"Frontend User Management" vs "FrontEndUsers"

[fredmartin]

A week ago, our CMS site changed and I don't know the reason why.

Up until then, when at the CMS Admin Panel, under "Users and Groups", the "Frontend User Management" option was available.

Now, it says "FrontEndUsers" and when choosing that, I do not see a user list any longer, nor do I have an "add user" option as I had before.

What does appear is a sparse search window of sorts, see image.

I'm quite sure CMS is many versions behind but the website is a legacy thing, the 3rd party that developed the site is no longer available, and I am cautious about changing anything. I certainly don't know what sort of change caused the issue.

I'm hoping it's an inadvertant config change that's causing this.

Please paste system info here, looks like a very old version or you are using a very old admin theme...

probably the same as this topic: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... 28&t=66524

[fredmartin]

Yes, same topic. ddube and I work together.

I am quite sure we are using a very old version, but I doubt we can change that now without seriously risking breaking the rest of the workings of the website. It's all the same vintage, 2009 or so.

there is no other way

You can upgrade it on the side.. Once you get it working again, rotate it in as the live site.

>>Another user just had the same issue on an old install.
>>Was your version of PHP upgraded recently?

ddube posted on the same issue, yes. We can continue here just to keep it in one place.

Yes, our web hosting service (MediaTemple) just upgraded their hosting service. It seems likely to me now, although I am not certain, that PHP would have been upgraded.

Unfortunately today I find the whole site completely down, so this issue of CMSMS is second on the list, now. I will get back here as soon as possible about this.

I will verify with MediaTemple about PHP versions.

I have the PHP information now.

Previously PHP v4.4.9, now PHP v5.4.13, following recent upgrade.

[fredmartin]

Hopefully this is the version info you were looking for. FrontEndUsers ver 1.2.0

[Jos]

please upgrade to CMSms 1.11.6 and FrontEndUsers 1.21.15 as soon as possible

[fredmartin]

Thanks. I'm no web developer and the 3rd party that we had employed is no longer available. We'll have to expend some money for this and, seeing as the whole site is a legacy setup, there is potential for other things to break as well, then need repair.

Can I be certain this will resolve it?

See http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/upgrading for upgrading from older versions.

Go to Site Admin -> System information and paste the info it displays.

If your system doesn't have this option, paste that whole module screen (not just the section you posted) we'll be able to see all your modules. Then someone will be able to comment if you'll have trouble after upgrading (some modules from that vintage don't exist any longer).

[fredmartin]

Here's the whole module screen.

CMSMS 1.1.1 with fairly standard modules. Well I stand by my suggestion then. The only module I don't recognise is Page Blocks and I can't see that listed in http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/ By the name of the module I'll wager you'll be able to do what it did in 2007 another way.

How many Pages do you have listed when you go to Content -> Pages? Any less than 30 I'd be doing a plain-vanilla install rather than upgrading.
