ign_password_protect

hmm – I haven’t had time to test against 4.0.6 – but will try to do this weekend. Sadly I’ve been obscenely buried of late.

I have exactly the same problem with 0.5.b.4. Also in firefox when I login I can’t log out or sometimes it ask me to login again – cookie problem? Can you also please make it work (extension tab) in 4.0.6?

Thanks!

On Textpattern 4.0.6 you can only login with a one browser and computer

trying to use a graphic button rather than the ign submit…
<button type="submit" name="submit" value=""><img src="/images/login.png" alt="Login" /></button>

any ideas?

UPDATE: form wasn’t working when I had name and id attributes specified in the <txp:ign_user_field /> and <txp:ign_pass_field /> tags! now going good with button element…

for those asking about the back-end tabs – the current release moved the “Manage Users” tab from Extensions to the Admin tab – to move it back to the Extensions tab, you can edit the line that reads

register_tab('admin', 'ign_user_mgmt', ign_gtxt('manage_users'));

to

register_tab('extensions', 'ign_user_mgmt', ign_gtxt('manage_users'));

And you’ll get things back where you’d expect. It’s not really a 4.0.6 issue per se.

what are the benefits of the ‘alternate user database’?

is it possible to send a specific email when registering these users?

purpose is for site admin to register ‘members’ on a site – but they shouldn’t receive an email with a Textpattern login – they should just get an email with a ‘front-end’ login

thanks igner

The benefit of the alternate user database is complete flexibility in terms of permissions levels and keeping front-end users discrete from back-end users.

you can currently customize the email message being sent by modifying the new_user_email variable in the $ign_gTxt function. It’s kinda kludgy at this point, I know. At some point I will move this to a TXP form, but that requires free time, something that’s in very short supply these days.

Igner, I don’t know if you realize how essential this plug-in is to raise the profile Textpattern as a truly serious and full-fledged CMS. I want to encourage you to really continue development on it and give you a big pat on the back for putting in what time you can to push its evolution. I understand the time crunch. We’re all pretty busy. But your hard work does help to make others productive. So kudos to you.

Just wish you could add a sentence at the top of your web page just to make people aware that there are significant updates offered here. I didn’t know how advanced this plug-in had gotten till I visited the forum.

Hi, I’ve been having trouble getting the pligin to work properly in IE7. Using 0.5b4 it works OK in Firefox, but in IE the behaviour I get it I enter credentials into the login form, which get accepted and the form dissappears, but if I then navigate away from the page I am no longer logged in. It seems the cookie isn’t getting set.

I’ve had a little poke about and looking at the cookies that I’m getting in Firefox, it seems the domain is getting set to “.co.uk” for a site served from foo.ukdomain.co.uk. I’m guessing that IE doesn’t accept cookies for a whole TLD like this (and that might actaully be a good thing it’s doing better than Firefox for once). If I change the code in the plugin to set the cookie for only the full subdomain of the site it seems to work in both browsers.

Changed

$d = explode('.', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
$domain = '.'.join('.', array_slice($d, -2, 2));

to

$domain = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

What’s the motivation for the slicing up in the first place? Is it intended to allow the cookie to work across subdomains of a domain? Maybe this should be optional?

I successfully installed and tested this plugin on my own development server. When I copied the installation to the live server, however, I get those errors whenever I’m logged in on the public side:

A problem occured while loading the plugin: ign_password_protect -> 
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by 
(output started at /path/to/site/index.php:10) on line 509

A problem occured while loading the plugin: ign_password_protect -> 
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by 
(output started at /path/to/site/index.php:10) on line 511

I compared diagnostics on both setups and they are virtually identical except for the following:

Working setup:

MySQL: 5.0.45-log
Register globals: 1

Nonworking setup:

MySQL: 4.1.20-log

I already tried uncommenting php_value register_globals 0 in .htaccess, no effect. Any ideas??

P. S. This occurs with both 0.4.2d and 0.5b4. I’m running TXP 4.0.5.

@kelsta – the domain is sliced up to address some other issues, but there’s a flaw in the currently shipping version that doesn’t handle multiple tlds (i.e. .co.uk, etc.). On the plus side, I do have a fix that addresses most cases (though there are some fringe cases where it won’t apply).

@alannie – Disabling the register_globals is a good plan regardless, but that wouldn’t affect the output. What other plugins are you running? Is there anything else that might be outputting headers?

alannie · 2008-03-07 23:27:14

Found the problem, it was whitespace at the very top of index.php (where I’d previously inserted a php “site maintenance” notice). D’oh!

Thanks for the tip!

igner · 2008-03-07 23:29:24

Glad you got it sorted. I’ve been bitten by that whitespace bug more than once myself, so you have my sympathy.

Hi igner,

I have a 4.05 site which uses a modified version (by Manfre) of version 0.5b4. I would like to upgrade to 4.06, but first need to confirm that it will work properly.

The changes are, as per Manfre:

“forces an authentication attempt as long as the username field is not empty. The unmodified behavior was to do nothing, unless a username and password were provided.”

I can email you the the version as I have it, if that would help. Thanks for the wonderful plugin!

One request: Is it possible to be able to search for users – I have about 5-6 pages of users, and its hard to find someone.
