UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 Bug Reports login problem (5.1.2b2)

I logout then when I try to login I get the message= All of the required fields are not filled in.
If I try again it works.

N.B. Running the last beta version 5.1.2b2.
N.B. I confirm the other bugs I reported are fixed

Thanks for the report. Will get that fixed today.

Ok, can't seem to duplicate that here. Did you update your language files when you updated to 5.1.2b2?

New test => It's only happening when session is the chosen option in the config file.

Hmm. I am using sessions here.

If it's telling you all fields are not filled in then it is falling through this check in start_page.php:

if ($option == "$lang[BUTT_FORGOT]") {
mail_password($Username,$Cat);
}
elseif ($option == "$lang[BUTT_LOGIN]") {
$html = new html;
$html -> start_page ($Username,$Password,$Cat, 1, "");
}
else {
$html = new html;
$html -> not_right("$lang[ALL_FIELDS]", $Cat);
}

So, obviously it's not matching on the 2 options. This is why I ask if you updated all of your language files. The reason being, is I changed the location of the BUTT_FORGOT and BUTT_LOGIN strings.

I updated all the files except the config one. I just changed the path line in main.inc.php

Can you modify your start_page.php script. Just this one portion where it says:

else {
$html = new html;
$html -> not_right("$lang[ALL_FIELDS]", $Cat);
}

Try changing that to this:

else {
$html = new html;
$html -> not_right("Option is $option", $Cat);
}

This will tell you what $option variable, if any, is being sent to the start_page.php script. If it is not working from the logout.php script then it's either not passing the proper option or it's not passing any option.

I get the message: <i>Option is Connecter </i>. Like before the change, the login works when I try again.

Connecter? What the heck is that?[]/w3timages/icons/crazy.gif[/] Can you take a look at the source of the logout.php page when you first logout. Down towards the bottom you will see a the code for the buttons, this is where the option value is getting set. Can you check and see what you have for those?

Sorry, "Connecter" is the the french translation of "Login". []/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/]

in the source I checked the option is "Login".

One question:
Where is the call/include of the generic.pl file? I thought it must be in the main.inc.php but it is not there.

It sounds like you have a duplicate language string somewhere. It's not matching because in one file it must be the french version while in the other, it's english. I checked the language files here and I did remove all duplicates of this and put it into the generic.php file. The only file you should have the BUTT_LOGIN and the BUTT_FORGOT string is in generic.php.

The generic.php file is included in main.inc.php, on about line 39.

OK, the problem seems to be fixed now. I found BUTT_FORGOT in login.php language script.
Scream, I changed all the files! []/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/] In fact I don't plan to do any mods before the final release, so each time there's a new beta version I'll install it "as is" for more accurate tests
