Steve,

Thanks for building such an amazingly flexible framework! I’m not sure I entirely understand the authentication/permissions functionality in Xataface, but I must be missing something simple, because even though I’m logged in, I get a “You must be logged in to change your password” error message whenever I click the “Change Password” link. Any ideas? Thanks!

Strange. What authentication mechanism are you using? Just the standard auth type? Does it say “Logged in As yourusername” in the upper right of the page?
What version of Xataface are you using?

Apologies if my naiveté shows, but I’m using the getPermissions function in the Application Delegate as follows, then opening specific permissions on each table.

Code: Select all

function getPermissions(&$record){       $auth =& Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance();       $user =& $auth->getLoggedInUser();       if   ($user && ($user->val('Role') == 'ADMIN'))           {return Dataface_PermissionsTool::ALL();}       else {return Dataface_PermissionsTool::NO_ACCESS();}             }

Yes, it does say “Logged in As yourusername”. I’m running 1.3rc6.

Thanks!
Patrick

I think this bug was fixed. If you update to 1.3.2 it should fix the issue.

Sounds good. I’ll give it a try and let you know.
