    • Changing Users Passwords

    Posted by steve2

    Gentlemen,

    I'm using version 6.0Beta1 and noticed that it's not possible to create users, at least not from the application.

    Has anyone else noticed this? Where's the best place to get some help?

    Regards,

    P.S. I'm aware that I could probably do this via the database administration interface, but I don't know MySQL. I'm still hoping 6 will run on Postgres, but that's the topic of another post.

    I just tested with a Tiki installation using the branch 6 development code (not exactly the 6.0 beta code but the same except for the code commits since the release of 6.0 beta), and was able to add a new user as before. I guess we can see if other people report a problem.

    I should have been more specific. I can add users, but I can't change their passwords. The system seems to get stuck at 'Click here to confirm', but that just leads to /tikiwiki/tiki-adminusers.php# and nothing seems to happen.

    That same user edit page also does some funny blinking, on both Safari & Firefox.

    Cheers,
    - Steve

    Ah, ok, I tested changing the user's password and had the same problem - it didn't get changed. I also thought it was weird to get the "confirm your action" message just accessing the user's information before I changed anything. Do you want to submit a bug report at dev.tiki.org?

    I've seen the blinking in the past especially in Firefox when the Firebug add-on is installed. Do you have anything on the page that uses extra Javascript, like the Sharethis plugin? That could also be a factor. Or have you noticed blinking on the same kind of page that didn't have it in an earlier Tiki version?

    I'm quite new to TikiWiki, so wouldn't have noticed it in a previous version. FireFox, and Safari, are pretty much out of the box, with FireFox only have the Amazon EC2 related plugins, and I've seen the blinking in both of them.

    I also noticed the 'confirm your action' before making any changes. My suspecion is that this area must have received some recent rework and hasn't settled down yet (which is unfortunate, since I've got new users that want to try TikiWiki out!).

    Would love to submit a bug report, but it might be best if someone with a bit more experience with the product do so.

    Regards,

    There were some fixes just made in this area, so chances are this particular problem was covered and the next release will be working OK.

    I got this exact same problem too. Does anyone know when the next release is coming up?
