FrontEnd Users 1.1.3-beta2 doesn't seem to work

[moorezilla]

When I install  1.1.3-beta2 and try to configure anything it fires javascript errors and does not follow links. For example, if you try to click on the properties tab, it doesn't go anywhere.

Anyone else run into this problem?

How did you install this beta? via FTP or from XML.  If from FTP, I'd think maybe there is an upload problem.  I just double checked my version and it seems to be working fine.

Is your httpd server saying anything in the error log?

[moorezilla]

I went the xml route... nothing in the logs... yet...

I removed selfreg, customcontent, and frontend users and installed them all again. All have permissions checked off.

I tried it on a mac and on a pc in firefox 2+, ie6, and safari, and the frontend user just doesn't do anything when you click on the tabs. Weird.

On firefox, when you click on any of the tabs in the frontend user admin panel, it fires undefined javascript errors. Other than that, I don't have any clues.

do a  'view page source', and hunt for the word error and see what happens.

firebug identifies the problem as:

Code: Select all

document.getElementById(tabs[j].id + "_c") has no properties
[Break on this error] document.getElementById(tabs[j].id + "_c").style.display = 'none';

[moorezilla]

On the admin page for administrating FrontEndUsers, the source terminates early with the following:

Fatal error:  Call to undefined function myCreateInputCheckbox() in /home/web/chelseahigh/chs/modules/FrontEndUsers/action.defaultadmin.php on line 236


This is odd. I blew everything in the FrontEndUsers directory away and reuploaded it, but the issue persists. I've tried both the xml and the tar.gz methods of installation.

Edit... I grabbed a copy of beta1 and the xml install went fine. Beta1 works fine, though as is mentioned, it seems to run slowly. Beta2 just doesn't seem to work for me. Could there be a problem with the the beta2 available for download perhaps?

[calguy1000]

the myCreateInputCheckbox function is located in the functions.php, which I've verified exists in the FrontEndUsers-1.1.3-beta2.xml file, something strange is happening on your site it seems. 

Is this your first install of FEU?

if not, did you upload it via FTP the previous time?

[moorezilla]

yeah... it's strange.

i did have feu installed a couple months ago, but i uninstalled it. i used the xml install for it then. i always use the xml, unless the xml fails.

if i refresh the admin page for feu, the properties screen shows up for a split second, and then everything except for the tabbed menu items disappears, but if i uninstall beta2 and install beta1, it seems to work.

i'm at a loss. i've tried all the usual things: reupload, blow everything away and reupload, chmod everything and/or give the ownership to apache.

thanks for your help. i run ubuntu linux, php5, apache2, and mysql5, for what it's worth.

last update... I promise...

both 1.1.3-beta1 and the stable 1.1.2 release work fine for me when imported as xml, but 1.1.3-beta2 still fires the errors listed above whether I use the xml or upload the tar.

This is no big deal to me; I was just trying to help test the beta, so if anyone wants me to recreate any of these errors or offer any additional info, just let me know. Otherwise I'll just let it drop... lol.

I thought I'd chime in, I just installed cmsms 1.0.4 on a generic Fedora 6 server with a fresh mysql db.  Installed a number of modules from the Module Manager page, including FrontEndUsers 1.1.3-beta2 and the first time clicking on FrontEnd users menu from the admin pages, I get a page with tabs that don't do anything, and the exact same firebug error as shown above.  I'm accessing the site over my LAN from another FC6 computer with the current Fedora Firefox, I tried from a Windows MCE with Firefox 2.0 and IE7, none of the browsers work.

On a different note, I was thinking of installing the older version of FEU, the modules screen shows dependents and doesn't offer an uninstall link.  Do I have to uninstall the dependents first, or is there some way to simply replace the FEU version in place?

[moorezilla]

i think you can just uninstall the dependents from the modules admin section.

Beta2 had a couple of minor errors that caused it to pooch on php4 servers, and a few other shared servers.  I've fixed it, and will release a beta3 soon.

Thanks.  Fedora 6 must be one of those few others, php is version 5.1.6 on my FC6 server.

[moorezilla]

I'm looking forward to testing the next release!

Do note that I'm running on a dedicated machine, so the problems are not limited to shared environments.

I'm on ubuntu 6.10, php5, mysql5, and apache2
