following error after doing so:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Smarty_CMS::ProcessTemplateFromData() in
/home/www/2facc9cde4200ebea4065b97f8888179/web/test_cmsms/modules/FrontEndUsers/action.do_verifycode.php on line 120

line120 is: $page = $smarty->ProcessTemplateFromData($page);

I'm not sure about this either... What do you think I can do ?

Yes a lot of the FEU modules have been updated recently like FEU, Custom Content, Self Reg. NMS... iirc...
