txp:password_protect not working

Manaus · 2014-07-30 17:03:40

Hello,
I’m protecting a page with this tag, but when I compile the two fields, I get a page refresh and the login/pass dialog again, and again, and again…
4.4.1 here.

Thanks for any help

Hi Manaus

Can you post the code (replacing the login/pass) here? Also, are you sure your browser can accept cookies (I’m not sure if the tag makes use of them)

Manaus · 2014-07-30 20:38:07

Sure here it is:

<txp:password_protect login="thelogin" pass="thepass" />

<div class="download">
	<txp:file_download_link id="219" class="filedownload"><txp:image id="568" /></txp:file_download_link>
	<div class="pdfdetails">
		<strong>Download</strong>
                [...]

Thanks!

do you have the tag is a page template or an article? I’ve use the tag a number of times without any problems in articles.

Manaus · 2014-07-31 08:32:04

Yes it’s an article.

colak · 2014-07-31 09:58:20

Did you try?

==<txp:password_protect login="thelogin" pass="thepass" />==

<div class="download">
	<txp:file_download_link id="219" class="filedownload"><txp:image id="568" /></txp:file_download_link>
	<div class="pdfdetails">
		<strong>Download</strong>
                [...]

Thanks, just tried but looks like it’s not changing behaviour…

Another try… I guess you know that p/l is case sensitive. Did you try to change those?

Hi Manaus,

did you find a solution for your problem?
I am facing the same problem since I updated on version 4.5.7. – it keeps telling me that I am using either a wrong username or password.

I protected a section:
<txp:if_section name=“archiv”>
<txp:output_form form=“passwort” />
</txp:if_section>

and the form simply looks like that:
<txp:password_protect login=“admin” pass=”*****” />

My diagnostics tell me, that some PHP-functions are deactivated:
pcntl_alarm, pcntl_fork, pcntl_waitpid, pcntl_wait, pcntl_wifexited, pcntl_wifstopped, pcntl_wifsignaled, pcntl_wexitstatus, pcntl_wtermsig, pcntl_wstopsig, pcntl_signal, pcntl_signal_dispatch, pcntl_get_last_error, pcntl_strerror, pcntl_sigprocmask, pcntl_sigwaitinfo, pcntl_sigtimedwait, pcntl_exec, pcntl_getpriority, pcntl_setpriority

Might that be the problems cause?

Very wired!

Thank you in advance!!

I’ve removed the password in the code you posted.
Those deactivated PHP functions are not causing this problem.

You have fancy quotes in your code. Try plain ones instead. Find this:

<txp:if_section name=“archiv”>
<txp:output_form form=“passwort” />
</txp:if_section>

…and replace with:

<txp:if_section name="archiv">
<txp:output_form form="passwort" />
</txp:if_section>

Find this:

<txp:password_protect login=“admin” pass=”*****” />

…and switch it with this:

<txp:password_protect login="admin" pass="*****" />

When I try your code and substitute the default section instead of archiv, it throws this error:

Tag error: <txp:if_section name=“default”> ->  Textpattern Warning: Attribute values must be quoted. while parsing form None on page default

Couple more things to check:

does your site throw a similar error when it’s in Testing mode?
is your passwort form a miscellaneous form?

mkb · 2015-02-19 20:45:35

When using the testing mode it shows (hope my translation is right):

Tag error: <txp:output_form form=“passwort” /> -> Textpattern Notice: form_circular_reference: passwort while parsing form passwort on page ***_Archiv

And when using the debug mode it shows:

Tag error: <txp:output_form form=“passwort” /> -> Textpattern Notice: form_circular_reference: passwort while parsing form passwort on page ***_Archiv
textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:1969 trigger_error()
textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php:305 parse_form()
textpattern/lib/txplib_publish.php:426 output_form()
textpattern/lib/txplib_publish.php:326 processTags()
textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php:3789 parse()
textpattern/lib/txplib_publish.php:426 if_section()
textpattern/lib/txplib_publish.php:339 processTags()
textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:2321 parse()
textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php:768 txp_die()
textpattern/lib/txplib_publish.php:426 password_protect()

Yes, my passwort-form is a miscellaneous form.

Thank you so far!

Textpattern Notice: form_circular_reference: passwort while parsing form passwort on page ***_Archiv

This is caused by a “loop” in your Pages/Forms site structure somewhere. Usually, the <txp:article> tag uses a Form to render its content (Form: default unless you’ve changed it). If you have another <txp:article> or <txp:article_custom> inside that Form which also uses the default Form, you get a loop and Textpattern will show that error.

In this case, your password protect tag on the Archiv page must be referenced in such a loop, so I’d start there. Trace through your Page code and visit each Form as if you were Textpattern and see if you can find any Forms that are called inside themselves.

Feel free to post here your Page and any relevant Forms that are called if you need assistance tracking the loop down.
